MISSION
Ever heard Alicia Keys song, "SuperWoman"? Well, it's one of my absolute favorites and I was going to post the video for you today, but realized the men reading this blog may be a bit left out. The message can be applied to everyone. The point of the song and today's mission is the same, you are SUPER!
Everything you've done thus far is amazing. You are working hard, reading my sometimes overly wordy blogs. You are making good food choices everyday. When you slip, you catch yourself before you fall and you are trying new exercises and foods everyday. If you're not feeling those results for yourself, let me remind you. You are a SuperYou and I am so proud!
We are almost at the end of our challenge, and we've covered all the basics. So, for the next few days, I'll be sharing natures Super Foods with you to add as snacks or treats to your already close to perfect diet! Can you guess which super food is pictured below??
TODAY'S HEALTH TIP: SUPER FOODS!
Oh, how I wish I had one of those trees in my backyard. Of course, that would mean I was living in an extremely hot jungle, but I could live with it! If you don't recognize the above tree, let me give you a hint....
Inside it contains the highest antioxidant content of any food on the planet!! It has tons of anandamides (nature's 'bliss' chemicals) causing euphoric sensations and decreasing feelings of depression.
Not to mention, it is absolutely delicious!! Guessed yet?? That's right CACAO!! Otherwise known as chocolate!! Eating small amounts of pure dark chocolate everyday is actually good for you!! Am I your best friend yet??
TODAY'S RECIPE
HOT COCOA HOMEMADE
3 1/2 cups sugar
2 1/4 cups cocoa
1 tablespoon table salt
*Fat Free Half/Half for serving
DIRECTIONS
STEP 1
In a large bowl, combine sugar, cocoa, and salt, and whisk to combine well. Store the mixture in an airtight container.
STEP 2
For individual servings, pour 1 cup whole milk into a microwave-safe mug, and microwave on high just until hot. Add 2 tablespoons of cocoa mix, and stir to dissolve. For a larger batch of cocoa, warm the milk in a saucepan set over medium-low heat, taking care not to let the milk boil; as it warms, stir in 2 tablespoons of mix for each cup of milk.
TODAY'S YOGA TIP: SUPER YOGA
Ha, is the picture above not absolutely great?? I thought I was an old-timer picking up a young, hot workout! I change my quote from the other day to "If she can do, you can do it!"
