Yumo!

I enrolled one of my fabulous clients & friends to bake for me for the Women's Only Paleo Bake Sale today. The pic above is only a glimpse of what she made. No icing or coconut flakes were added quite yet to the big cupcakes.

The baked goods consisted of "Reese's" Chocolate Cupcakes and Vanilla Cupcakes. The "Reese's" Chocolate Cupcakes were her own creation made with almond butter, coconut flour, & almond flour. The frosting for both cupcakes included a mix of almond butter, agave, and cacao bliss. AMAZZZZZZZZZZING!

Like I told one of my athletes today, even though it's a clean dessert, it is still a DESSERT. Consume goodies similar to this sparingly but enjoy every single bite. It's a treat, not a cheat.

All proceeds for the bake sale go to the Habitat for Humanity Fitness Challenge

Goddess

I was perusing around People's Rx yesterday and came across this yummy brand of snacks called, New Earth Super Conscious Living. They are a local company here in Austin. The product pictured above caught my eye because the word, "Goddess," was on the label, and the marketing stated-- Nourish your heart, Sweeten your life, Feed your INNER GODDESS!!!

For those of you who know me, I use the word Goddess quite often so naturally I was intrigued. Moving on....

I am not a huge dessert person; however, the next time I have a sugar craving I am buying Chocolate Goddess Clusters. A dessert made with raw chocolate and coconut chips. New Earth has quite a few other products. Check it out. Looks like they will be getting my business before my trip to LA for the CrossFit Games.

If you've tried the product, let me know. The staff and purpose of this company seem really solid.
