Joyful Energy Bites with the Mindful Snacker

In an effort to keep moving in the direction of editing and cleaning up all areas of my life, I collaborated with The Mindful Snacker from the Upper West side. The MS, or Daniella, is so sweet and was brimming with excellent ways for how to snack responsibly. Never sacrificing taste or texture, Daniella presented my pantry with an astonishing array of chips, cauliflower pretzels, roasted chickpeas, cake mixes, and crackers made from guilt free, super pristine ingredients. Sometimes you really just need to munch on stuff like this, and when we don’t have the right options in front of us, we will pick at the wrong things. This will always lead to self loathing, and in 2018 that is entirely avoidable. There are so many wonderful products on the market and the overload of information can feel overwhelming.

The Mindful Snacker gave my pantry a complete makeover, streamlining all my family and I need to know about quality, healthy snacks. There are ingenious ways to sneak veggies into snacking. This was just knowledge I was unaware of, but I’m always ready to learn. Daniella was the perfect person to educate me on how to better take care of my body. I don’t have to cut out snacks, I just can choose the right ones. One of the highlights of this lovely visit was Daniella’s homemade energy bites. Rich, nutty, chocolatey bites that I stored in the freezer and noshed as needed. I need chocolate and nuts every day. These super packed, delicious treats satisfied my craving. I’m thrilled to share her recipe with you, as she was generous enough to spread her nutritional love with the Lady Blaga foodies. Daniella has tons of tricks up her sleeve for healthy, happy eating. Bite beautifully! 🥜
