Satisfy that Sweet Tooth!

Maybe you feel like we're always telling you to be healthy, eat for your skin and avoid those empty calories. We consistently tell you to rid yourself of those bad habits. Seems like we're taking the fun out of everything, huh? Well, maybe not-- healthy recipes and recipes that promote good health don't have to be bland oatmeal or a plain salad. There is one of my favorite yummy recipes that is truly good for overall health (and that means skin, too!)

Dark Chocolate Dipped Trio
What you need--
  • 12 Strawberries-A fruit jam-packed with antioxidants which help fight aging
  • 1 bar of Dark chocolate- Is rich in flavanoids which improves the skin texture and can reduce reddened skin
  • 12 Walnuts, chopped- This good-for-you fat help your skin look smoother, plumper, and more hydrated
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Melt the chocolate completely, and stir. Holding the stem of the strawberry, dip each one onto the melted chocolate and place it on the baking sheet. Sprinkle the chopped walnuts onto the strawberries before the chocolate dries. Repeat for all 12 of the strawberries, evenly distributing the chopped walnuts on the strawberries. When completed, place the baking sheet with the strawberries in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before serving. 

The recipe makes 12 strawberries- enjoy as a dessert, a snack, or as a healthy way to cure your sweet tooth! Remember: eat in moderation to be sure you get benefits before they backfire on you!
