The only healthy type of 'bad boys'

You just know when someone's got that magnetism of a supernova. That charisma, contagious laugh, that rare star quality. But where does she get it? Maybe she's born with it, but maybe it's those flourless, no butter/no oil, no bake delectable energy bites . I guess you just won't know until you try them...

The hardest part about these delectable energy bites is that you can't have just one. Trust me, I've tried. Whether you're pmsing and need that chocolate fix, need a quick snack before or after the gym, or running out the door to pick up 15 kids for carpool early in the am, these are your best, quickest, and healthiest bet! I freeze them because the consistency is especially delicious while being cold.

Once you hear how healthy these ingredients are, your freezer will be stocked with these bad boys for good!

All you need are the ingredients listed below. My only request is that you buy the Trader Joe's peanut butter (pic below) because it literally tastes like the inside of a Reese's bar and for some great reason has 85% less fat than regular peanut butter. You could use any peanut butter, almond butter or coconut oil but that's if you're ok with them not being as fa-reakin awesome! You're only 'work' with these bad boys, is taking the dates and boiling them in hot water  (I boil them in almond milk for 3 minutes) you could do this in your microwave as well. This is just to soften them up so that they blend well in your blender. If you're not willing to do that, then don't! It'll still be just as irresistible! 

So that's it! Take all the ingredients, put them into a blender, start spooning, form balls with your hands and then store in the freezer or refrigerator! Lastly, plop your feet up, give a good hair toss, and indulge! 

These tasty little snacks are full of real food ingredients including whole oats, chia seeds, and quinoa. They get their addictive crunch from the cocoa nibs and quinoa are naturally gluten-free, 

  • No Refined Sugar
  • Whole Grains
  • 6% of Iron (daily value)
  • 8% of Fiber (daily value)
  • 6% Protein (daily value)
  • Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids

* Naughty Ingredient Options *

These options will make this recipe feel like you're sinning...

1 whole banana , cranberries, 5 Tbsp pumpkin (from a can) , candied pecans (or almonds) , crushed pretzels, crushed graham crackers, your favorite cereal, salted caramel, the list goes on! Just think of your favorite toppings and add it to the main ingredients on top!

 

 

Watch her woo you with wisdom.

BEAUTY OR BRAINS? HOW ABOUT BOTH?

Fortunatly for Jesica, she has both. Check out what this sharp and soulful Naughty Dame, Jesica Ahlberg has to share with us. She is an actress, model and former winner for Miss Alabama in the 2014 beauty pageant. Jesica is truly as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. Hard to believe, I know, but this dame has so much more to her than what you see. Read on and see for yourself!

What makes someone so appealing and sexy are the real things about them. Are they kind? Respectful? Dignified? Generous? Honest? Does he/she have values? Beliefs? Goals? Quirks? Humor? THAT is when the real attraction starts, and that is what will ultimately make you fall in love with them indefinitely. 

In the next two videos that you're about to see, I will prove to you that the outer appearance will only keep your attention for a mere moment. It's only once you get to know more about someones character that you will find yourself wanting to know more. Watch both videos and see how your thoughts about a person can easily be changed based on seeing their outer appearance vs. learning about who they are, their true essence; their real beauty. 

Well men…would you date her? I know your eyes loved her, and I'm certain your lower apparatus did too, but what did you actually think about her? Maybe watch the second video that way you can actually form an honest opinion.

Ok, so Jesica just happens to be one of those rare cases who happens to have both. You were warned.

There you go, you really fell for her. Jesica's sex appeal and glow doesn't come from her figure or her face, it comes from the inner most beautiful part of herself; her soul. When you fill yourself with goodness, positive energy and appreciate your life and everyone around you, you become a happier and more fulfilled person. Happier people have a radiance about them that no makeup can create. At the end of the day you can call it whatever you want but a true beauty knows that there is only one kind! 

Below is a Q & A with Jesica Ahlberg. I hope you enjoy getting to know her as much as I did!

ND: 

What does it mean to you to you to hold the prestigious title of  "Miss Alabama USA"? 

JA: 

For me, it meant having a long term goal and committing to doing everything I had to do to achieve it. I am very proud of the discipline and hard work that got me to my goal. 

ND: 

As well as being drop dead gorgeous, you're a true role model as well. Please share with us the volunteer work you do for the basics M.O.R.E program. What is it that you do exactly and what made you choose that program specifically?

JA: 

Thank you. I have always been an advocate of literacy. I believe a strong reading foundation is important to long term success. The Better Basics M.O.R.E. Program (motivators of reading enrichment) works with the Birmingham public schools to help encourage and develop a strong foundation for reading among those students. I would read to a class each week, and reward the students who read on their own time with books to keep. 

ND:

Damn woman, you really are the whole package! What is your biggest turn on?

JA: 

Simple. Hard workers 

ND: 

I like a good hard worker too (no pun intended). What would it take to get a Naughty Dame like you?

JA: 

Haa! Well this may sound cheesy but honesty, trust, kindness and a great smile.

ND:

Well you should know, cheesy lasts a lifetime. Bad boys may be for 'fun', but nerds are forever.  What advice would you give to women who have dreams and goals that they wish to achieve?

JA:

Make a plan for yourself. Know what you need to do to allow yourself to achieve your goal and do not give up! 

ND:

Very well said! What could you not leave the house without? 

JA:

My iphone. It is my mini office, life connection, map and music.

ND:

I hear that! So Jessica…where do you see yourself in the future?

JA:

I see myself as a successful actress and business woman in the entertainment industry. 

ND:

Well Jesica, you are the epitome of a Naughty Dame and I have no doubt that through all of your wisdom and kindness you will be extremely successful in anything that you do. Thank you for sharing with us all about yourself. We'll be on the lookout for you in Forbes magazine! Ciao bella!

JA:

It was a pleasure! Thank you! :)
