I cannot believe it is already March! We are three months into the year and I am feeling super excited for Spring weather so I can shed my coat, gloves, and scarf when I go on my daily walk! That’s right, you read correctly, I am a daily walker! I feel refreshed and love to challenge myself by increasing my daily steps on my pedometer! The best part about maintaining my 2016 fitness goals is the satisfaction of a reward after an hour walk! Knowing I can have a reward of some of my favorite foods drives me to keep my fitness goals! The idea of a yummy reward sparked a recipe for Frozen Vanilla Coconut Yogurt Bark made with DOVE® Chocolate Fruit & Nut!
I was in Walmart with my daughter and I saw DOVE® Chocolate Fruit & Nut and my wheels started turning! I have a deep, I mean deep love of fruit and nuts dipped in chocolate. When I saw these fruits and nuts were covered in dark chocolate, I thought immediately of my family doctor. He approves and supports the benefits of eating dark chocolate! Lets just say I hug him regularly and I had to hold myself back from doing a tap dance in the aisle when I saw dark chocolate, fruit, and nuts! These yummy snacks come in some wonderful flavors:
DOVE® Dark Chocolate Strawberry & Cocoa Almond
DOVE® Dark Chocolate Blueberry & Vanilla Cashew
DOVE® Dark Chocolate Raspberry & Honey Roasted Almond
DOVE® Dark Chocolate Cranberries
DOVE® Dark Chocolate Blueberries
DOVE® Dark Chocolate Cherries
DOVE® Roasted Almonds covered in Milk Chocolate
DOVE® Roasted Almonds covered in Dark Chocolate
When I want a snack, especially after I exercise, I love a cold snack. I love yogurt and if it is frozen, even better! So I combined a few of my favorite things, vanilla yogurt, shredded coconut,coconut extract and I chose DOVE® Dark Chocolate Raspberry & Honey Roasted Almond, DOVE® Dark Chocolate Strawberry & Cocoa Almond, and DOVE® Dark Chocolate Blueberries.
It takes about 5 minutes to combine the ingredients, line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and spread the yogurt bark ingredients onto the cookie sheet. The hardest part is waiting for the yogurt bark to freeze!
This is just a delicious snack that my whole family loves! Once it is frozen, I brake it up into smaller pieces and place the frozen bark into a freezer bag to keep in the freezer. These babies didn’t last long, yummo!
To help stay on track of your fitness goals, I have made a list of my shopping guide that I use to go shopping. I have attached it here Shopping List! I hope this inspires you to keep on track of your fitness goals at the grocery store or get back on the track to help in making better choices as you shop!
Another great thing on this lovely Monday morning. You can get a $1 dollar coupon for DOVE® Chocolate Fruit & Nut which can be purchased at Walmart!
How you are staying on track with your wellness goals for this year?
