Orgasmic Fudge




NO-BAKE, NO-SUGAR ALMOND FUDGE

Ingredients: (all organic if possible)

2 cups creamy raw almond butter (unsalted)
1/2 cup coconut oil, softened
1/8 teaspoon of stevia concentrated powder - (sweetness to taste)
1 teaspoon sea salt


Directions:

Simply mix all the ingredients together in a medium bowl, until smooth and creamy. A handheld mixer works fine. (Tip: It helps if all the ingredients are at room temperature, to keep the coconut oil soft.)

Transfer the mixture to a square baking dish, or container, lined with parchment or wax paper, then smooth with a spatula, and freeze until solid (about an hour).

Remove the fudge by lifting the paper out of the pan, then cut into squares and serve immediately. Due to the nature of coconut oil, this fudge will melt if left at room temperature for long. Store in the freezer for best results. If you want to add a chocolate flavor try adding a scoop or two of Garden of Life Organic Chocolate Plant Protein Powder to the mix.

"Happy" Light



On days like today I'm glad I own a "happy" lamp!! It simulates the sunlight on these dark, winter days and is beneficial for people who struggle with SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder), depression, fatigue, moodiness, insomnia, or negativity! I sit in front of mine in the morning for 20-30 minutes if I can! You can easily order one from Amazon.com.

Choice

It's easy to compare your life with those around you, but remember their path and journey has been different from yours. I'm almost 33 years old and it seems as if everyone around me is getting engaged, married, re-married, or having babies.  I COULD dwell on the fact that I'm in my baby making prime years and get sad and jealous, but I CHOOSE not to! That's the key to life. Choice. Every day we make millions of choices.  What time to wake up, the clothes we put on, to be happy, to go to the gym, to eat healthy foods, to say no, to save money, to brush off negative comments, to give our time, to love our job, to let a flat tire ruin your day, to complain about traffic, to yell at your kids/spouse, to have a self-pity party, and so on. 

The number one thing I teach my clients is that they have control over their lives. If you don't like something, change it! There are endless possibilities and options, all you have to do is take the steps each day- no matter how large or small towards the end result or goal. Consistency. Break it down into baby steps if you need to! Take action! MAKE it happen!

Easy Peasy Recipe

Clean eating doesn't have to be complicated! This is one of my go-to dinners when I'm lacking time or getting home late from working promos.



Wild-Caught Salmon- Drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice on top. Add fresh rosemary and a tad bit of sea salt! Bake until the salmon flakes off with a fork. (Roughly 10-12 minutes) Enjoy with a side of steamed veggies!
