No Bake Chocolate Nut Bars

People think that eating low carb is hard to do and think you have to give up all tasty treats.
That is definitely not the case especially if you know how to make these scrumptious bars.
They are a sweet treat and loaded with healthy fats that keep you satisfied for a longer period of time. I made these a few different ways, but the recipe below is so far my favorite!

You will need:
2 cups unblanched almond meal
1/2 cup flaxseed meal
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1/4 cup just like sugar
1 cup of melted butter
1 cup sunflower butter (or almond butter)

Chocolate topping:
1 tsp coconut oil
1/2 cup dark chocolate I use 86% cocoa (feel free to add a thicker layer)

Mix the dry ingredients together in a big bowl
Add in the melted butter and sunflower butter stir it up until evenly distributed
Spread mixture into 9 x 13 pan (or a smaller pan for thicker bars)

Then melt the coconut oil and chocolate together in a bowl and layer on top bars.

Refrigerate for about an hour or until chocolate is hardened. Cut into squares and enjoy!
 




Keep bars in the refrigerator for best consistency. Bars will soften when left in room temperature. I also sprinkled some shredded coconut on the top before the chocolate hardened!

Meatza

Low Carb High Fat - Meatza This is a great tasting pizza alternative for people on a low carb - high fat diet. It tastes amazing and is super easy to make. I adapted this recipe after looking through a few different ones on different blogs and recipe sites. I like simple and quick because I don't always have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen and usually when I'm hungry I want food ASAP, so the quicker the better. You will need: sweet italian pork sausage about 1 pound fresh grated parmesan cheese 1/2 cup 1 large egg Italian spice blend  pizza sauce (without high fructose corn syrup and low carb) grated organic sharp cheddar cheese (or cheese topping of choice) green peppers black olives onion mushroom (and any other topping you choose to add)  Crust: Preheat the oven to 375° F Mix the Italian sausage, egg and parmesan cheese together in a bowl, then spread thinly and evenly on a 13x9 cookie sheet or baking dish with edges to hold t

Our first official photo shoot for Shark's Bites of Life

Behind the scenes video: Apparel and video editing by Shark's Bites of Life   Photographer Jenna Mahr Music by  Heroes of Heartache  - "Tonight" An experience to go down in history for Shark's Bites of Life lifestyle apparel ! I visited my hometown in Minnesota for a friend's wedding and set up a photo shoot for Shark's Bites of Life during my stay. My cousin's girlfriend is an amazing photographer and lives in Saint Paul, MN so it was the perfect opportunity for a professional photo shoot. I had nothing planned for it due to the last minute scheduling. I just knew I wanted to bring as many items of clothing that I could fit into my suitcase even though it meant it was 5 pounds over the weight limit. The evening prior I gathered family and friends to use as my models then began piecing outfits together on my parents' living room floor. The next morning we all met on site and got to business. This was my first time meeting Jenna, she had

Peddler's Son Produce

I have been so excited for this trip to Peddler's Son Produce all week! One of our friends who also trains with my man, owns a produce distribution center in Phoenix, Arizona. He invited us to come check it out sometime, and we jumped at the opportunity. So here we are Saturday morning!  The warehouse was huge, and full of color, a photographers dream! Not only do they supply high end grocery stores like AJ's, but they also supply many of the restaurants in the area. They are also looking to expand within the year to a warehouse that is 3 times the size of the current one.  Ready for the tour!!!!!! When the bananas get over ripened they are sold at discount to smoothie venders where an over ripe banana is just what they need.   I love pineapple, yep I took one of these home with me! They had one cooler just for mushrooms... I didn't realize there were so many different kinds, shapes and names, and not to mention some of the
