Hi chocolate chips!
I’m Katie, author of the blog: Chocolate-Covered Katie, also known as the
"Healthy Dessert" Blog. On my site, I take traditionally
bad-for-you recipes (think Chocolate Bar Pie) and give them a
healthy spin, showing that eating healthy can be
delicious.
Today, I'm sharing one of my favorite desserts. Try it
and you'll be shocked at how something so healthy
can taste so incredible!

important is staying hydrated? Well, 75% of your body’s weight is
made up of water. Lean muscle tissue is made up of about

the hot months of summer.

a plant-based (vegan) diet is the nation's fastest-growing food
trend, and for good reason. The more vegan meals we eat, the more
benefits we will feel and bestow. Whenever someone asks me why I
follow a plant-based diet, I reply, "For my health, my pocketbook,
the animals, the environment and humanity."
1. Your HealthVegan meals have 0 cholesterol (cholesterol only exists in animal
products like meat, eggs, fish and dairy, there is no cholesterol
in plant foods), which is great news for...

Yikes! Here we sit on the brink of the hectic

and not think is going to affect how much “happy” goes into your
Happy Holidays. Here are 3 tips to help you enjoy the season:
-
Acknowledge that everything doesn’t have to be
magazine- or TV-show-perfect. Leave the ornate

“blah” sort of days…feeling run down, low on energy and just plain
irritable. So what can you do?
Embrace winter –
Sounds counter-intuitive perhaps, but find something good about
this time of year that you can enjoy. Try a new winter sport or

A good, natural cleanse is a realignment
with what’s healthy in life—a healthy diet, a chance to slow down a
bit from our too fast, overly-processed lifestyle (or after times
of overindulgence, such as the holiday season). There are some
misconceptions about cleanses, though … and we’re debunking them
right here!
Myth #1: A cleanse

to your diet. All you have to give up is the stuff you probably
know isn’t good for you...
