Relevant! Don’t just go by the title of ‘Organic’ or ‘Natural’  without checking the ingredients! So many laughs at corn syrup being ‘natural’ though.

Reasons to use Dates instead of Stevia/Sucanat/Agave

I am a no honey, no sugar, no cane juice, no stevia/sucanat/agave, if it comes in a jar and not from dirt I don’t eat it kind of all natural gal. 

ORGANIC CHOCOLATE HAZELNUT SPREAD

2 cups hazelnuts*
1/3 cup unsweetened organic cocoa
2 teaspoons vanilla
8-10 pitted Medjool dates
1 cup + 2 tablespoons coconut milk (no cans)**

Blend hazelnuts into completely smooth butter in food processor. Add the rest in and blend until consistency desired. Add more dates if runny, add 1 T of milk at a time if too thick. Should reach spread consistency and retain it, even when cold.

Enjoy! This is your healthy no sugar, raw Nutella alternative. 

*You can use 2 cups of Brazilian nuts as a substitute for similar flavoring

ZOMBIE, RUN!

Completed a 4 mile jog while being entertained by ducking and zigzagging through neighborhoods using the Zombie, Run! app. Free on Android.

It gives you a better workout than just calmly jogging along to music on your usual trail. Mainly because you have to veer a bit if you want to survive. Of course, people do give you odd looks as you and your running partner pass by them saying, “THE ZOMBIES ARE RIGHT ON TOP OF US, RUN!!” All part of the fun.
