This month the Rising Sirens have been hard at work on a new veil choreography with the fabulous instructor, choreographer, and performer Dalia Carella. To celebrate our hard work, I brought in some chocolate coconut macaroons to rehearsal last night. The girls loved them, and we had a chance for a little sweet break before getting back to the choreography.
A few ladies told me my macaroons were dangerously good, but I assured them they’re actually very healthy. As a nutrition blogger and health coach, I wouldn’t have it any other way. My macaroons contain two superfoods: raw chocolate and coconut. Superfoods are some of the healthiest foods on Earth! They are “a class of the most potent, super-concentrated, and nutrient rich foods on the planet…[they] are the optimum choice for improving overall health, boosting the immune system, elevating serotonin production, enhancing sexuality, and cleansing and alkalizing the body.” (Ref: David Wolfe, Superfoods, 2009, p. 3) Cool, huh?
These chocolately treats are also dairy-free and raw. The chocolate gives you a big boost of energy and the nuts and coconut make them a filling snack. Here’s a link to my blog post for the recipe. It only takes 10 minutes to make!

They were SO DELICIOUS! And despite having the most strange allergy to coconuts, I am happy to announce, I was fine after eating this! I LOVED IT!
