No Bake Paleo Cookie Dough

A tube of raw cookie dough rarely stood a chance against me, I would never bake the cookies, I'd just go ham on the raw dough of course, but since I've started eating clean I've switched to this paleo recipe and its oh so yummy. These cookie dough bars are loaded with healthy fats and flavor and are so easy to make! Honestly, too easy. Here's the recipe I used, feel free to taste as you go and add honey, vanilla or the sweetener of your choice. Without the sweeteners, the recipe is a bit bland, so feel free to add. I'm so excited for you to try it! Enjoy :) 


Here's what you'll need: 
1/2 cup Shredded Coconut
2 TBSP Coconut Oil 
2 caps or 1 tsp of Vanilla Extract
2 TBSP Honey (Raw)
handful of Chocolate chips
1 Cup Almonds 

Place all ingredients in the blender, and mix well. Taste and add more vanilla or honey if you'd like. Careful not to add more coconut oil since it melts at room temp, with too much oil, the bars won't be portable. 
Once mixed, the mixture should be moist, if its crumbly, keep mixing to release more oil from the almonds. 
I placed mine into a tupperware container lined with parchment paper or just wrap in parchment and place in the fridge to set. 

 Voila! Yummy, no bake paleo cookie dough:

How to deal with hitting a plateau--stay the course or say Fuck It?

Easier said than done. After 2 years on my fitness journey, I finally reached a breaking point. Yes,I had come face to face with the dreaded wall and found myself firmly stuck on a plateau and seriously questioning my motivation to carry on another day, week, year of grueling workouts. After countless hours in the gym, forcing myself to eat clean, and constantly feeling tired and sore, I was seriously wondering, "Why do I put myself through this?". I wanted to just jump to the after picture already! By this point, I was mentally exhausted, hangry and about to drop off that plateau!!I felt more and more like a hamster spinning my wheel full force to nowhere and I was ready for a break. I started to talk myself out of my workouts and summer fitness plans. I kept thinking, "Do I really give a shit if I’m ‘bikini ready’? Why should I give a damn about having a flat 6 pack??" Oh I was in deep and my mind was trying to talk me out of my all the...

But Ma, I don't wanna run!!

Happy  day after Easter everyone. After a fun filled Sunday brunch, an afternoon run in the park, then mimosas and bbq, I finally learned how to play poker and Gin Rummy. I won't start playing at a casino anytime soon, but I definitely held my own in the game--at least I though so :). I at least had my poker face on the whole time despite my terrible cards.                                                 BBQ                                                          Brunch         Now, lets get motivated! After a great weekend, lets use that momentum to charge our workouts this week, revisit our nutrition goals, and reignite our fitness regimen. Today, I'm focusing on dev...

Move Your Ass Monday

Happy Monday Ladies! If you need an extra push this Monday, here it is. Move. Your. Ass. See, they get it! They already got a head start on their workout for the day. 30 minutes, three times a week. Doesn't matter how you slice it--just get it done however you like and whenever you like. Sure, Zumba counts too ;) So does taking the stairs, walking your dog, doing yoga at your desk during lunch, and parking on the far end of the parking lot. It all counts! I know these things seem small, but it all adds up. Whether you do yard work or dance in the living room after work, (yes I've done that before), just do what you gotta do to get your ass moving! Your level of fitness in totally within your grasp and in your control. Its all on the other side of your own fears and doubt. Are you worried about that other people are doing? Who cares if everyone else is taking the elevator at work? You make your own choices and you have decided to live fit because you want a longer...
