Who says snacks or deserts can't be healthy & yummy? This homemade chocolate almond bark is not only delicious but it's nutritious too! Almonds are the nuts highest in calcium, contain protein, fiber, vitamin E, unsaturated fat and other vitamins and minerals. Covering them in cacao chocolate adds important antioxidants and together with the coconut oil which is rich in saturated fats, this easy & quick snack or desert can provide you with a powerful and nutritious energetic boost. Coconut oil is an amazing superfood that containins medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs). These unique fats include Coprylic acid, Lauric acid & Capric acid. MCFAs provide a great source of energy because they can be turned into fuel faster than other fats

About Me
My passion about health started in my teens when I first hand saw the effects of how illness can wreck havoc in a family growing up with parents who had serious health issues. I too struggled with losing weight & developed an eating disorder that I was able to heal by educating myself on healthier habits. Itās amazing what our bodies can do when we learn to take care of them like God intended. These experiences & challenges fueled my passion to be a life long student in pursuit of learning how to create healthier lifestyles where one can thrive at their optimal best. As a mother of 3 children & a wife of a traveling husband, I quickly learned how to implement healthy habits on the go so that I could be my healthy best for my family. This has evolved into my health coaching business Thriving With Health where I coach people to integrate simple & fun healthy 'bitesā throughout their day even on their most busiest & challenging ones. You are never too busy to take care of your health & I can show you how. Everyone has busy lifestyles and living at their optimum best is not only doable but can be fun as well!
