Bark, Bytes & a Bonus

After falling hard for THIS DATE RECIPE, I wanted to whip up a variation because I cannot get enough of a good ‘ol date—rich in fiber, antioxidants, and vitamin B—they not only help me hit my CARB goals, but man do they cure my sweet tooth.  Ok so let’s get to the bark…it so dang simple my friends.  Simply line a baking sheet with parchment paper, open up your dates, and smoosh sticky side down…..you essentially want to create one big fat date!   Then I melted my nut butter and added my favorite PROTEIN POWDER.  Spred that over your smooshed dates and melt your chocolate with coconut oil (you can do dark, cacao nibs, etc) and spread a layer over the peanut butter.  Finish with some salt flakes, set in the freezer, and voila…..you are READY to devour….which I have no doubts you will!!   I just break mine apart like you would Christmas peppermint bark….I loosely calculated the macros based on my personal portions and one serving has approximately 68 grams of Carbs (told ya they help hit that carb goal), 7 grams of Fiber, 15 grams of fat (hello nut butter), and 10 grams of Protein.  

Sorta Kinda switching gears but not really because we’re still chatting health and wellness, I’ve created a fun little 30 day step challenge for my VIP FASTer Way group and I wanted to invite y’all to join in on the fun.  Please see my pdf below which has some fun step starters along with our 10,000 a day step challenge.  This is just one of the many activities we do in the FASTer Way to keep our hearts, minds, and bods healthy……If you’re looking to join in on the fun, I’m coaching My Next Round on April 21st—would love to have you partake!  And BONUS, use code BETH20 for $20 off!
