A Little Pick Me Up

Okay so a few weeks ago when I was hanging out with the precious Shelly Hunter and the kiddos, she offered me a snack that she was giving the kids...I absolutely LOVED it and was so impressed by how she disguised such healthy nutrients into a little tasty, CHOCOLATE pick me up. I got back to Fayetteville and made it in bulk right away so that I would have it on hand. Now around 3 three o clock daily I find myself migrating the freezer. I was struggling so much with bad headaches every afternoon but just eating this little protein-packed delicious snack has eliminated those headaches without taking any meds! SO great!

The Recipe:
Walnuts
Pecans
Pumpkin Seeds
Sunflower Seeds
Chocolate Chips

Then, you dump them all into a freezer-size ziplock bag and place the bag in the freezer.

You will be amazed at how good these simple ingredients taste when they are frozen! Then I usually just take out a little bit and put it in a little ziplock or a small dish for my afternoon pick-me-up! It is packed full of protein and yet it is something I look forward to because I am a chocolate addict! It's got it all really! It is a perfect snack for the kiddos too!

You can make as much or as little as you want. You can also add differnt nuts/seeds. I tried adding peanuts and it is pretty good, but they dont taste as good frozen as the other nuts.

I buy all of the nuts/seeds in bulk at Trader Joes, Sams, or Costco because they are so much cheaper that way and obviously, in the freezer it lasts awhile!

Enjoy! Thank you Shelly Hunter!!!
