A New Years Resolution should be doable as in realistic, challenging, FUN and meaningful. As long as it is important to you that you achieve this, then that’s all that matters. Your drive will determine your success. The small goals you set along the way will set the foundation for making your resolution your reality.
On the way to a better you
Choosing a resolution consider attempting something you know will make you a better you. In the end you will be a happier and more disciplined. This means you will be able to achieve more in your life with ease. Life is hard, yes that’s a fact. Setting a resolution that makes you stronger physically, mentally or emotionally (or all three) will make everything easier.
See the small steps to success
It’s better to focus on small goals leading up to your larger goal because if you only focus on the end result you won’t embrace the journey. Envision the steps leading up to success. Each step is a crucial part of that success. Rome was not built in a day. Expect greatness from yourself, but lay the foundation for success that’s what the steps are.

Looking to enjoy HALLOWEEN while still treating your body right?
While we will be sure to include some tasty treats in our October box, we have a couple of recipes that are our favorite this time of year! They help satisfy our cravings while still being festive and guilt-free!
“Boo” Nana Pops
Ingredients
- Bananas
- White chocolate (1 oz. per 1/2 banana)
- Chocolate chips
- Popsicle sticks
Instructions:
- Cut bananas into fourths (by width and then by length)
- Melt white chocolate
- Insert popsicle stick into flat end & dunk into white chocolate
- Add chocolate chips for eyes and chill in fridge until ready
Witch Finger Cookies (paleo + vegan!)
Ingredients:
- 1/2 Cup Coconut oil at room temperature (should be the consistency of softened butter)
- 1/4 Cup + 3 Tbsp Honey *
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp Almond extract
- 1 Cup Coconut floursifted (88g)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 16 sliced almonds
- For the strawberry jelly: **
- 3/4 Cup frozen strawberries thawed and roughly chopped (170g – measured when fullythawed and soft)
- 2 Tbsp Honey *
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, using an electric hand mixer, beat together the honey and coconut oil and smooth and creamy. Add in the vanilla and almonds extracts and beat once more.
- Add the coconut flour and salt into the bowl and stir until well combined, and a wet dough forms. Scrape the dough onto a large piece of saran wrap and wrap into a flat, thin disc. Place into the refrigerator until firm and roll-able, about 25-30 minutes.
- While the dough chills, preheat your oven to 325 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a small sauce pan, combine the chopped berries and honey and bring to a b
oil over medium heat. Cook the berries, stirring frequently, until they become very thick and smooth, about 13-14 minutes. Make sure to really keep an eye at them near the end of cooking time, so they don’t burn.
- Transfer the berry mixture to a bowl and mash with a fork. Place into the refrigerator to set up.
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll 1 Tbsp sized balls into 4 inch long finger-shapes, that are about 1/2 an inch thick. Place onto the prepared baking sheet and firmly press an sliced almond into the tip of the finger, to create fingernails. Remove the almond before baking. Then, using a small, sharp knife, make several horizontal, shallow cuts just under the finger nail, and then in the center of each finger, to represent knuckles. Lightly press in the dough on either sides of the knuckles to shape them. Place the whole pan into the freezer for 10 minutes.
- Once frozen, bake the cookies until golden brown, and lightly crackly about 12-13 minutes.
- Once cooled, dip the bottom of the finger into the strawberry jam, so it looks like it’s been cut off. Then, fill the finger nail space with a dollop of the jam, and press in a sliced almond.
Spooky Teeth
Ingredients
Apples
- Jar of peanut or almond butter (you will use about 1/4 to a 1/2cup for one apple-depending on amount you use)
- Mini marshmallows
Instructions:
- Cut apple into 8 slices, then into smaller pieces to your preference
- Put about 1-2 teaspoons of peanut butter onto each slice
- Put a row of mini marshmallows across one apple slice
- Sandwich the two slices together and press firmly until they stick together
Have a happy, healthy and spooky Halloween!

Once we get re-connected to nature and the rawness of life, we remember that simplicity is often all we need. We love featuring raw snacks in our box for just that reason. Adding raw snacks to your diet is smart, and we’ll give you 4 epic reasons why. But first, we have to brag about our partner Raw Bite. They are a dope company, making unbelievably delicious Raw Bite Bars. With simple organic ingredients and limited processing, founders Mortan, Nikolaj and Ralf have done it right.
Common raw food recipes include mostly organic, uncooked, and unprocessed foods. No matter what kind of diet you follow, including raw snacks is a sweet gesture that your body and tastebuds will thank you for.
Do you remember when you were a child, the first time your parents taught you to pick a wild berry off a tree? The experience of picking it form nature, putting it into your mouth and tasting the sweetness and sourness of it. That experience is one of Mother Nature’s greatest gifts to enjoy as humans.
Adding Raw snacks to your diet allows you to slip back into that place anytime you want. Raw snacks are filled with vibrant nutritious energy. While many of the stable snacks we buy in vending machines are fried with grease and filled with preservatives.
4 reasons to add Raw Snacks to your diet:
- Homemade Raw snacks are easy and your kids will think your a chef (think cherries, pecan’s and dates)
- Packed with healthy fats that actually help you loose weight.
- Experience more mental clarity and decrease afternoon sluggishness
- Enjoy a variety of nutrients and enzymes improving your overall health
Raw Bite Founding Team
Thanks to the Raw Bite, we have a super easy option for on the go snacks that we can trust are healthy. If you have kids, you can feel proud about giving these snacks to your kids. If you don’t have kids, you can enjoy them all to your self!
It’s just a bite. Another important lesson to learn from the team at Raw Bite. Sweet snacks do not have to consist of full double size candy bar to satisfy intense cravings. Bite size snacking adds just the right amount of sweetness to your day.
Every time you eat, including snacks, is an opportunity to nourish your body.
