Kick Butt Tip of the Day for October 12: Never Ever Stop Chasing Your Dreams

If you remember the popular tv show "The Jefferson's," you may not know the awesome story about actor Sherman Hemsley who played George Jefferson. After a stint in the U.S. Air Force, Hemsley got a full-time job working in the Philadelphia post office. After work, he took acting classes at the Academy of Dramatic Arts. Hemsley honed his craft working on Broadway around Philly. His big break didn't come until age 35 when he was offered the role of George Jefferson. The show enjoyed 11 very successful seasons. Never ever stop chasing your dreams!

Have you ever needed a healthy, quick snack and the only thing available was junk food? My latest recipe for Paleo Coconut Bars is just the trick.

I've found an easy recipe that can be made quickly! It's healthy, it's naturally sweet, and it's filling!

I make these often and they are super easy to grab and have on the go. Enjoy!

1.5 cups unsweetened shredded coconut, toasted
1 cup hemp seeds
1 cup cashew or almond butter
1/3 cup maple syrup or honey
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 c optional dried fruit or dark chocolate

Preheat oven to 325. Spread coconut evenly on parchment paper on baking sheet. Toast 5-10 minutes (watch so it doesn't burn!)

Mix the toasted coconut plus all other ingredients in a bowl. Take the mixture and press evenly into a square pan.

Refrigerate overnight. Cut evenly into about 16 bars.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge. Enjoy!
