Recently, many articles for healthy living have been appearing on the
Internet. The one that caught my eyes and makes sense to me, which is that
genetics is the basis for giving us longevity. However, our behavior towards
life includes the intake of food and a healthy lifestyle can make a big difference
for us. Many people say that they would rather eat something that tastes good
instead of a healthier choice with less pleasing taste. Also, kids and even
adults seldom like to include fruits and vegetables in their diet. It is a big
mistake for parents not to train their kids from infancy to like vegetables.
Most of the snacks in the market are loaded with unhealthy preservatives and
sugar. I agree that if we can have good tasting, healthy food, then why bother stuffing
unhealthy food into your body. It is similar to putting bad oil in to our
vehicle and hoping it will run well. God created our body with all the
necessary tools to have good health long before medical science and technology tries
to help us when we got sick. Even though scientific advancements have given us
so many good things, but our lives are now packed with more diseases than ever.
If we can approach life with a balanced diet and pray more to God so that our spirits
are always fresh and calm, I believe it is a better way to live. Anyone who
wants to enjoy a healthy snack in the afternoon with a cup of coffee or tea
will be rewarded for having prepared my newly created snack.
Ingredients:
1 cup flaxseed powder
1 cup oatmeal powder
3 cups chocolate chips
1/4 cup black sesame seeds
1 cup chopped roasted mixed nuts (
Kirkland
brand)
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup coconut oil
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°. Place the flaxseed powder, oatmeal powder, and sesame seeds
on a large baking tray. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove.
At the same time, fill a pot with 1 cup of water and bring to a barely
simmer. Place coconut oil, honey, and chocolate chips into a bowl. Put the bowl
with the chocolate mixture over the simmering pot of water and stir to melt the
coconut oil and chocolate.
Pour the tray of the roasted flaxseed/oatmeal/nuts mixture into a bowl with
the melted chocolate mixture and stir well.
Use another tray lined with parchment paper. Form the chocolate-flaxseed
mixture into balls about a half size of a golf ball. After finishing, place the
tray in a refrigerator until chilled. Place into a glass jar with lid. Enjoy.
