Treat

Apparently I'm on a kick for making treats lately! I made these chocolates with just a few ingredients: dark chocolate, unsweetened coconut, coconut cream, maple syrup, peppermint extract, and a little spirulina for that green colour. When I see things like this, I always think they must be way too difficult to make myself, so I was pleasantly surprised by how easy these were and how well they turned out!

First, I threw the shredded coconut in the blender to make it a finer texture. Then I mixed it with a little coconut cream and maple syrup before adding in the peppermint extract and spirulina. I scooped it out by tablespoonfuls and formed into patties. I put them on a tray in the freezer for about 15 minutes, and then coated in melted chocolate and put them back in the freezer.

Here is the recipe I followed: No-Bake Mint Chip Patties (vegan, paleo, sugar-free option!)...

I was craving a sweet treat, so decided to make something special for myself. I took 2 cups of sliced strawberries from the freezer and defrosted them. I sprinkled them with a little sugar and left in the fridge overnight to bring out the juices. Then I puréed the strawberries and strained the purée to remove seeds (I used the seeds and pulp as an accompaniment for yogurt later). I mixed the purée with 3 cups of oat and coconut milk and a sprinkle of salt. For an added luxury, I melted some white chocolate and stirred it in!

P.S. I tried to post this in Nourishment Bistro, but kept getting an error message that the group didn't exist.

Massage chairs are the best. While I was in the mall thought I would do a quick one. Was it close to an in person massage.? No, but it scored pretty high to me. 8/10 🌟 Plus it was nicely priced. $5 for 15 minutes.

My monthly Treat has arrived and I didn't even know it was coming I'm that forgetful 🤷‍♀️

It's a PJ's box that comes once every 2 months full of self care products as well.

I'm happy it has my favourite Pillow Spray sweet dreams.
I've never tried this one but I love essential oils and I use them to help me sleep or at least try to 😁lavender and chamomile. Mm mm
I use the creams and other sprays I've had in other care boxes
Its lovely to get surprises to unwrap. .
It reminds me to look after myself better and the products I wouldn't buy in a shop.
Its nice to try new things, treat yourself sometimes. Love yourself.
