Today I am excited to have Megan from over at Renewing All Things sharing one of her amazingly delicious recipes.  I stumbled onto her Facebook page a while back and was really inspire by her simple and practical approach to health.  And I love all of her info on natural skincare!  Be sure to check her out on Facebook,  Twitter, Pinterest , and  Instagram as well. 

Hi, everyone!  Megan here from Renewing All Things.  Good to be here.

This chocolate coconut oil nut bar is the perfect snack, dessert, or side. Full of metabolism boosting and brain fueling coconut oil, enzyme rich honey, antioxidant rich cacao powder, and nuts and seeds full of minerals, fiber, and protein to fuel your body and support healthy skin. These will satisfy sugar cravings, and take the place of processed protein or candy bars.

Notes:

  • Add more/less honey depending on how sweet you like your nut bar.
  • Use any combination of any nuts/seeds you like.
  • You can add less nuts of you want more of a chocolate bar.
  • Add more coconut oil or a tad bit of coconut milk if you need more liquid to fill the size of pan you are using.

    From the photo, it’s pretty obvious that the nuts weren’t mixed with the chocolate /coconut oil mixture before being spread in the pan. Did you just spread the chocolate/coconut oil mix in the pan and sprinkle the nuts on top?

      The nuts are actually folded into the mixture before spreading into the pan. You can give the pan a little jiggle to help the nuts rise to the surface a bit more. Thanks for stopping by!

      Hi, Kari! If you are on the Candida diet, these bars may not be for you right now. You could definitely make them without sweetener, but they may not taste the way you would like them to. Good for you for taking the time to work on your health. Your body will thank you. 🙂

    So I tried out the recipe and love the flavour but I have a problem with the chocolate melting very quickly and turning liquid. Is there anything I can do to stop this?

      Hi, Katie! Do you mean the bars melt quickly when you are eating them? Yes, coconut oil melts at around 76″F. So I keep these in the fridge on warm days. If you want them to be more temperature stable, you could try coconut butter instead of coconut oil. Thicker and will not melt as fast. Hope that helps. 🙂

    This is very good, thank you. Next time I make this, I’ll increase the recipe by 50% to better fill a 9×13 pan — too thin when fully spread out.

💧💧DRAINAGE IS ESSENTIAL • 3 easy things yo 💧💧DRAINAGE IS ESSENTIAL • 3 easy things you can do to get things flowing 💧💧

1️⃣ HYDRATION 💧💧💧• drink half your body weight in ounces every day • start the day with 32 ounces of clean water in the first 1-2 hours that you’re awake • drink clean, filtered water • tap water can be loaded with heavy metals, pesticides, + pharmaceuticals 😵• water makes up 60 percent of our total body weight + 90 percent of brain weight 🧠• adequate water intake is essential for the body to function properly • water delivers important nutrients to all of our cells, especially muscle cells (energy!!), helps to move the digestive process along through the system,  helps with constipation, moves toxins through the body faster, and optimizes kidney function (detox!) • without adequate water, toxins can’t be excreted + then can build up in the body 

2️⃣ BOWEL MOMENTS 💩💩 • aim for 1-2 good-sized bowel movements per day (think at least banana-sized 🍌) without feeling the need to strain or feeling of incomplete evacuation afterwards • if the food that we eat is not traveling through the body fast enough, it will sit in the bowels + ferment/rot and the toxins get reabsorbed into the body 😩+ can cause abdominal pain, bloating, + gas 💨• prioritize hydration to keep food moving + eat plenty of fiber to speed up digestion • avoid inflammatory foods • take magnesium to help things keep flowing • practice enemas to hydrate colon + to increase peristalsis • get a professional colonic to hydrate, tone, + clean large intestine • keep things flowing out • better out than in 😉

3️⃣ MOVEMENT 🤸🏽‍♀️🏃‍♀️💃🏻🚴🏽‍♂️• move your body every day • walk, run, jump, dance, ride a bike • take 2 minute movement tbreaks throughout the day • the lymphatic system is one of our main waste removal systems + relies on skeletal muscle contractions to keep flowing • prioritize exercise + walking • hot Epsom salt baths stimulate circulation, improve lymphatic drainage + promote sweating 🛁🛁• sweating in a sauna stimulates the lymphatic system to release excess water + toxins 💦💦
