The perfect dessert: Shaved chocolate a l’Orange

    Oranges and chocolateCan you believe  how quickly the Christmas holiday flew by?   Thankfully I have one more party before 2014 comes to a close, and it is happening tonight with my tri club, Nopal Velo.

    It will be a perfect time for everyone to catch up and compare 2015 training/racing goals.  Plus, we can hang out without sweating it out.  Nice!!!

    This group is so inspirational.  It is packed with a few Ironman studs and warrior princess’, and everyone encourages all to embrace a healthy, active lifestyle.

    Thinking about seeing everyone reminds me to shift my mindset away from holiday sweets, and re-devote my body to a positive lifestyle.  At times it is not an easy commitment.

    Take for instance … desserts.  If you are like me and want one that tastes sweet while positively fueling the body, let me share this yummy treat.  It is sweet AND gives me a guilt free reason to eat more – I like to call it “Shaved chocolate a la orange” – Healthy.  Refreshing.  Plus, easy to make.

    Simply peel an orange and place pieces in a bowl.  Make sure to squeeze a few pieces to coat the bottom of the bowl with juice.  Then shred good quality dark chocolate on top.

    Enjoy.
