\"Sugar<\/p>\n

During the week I try to stay away from sugar, but that doesn\u2019t mean I stay away from desserts. Skipping out on chocolate is not Charissa style.<\/p>\n

The other day I made a chocolate dipping sauce for some fresh strawberries. I love this because it\u2019s a delicious, sweet dessert AND it\u2019s packed full of antioxidants.<\/p>\n

\"Sugar<\/p>\n

The chocolate sauce has coconut oil in it\u2026this is what makes the chocolate harden like that yummy Magic Shell stuff. I love the crunchy shell on the fruit\u2026next time I\u2019m going to dip banana chunks in it!<\/p>\n

Sugar-Free Chocolate Covered Strawberries<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. 1\/8 cup coconut oil<\/li>\n
  2. 1 tbsp. cocoa<\/li>\n
  3. 4-5 packets Truvia<\/a>*<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    *You could also use organic sugar<\/p>\n

    Melt the coconut oil. Add the Truvia and cocoa on very low heat until the Truvia crystals are completely dissolved. Spoon the sauce over the strawberries and let harden in the fridge. This makes enough for about a dozen strawberries, depending on their size. You can add more or less cocoa depending on how dark you like it. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

    Health Magazines<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

    Ever since I started pinching my pennies (as I save for my schooling) I\u2019ve stopped buying magazines. I love health, running, fitness magazines with great recipes and fitness routines. I find they’re great for that extra motivation\/inspiration to keep on with my healthy lifestyle.<\/p>\n

    Thankfully, during this health magazine famine, I am still getting one of my favourites!<\/p>\n

    \"Clean<\/p>\n

    My sister gave me a subscription to Clean Eating<\/a> it ages ago and I\u2019m still enjoying it. Clean Eating has the best recipes\u2026not one of them has ever failed me!<\/p>\n
