You can still have your treat while increasing your omega-3’s and protein intake. A
great example of this pairing is found in organic trail mixes – M&M’s mixed with nuts and dried fruit offer a deliciously balanced snack.

A traditional treat for Valentine’s Day is chocolate bark. Take a look at how you can
add your own twist and increase the nutritional value of this romantic treat for your

glass bowl.
2. Pour the chocolate onto a parchment paper-covered sheet pan. Spread it
