We are all guilty of chowing down on unhealthy snacks while watching our favorite series or movie at home. The problem is, cutting the food out of our movie night just wouldn't be as much fun.
You can swap healthier choices though, like a home made sorbet instead of ice cream. It's easy. Just put 2 cups of your favorite frozen berries in a blender. Add a cup of water, 1/4 cup of pecans or walnuts, 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and blend. Then add a teaspoon of vanilla extract and blend again. Pour the mix into ice cream cups and freeze.
If you like cookies then swap the chocolate chip with coconut truffles. It has less sugar as well as fat because it has no butter. You also don't need an oven. Mix 2 cups of pitted dates, 2 cups of pre-soaked pecans, 1 teaspoon of vanilla and 1 tablespoon of cacao powder in a food processor. Make sure the mixture becomes smooth. Roll mixture into small balls and then cover them in dried shredded coconut.
Enjoy.
