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 for your fitness goals, I have made a list of my shopping guides 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.
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?
