Coconut Heaven Energy Balls
Coconut Heaven Energy Bites. They REALLY are a little bit of heaven!! They are super healthy, full of coconut and coconut oil, with healthy fats, vitamins and minerals, dietary fiber, and protein. These make a wonderful high healthy fat snack! Anyone else LOVE coconut??
Ingredients
⅔ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 ½ tsp. non-dairy milk (I used almond milk)
2 Tbsp. coconut butter
1 Tbsp. virgin coconut oil
1 Tbsp. agave nectar or raw honey
Instructions
Mix the almond milk and shredded coconut to moisten the coconut a little. The texture will be a bit crumbly, do not use more milk, or the truffles will get soggy! Then add the agave nectar and mix.
Put the coconut butter and coconut oil in a little bowl and soften in a hot water-bath; or if you are lucky and have a microwave, just warm it up in there.
Warming the mixture is enough. Really heating the coconut butter would lessen it´s nutritional value.
Then simply mix with the shredded-coconut-mixture and form into bite sized balls. And you are done!

My 3 Day Refresh Review, Results and Meal Plan
Here it is!! So when I was down in Vegas my team challenged me to this 3 Day Detox that got launched. When we went to Vegas I seriously stopped at nothing lol, I drank mojitos and slushie drinks, I ate food court, pasta and pizza and I really didn't sleep much! I NEEDED a good cleaning after all the "fun stuff" lol
While we were there we launched a BRAND NEW DETOX PROGRAM!!! The **3 Day Refresh** This is NOT a juice cleanse, not a starvation diet, not a crazy soup/lemon/cayenne thing....I ATE REAL FOOD! If you want to keep your metabolism HIGH and burning fat, you NEED food! I ate a variety of fruits, veggies and healthy fats along with protein shakes, shakeology and a fiber drink...EASY. The cool thing about this detox is its not only riding the body of harmful TOXINS and releasing the fat cells BUT its teaching you how to EAT. It teaches you how to feed your body and YES I will be adding the recipes to our regular meal plans.
I got a bit of a headache Day 1, this is normal when detoxing. A cool cloth on the back of my neck really helped. Day 2 was a breeze, I even did a bit of PiYo and felt amazing. Day 3 I was a little tired and started to get pretty hungry but I was REALLY excited to see my results!
So here they are!
I lost 5 pounds and 3.5 inches! I feel more focused, my digestion is better, my bloat is gone and I am sleeping amazing!
Here is the results for the other 2 coaches...

Sesame Lime Chicken Kabobs with Spicy Peanut Sauce
When I think of Summer meals, I think BBQ! These chicken kabobs are super easy and Delicious! I LOVE playing around with clean eating Asian Cuisine and these kabobs are the perfect fit for a light and tangy summer night dinner.
Sesame Lime Chicken Kabobs with Spicy Peanut SauceIngredients
- 2lbs. chicken breast, cut into cubes
- 4 garlic cloves peeled & crushed
- ½ cup Bragg's Aminos
- ¼ cup rice wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons raw honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger root, peeled and grated
- 4 medium green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 4-6 sprigs fresh cilantro, garnish.
- ½ lime, juiced (other ½ quartered and reserved for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
Directions
Marinade:
Combine the Braggs, garlic, vinegar, honey, ginger, onions, lime juice, sesame oil and sesame seeds to make a marinade. Pour marinade into Ziplock bag, add chicken and mix around so that all pieces of the chicken are covered in the marinade. Set in the fridge for at least 1-2 hours
Soak your skewers for at least 30 minutes!
Place chicken skewers on grill over medium heat. Cover grill and cook 3 minutes, then turn over the kabob and cook another 3 minutes. At this point check the chicken. To know if the chicken is done the juices should be clear and the center of thickest part is cut (170°F). If not done, continue to cook, at this point I leave the lid open and just turn the kabobs so they are cooked evenly on both sides. My chicken takes about 8-10 minutes. Remove from grill and serve immediately. Or cover with foil and serve later.
