Literally, a kid in a candy store. My kid.
Hi. My name is Luciana, and I’m a sugar addict. I’m okay admitting it. I love sugar. I love chocolate. I love cookies and cakes and buttercream frosting…I’m killing you, aren’t I?
Hi. My name is Luciana, and I’m a runner. I’m okay admitting it. I love getting up before the sun and hearing my own heartbeat, feeling my muscles warm up, and pushing myself further each day. I love doing what others are afraid to do. I love going out thinking “Man, I could use another hour of sleep”, and coming back an hour later with one of my best runs. I love buying new running shoes and trying out the newest workouts and gadgets. I love registering for races. I love the after-race huddle with friends and family. I love getting lost on long runs, and at the same time finding new paths.
Turns out, I love running more than sugar. Huh…who knew?
The Dark Side
(a good substitute for your sweet tooth moment)
1/2 C Honey
1 C Cacao Powder
1 T Vanilla
1/2 C Melted Coconut Oil
1/2 C Raw Coconut Flakes
1/4 C Coconut Flour
You can add ANYTHING to this your little heart desires. How about some toasted hazelnuts or pecans? Oats? Puffed Rice Cereal? Add more or less honey depending on your preference. Roll into little balls or cut into squares.
The more organic and natural you can make it, the better it will treat your body.
On a side note, these are awesome frozen little treats too.
Happy Running – Happy Eating!
