It's that time of year again! Is anyone else struggling with temptation? I'm surrounded by goodies everywhere I go, and chocolate is my weakness. I'm trying really hard to stay on track this year. I'm being realistic- I'm not trying to lose weight, but I am being mindful of what I put in my body. I don't want to go through the holidays feeling cranky and sluggish. What would that do for my 5 children?!
I'm so thankful for recipes like this. Team Beachbody gives up so many great recipes, tips for staying on track, and motivation. I found this recipe and knew I had to share! Hope you enjoy!
