So, the next best thing is to find a substitute for something sweet that doesn't have all the unnecessary refined sugar to create that sweetness.
Enter >>> these Shakeology bites!!
That's right!

I've made these before, with great success, so I picked up some dates the other day at Winco. (P.S. it's taken me two years of living here to make it into Winco and I don't know why I haven't gone before...they have the best price on raw almonds and almond butter...and a slue of other items in bulk ;) )
But, I digress...
So, these are super yummy and super "kid-approved"...they pretty much disappear after 10 minutes, if I'm not fast at hiding them in the fridge.
**ope...i just got a craving to have one ha!**
I use my too-small-but-still-works food processor, to make these. The regular blender wasn't such a hit. And those of you with those fancy blenders like a Vitamix or other cool one (that I wish I had) will probably get away with it.
Super easy to make:10-12 dates
1/2 c. almonds
1/4 cup of shredded, unsweetened coconut flakes
1-2 TPSP Chocolate Shakeology (OR you can use 1-2 tsp cocoa powder)
*mulch*
Add about 1/8 tsp water, as necessary (careful not to add too much so it doesn't get too sticky)
Add a dash of sea salt, and mulch for 2 seconds longer
Mold into balls and dig in!!
I'm telling you... you won't be disappointed. ;)
Just be sure they are handy for you if you are tempted to indulge in something less healthy.
