Now more than ever, we are learning about the healing power of whole foods. Join us as we interview Raw Food Nutritionist & Chef, Teneille McPherson as she shares with us, some of the things we can implement into our daily routine, to improve our health and wellbeing.
We believe that an Empowered Woman, is one who takes care of her health and wellbeing, not just when things appear to be going wrong, but on a daily basis, as a way of life. There is a big difference between being fit and healthy, and Teneille gives us some principles that we can start immediately.
Also, here is the yummy recipe Teneille talks about, as a way to still enjoy our food, but not let it come at a cost to our vitality.
Choc Bounty Bar
INGREDIENTS
Crust:
1 cup almond meal
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
¼ teaspoon pure almond extract
Pinch of salt
Coconut Filling:
1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 tablespoon water
Chocolate Topping:
¼ cup cocoa powder OR Choc Complete (for more plant nutrients)
¼ cup melted coconut oil
2 tablespoons maple syrup (at room temperature)
INSTRUCTIONS
Line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper and set it aside. To prepare the crust, combine the almond meal, maple syrup, coconut oil, almond extract, and salt in a medium bowl, and stir well until a sticky dough is formed. Press it evenly into the bottom of the lined loaf pan, and set aside.
To prepare the coconut filling, combine all of the filling ingredients in the mixing bowl and stir well. Spread the coconut mixture over the crust, then use a spatula to smooth the top. Set aside.
To prepare the chocolate topping, combine all of the ingredients in the mixing bowl and use a whisk to create a silky smooth chocolate sauce. (If any of your ingredients are cold, this sauce will firm up. If that happens, simply place the bowl in a warm area or in a hot water bath briefly to liquify the ingredients again.) Pour the chocolate sauce over the top of the coconut layer and smooth the top with a spatula. Place the pan in the freezer to set until firm, about one to two hours.
Pull on the parchment paper to easily remove the solid bar from the pan, then slice into bars and serve directly from the freezer. These bars will soften fairly quickly if left at room temperature, so it's important to keep them chilled until ready to serve.
Enjoy!
