I’m declaring Mondays as dessert days. Because I can. And want to.
Wanna know something. I didn’t even come up with this recipe title. A guy named Kyle did. He saw one of the pictures I posted on my @paleomg instagram of this delicious recipe and named it. He’s a genius. And an awesome follower. Thanks Kyle for trying my recipes often and taking great pictures of them to share with the instagram world!
Ok I need to vent. I literally cannot remember the last time I went shopping…and didn’t cry. Every single freaking time, I cry. If that’s not some bullsh*t right there, I don’t know what is. It’s just ridiculous. I work my god damn ass off in the gym, I eat pretty god damn healthy, and for what? For more god damn cellulite to show? Ughhhhh. I swear, when I was skinny and weak and jello-y, I had a lot less cellulite. But now that muscle is actually growing, muscle that I never knew I even had, my cellulite is being pushed to the surface making it look like I haven’t worked out a day in my life. I’m pissed people. Like real pissed. I don’t think there is anything in this world that I hate more than cellulite. Oh wait, people who don’t cellulite. I hate those people. Sorry for not being sorry.
Ok, let’s take a deep breath. I’m sorry for being an emotional assh*le. And I’m sorry for saying god a lot of times. My mother will be disappointed. Especially with how I worded that last sentence. Either way, I still hate you people without cellulite. Plain and simple.
Speaking of people with no cellulite, I had a partner competition with my friend Krystle this weekend. She has no cellulite, and the shortest shorts in the world. If anyone in this world can pull off stupid short shorts, it’s her. I have really good looking friends in the first place, but she may take the cake. She has a six pack, big boobs, and a great butt. It’s just bullsh*t. Thankfully I like her so I don’t talk sh*t about how perfect she is. Other than over the internet.
Anywho, she did awesome! It was her first competition and I couldn’t have been more proud to call her my competition partner. She pushed hard, she gave it her all, and she smiled through the whole thing. It was awesome to see. And the best thing is she is all signed up for an individual competition next month which will be super cool to watch. She’s just great. Watch us go!
Krystle, you’re the best. Thanks for letting me be part of your first competition. Can’t wait to see how strong you get in the next year.
Coconut Klondike Bites
- Yield: 10-12 1x
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup coconut butter or homemade coconut butter
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
- 1 bag (10oz) of Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips or dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Place shredded coconut, coconut cream concentrate, coconut oil, vanilla, and salt into a food processor and blend until you get a slightly chunky texture.
- Place silicone liners into your muffin tin. If you don’t have silicone liners, use regular paper muffin liners.
- Use a large spoon to scoop out about 2 tablespoons worth of coconut mixture and place into your muffin tins. Press down until flat.
- Once all your muffins liners are filled, melt your chocolate.
- Either place chocolate into a bowl and into the microwave to heat for 30 seconds, then stir, and repeat until chocolate is melted but not burnt. OR use a double boiler to melt down your chocolate. Microwave is easier for lazy people, like yours truly.
- Use a spoon once again to scoop out about 1 tablespoon of chocolate and pour onto your coconut cups until the coconut is completely covered. Repeat on all your coconut cups.
- Place in freezer for about 20 minutes or until chocolate is frozen.
- These will be very hard so you may need to let one sit for a couple minutes at room temperature before biting in. Or break your tooth. Whatever suits your fancy.
- Keep in fridge or freezer to help with chocolate melting.
- Eat and be merry.

Juli,
You are so hard on yourself! I think you are beautiful. You are my inspiration. Keep up your awesome work 🙂
I must say you look pretty fly in your short shorts too miss. We are all hard on ourselfs at times, but let it pass, There’s a million girls out there who’d kill for your body too you know.
chin up! 🙂
Um, Hello! You look amazing! So does recipe, which I plan to make as soon as possible.
While my problem is not the celulite, you know what annoys me?! The damn inner thigh stretch marks. I’ve had them since puberty, but CrossFit makes them much more “Look at me, look at me!”
you are perfect! whatever cellulite you are talking about is only in your head. Each person is their own worst critic, so brush it off, pick up those weights, and keep on being a sexy beast. I absolutely LOVE your blog, & aspire to meet you someday! You are the reason I will be having a #motivationalmonday 🙂
I feel you on the “hey where did that cellulite come from when I’ve been a beast in the box”?…it’s ok, it is just proof we are becoming more awesome!
Amazing recipe. And I totally feel you on the cellulite! Just try not to stress because you are beautiful and it will come off in time!
Uuuuuuuh. If you could see my cellulite you’d fall on your knees and thank everything almighty that you don’t look like me. Truth.
Ugh – cellulite!!! The bane of my existence too! That and love handles. Or, as I call them, hate handled.
But seriously girl, if I had your body and level of strength I would cry tears of joy. You look awesome and I’d say most women would kill for your body.
One thing I did hear recently in this Robb Wolf podcast (http://robbwolf.com/2012/06/12/estrogen-brad-davidson-episode-136/) was that Brad Davidson noticed that many women Crossfit games competitors carry fat on their legs, even though they’re totally ripped and strong. He thinks it might be an estrogen imbalance, since that tends to make women carry fat on their legs. Do you know how much estrogen we absorb from stuff like shampoo and lotion? I was shocked. Something worth looking into. I got my BioSignature done and it gave me great insight into what’s going on with my body composition and hormonal profile… maybe it’s worth a try?
What does the biosignature tell you Susie? I’ve thought about getting that done!! Does it tell you how to help work on those imbalances?
Yes! It’s pretty cool. I was really hitting a plateau body composition-wise, so I figured I’d give it a shot. To get it done you need to find a BioSignature practitioner. They measure the fat on 12 sites of your body with calipers – where your body is storing fat gives insight into your hormonal profile and each site relates to a different hormone. When you get it done they recommend lifestyle changes and supplements to get your hormones back on track. For me, my love handles were my worst area, which relates to insulin and blood sugar management. So my BioSig guy helped me dial my diet in to help with that. My next two problem areas were sleep (calf) and stress (tummy). He helped me figure out some supplements and strategies to help with those as well, and I’m going in after 6 weeks to get it done again and see my progress! It really wasn’t as expensive as I thought it would be either which was nice. I’m working with a guy in Ft. Collins, but on my search I saw a bunch of people in the Denver area too! Here’s the site to locate a practitioner: http://www.charlespoliquin.com/TrainerDirectory/FindaCoach.aspx
Thank you so much Susie!
