The One & Only: Lily's Coconut Chocolate Bar

Oh my _______ (complete the sentence with your imagination). I just found the best thing to hit this planet...or at least for the chocolate lovers and sugar avoiders of the world. So, I was having this insane chocolate craving the other night, which is kind of out of character, and I ignored it and traded it for a greek yogurt with berries instead. BAD MOVE. Anyways, lucky me, I went out to dinner with an old friend and she introduced me to a new wonderful friend: Lily's Sweets Chocolate. Specifically, the coconut bar. This thing is FANTASTIC, is sweetened with stevia (yes, that means low/no sugar), has a short ingredient list, and, most importantly, does absolute wonders on the taste buds. I can proudly say that I satisfied my craving, exceeded my mind's expectations of what that would be like, and will be Lily's number one fan so long as I love chocolate. So for always. Here's to catching up with old friends!

{I got it at Whole Foods...I am sure any larger natural food market will have them!}

If you lead a busy lifestyle, if you care about how you look and feel, and if you want to eat like royalty every night, look no further than Plated.

This TechStars born startup is on the rise: they currently serve the Northeast and Midwest with hopes to expand even further. I know i'm thrilled to finally come back to some homemade goodness after a long day in the office, so if you're in the same boat go ahead, try it out with me...I dare you.

Use this link:

Now, I better go grab my yummy kale and salmon salad from the fridge...happy lunch time : )
