DIY chocolate? You made your own chocolate? How?

It's really simple and it takes not more than 20 min
You'll need:
75 gr raw cocoa paste (here you could add also cocoa powder or carob powder)
1 tbsp coconut butter
1 tbsp raw coconut cream
1 tbsp raw honey (or agave syrup)
1-2 tbsp chopped raw nuts (I usually use almonds)
1-2 tbsp dried cranberries, goji berries or other kind if dries fruits
3 dried dates

First, you'll need to grate the cocoa paste and chop the rest of the ingredients. Put everything to melt (together) in hot water (do not use direct heat) and then pur into a flat pan. Leave in the fridge to cool for a couple of hours and then enjoy.

Really simple, really delicious and healthy.

It's been a while since I last logged my activities and food, but that doesn't mean that I stopped doing what I do
It's been a hell of a winter season, relieved that it's over. Went on the most magical journey to Bali. Came back home and now I'm just relaxing and enjoying my summer with lots of good food (and sometimes not so good ), yoga, workouts, beach and snorkelling

So that's it for the past months, now the update for today:

Activities:
morning Vinyasa flow - 45 min
right next to the beach where I go, we have this almost vertical ladder with 138 steps (yes, I've counted them ), so the workout for today was 3 climbs and 3 descends

Food:
4am - I had a peach craving, so I got out of bed and had one
8am - peach
9.30am - a handful of raw almonds mixed with raw cocoa nibs
12pm - watermelon
1.30pm - another 2 peaches
2.30 - melon
3.30 - tofu with raw cashew/zucchini pate; dessert: raw coconut cream with raw honey and carob powder
7pm - melon
later - raw cashews
