Happy 3rd Advent!

With the third candle now burning, we wish you and your loved ones a wonderful third Advent. Have you had a chance to cook and bake this holiday season? If not, we recommend these healthy chocolate cookies!

Ingredients:
120g walnuts
65g cocoa powder
1 pinch of sea salt
220g dates

Preparation:
Chop up the walnuts using a food processor. Add the cocoa powder and a pinch of salt and mix until everything is well combined.  Pit the dates and chop into quarters. Then add the dates to the walnuts and process until the mixture starts to come together. Take tablespoon sized portions and form them into bite sized balls or press the mixture into a tray and after chilling cut into small squares. Enjoy!

Happy 2nd Advent!

Today marks the second week of Advent with two candles shining brightly on the Advent wreath.

We are in the middle of the Christmas season and here’s an important question for those following their Metabolic Balance plan … How are you doing? Are you being tempted by Christmas treats and drinks around you? Can you resist? Or is it hard for you to stick to your plan? We at Metabolic Balance recommend that you should not be too strict with yourself in the run-up to Christmas. Stick to the Metabolic Balance rules, stay as close to the plan as possible, but also enjoy the Christmas season with one or two cheats. It is important to do this in moderation and to deviate from the plan a little bit only once a week.

The Start of Advent

Welcome to Advent!
Today is the start of Advent and the countdown to Christmas begins. Per tradition, on each Sunday leading up to Christmas one candle is lit, for a total of four lit candles by Christmas. Each candle represents one of four virtues: hope, love, joy and peace.
We wish you a wonderful start to the Christmas season! Enjoy the magic of these special days and have a good time!
