Eating well is Jiu-Jitsu: 3 mouthwatering snacks.

We know that the rush of day-to-day routine prevents us from looking for something different to cook and vary the diet a bit. Sick of those same snacks between meals? It’s time to innovate.

The staff of “Eating well” searched for some easy, practical and tasty options. Enough of eating the same things, tasting those same flavors and chewing that same food. Varying the meals is also an essential part of any diet; after all, no one can “keep doing the same thing, and hope for different results.”

To get started very well, we have this recipe for a protein coconut bar:

Protein Coconut Bar – 4 servings 
Ingredients:
  • 1/4 cup of Cottage Cheese
  • 1/2 cup of Vanilla Casein Protein
  • 4 Tbsp of grated coconut
  • 3 Tbsp of almonds
  • 5 Tbsp of coconut milk
  • 2 Tbsp of coconut flour
  • 40g of Dark Chocolate

  1. Mix all ingredients in a bowl using a hand mixer (except the dark chocolate).
  2. Shape the dough into 4 small rectangles (4 bars).
  3. Melt the chocolate under a “bain marie”/water bath (put it in a glass bowl over a pan filled with hot water until it’s melted).
  4. When finished, dip the bars into the bowl of melted chocolate until they are completely covered.
  5. Place the bars on a tray and place into the freezer.
  6. Leave there for 1 hour or long enough to harden the chocolate.
