Eating healthy food is important when living a healthy lifestyle. One of the best a healthy diet tips is to make your own recipes so you know exactly what is going into your body!
To help you kickstart that process I wanted to share my recipe for healthy chocolate coconut bars. These bars are so easy to make and require minimal ingredients and equipment! Plus, if you love coconut, you are in for a real treat.
Not only is coconut delicious but there are also lots of health benefits for coconut oil – preventing both heart disease and high blood pressure – as well as boosting the immune system.
You can eat these bars as a quick snack at any time of the day!
