Soul-Inspired Breathwork with Joan:
Soul-Inspired Breathwork is a simple technique using connected breathing to put the person in touch with the pleasure of being alive and reconnecting with higher-self wisdom. This CONSCIOUS breathing provides emotional transformation brought about by insights, new thoughts, and understandings about life and oneself. By releasing blocked energies suppressed in the physical body, the breather may experience improvement in health or freedom from specific pain or discomfort. Space is created for new creative energies and to allow healthier life patterns to emerge. Often these stuck energies are the root cause of many physical and emotional ailments.

While I’m not one to celebrate Valentine’s Day, I certainly won’t pass up the chance to eat more chocolate! This recipe is a bit healthier than other chocolate truffle recipes as it uses less fat and employs copious amounts of coconut oil and shredded coconut. If you haven’t heard me rave about the health benefits of coconut, check out the links on my site under Ingredients. You’ll be pleasantly surprised! This is a super easy recipe, no bake, and lots of fun. Try making it with your honey, the kids or a special friend. Using a small Pyrex glass bowl ( 3 1/2” diameter) to roll them in cocoa powder is something you’ll find more entertaining than you thought… just don’t let them fly out of the bowl!
Coconut Truffles
Makes 26 truffles at 64 calories a piece
3 tbsp dark chocolate chips
2 tbsp virgin coconut oil
3 tbsp cocoa powder
3 tbsp Agave syrup (dark) or Maple Syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp arrowroot powder
1/2 cup coconut, shredded
1/4 cup coconut, finely shredded *
Pinch of salt
Cocoa powder for coating (approx. 1/4 cup)
- Place chocolate chips and coconut oil into a microwave safe bowl and melt
- Stir well and add in the cocoa powder, Agave, vanilla, arrowroot and salt
- Mix in the shredded coconut
- Place in fridge to firm up for at around a 1/2 an hour.
- Place 2 tbsp of cocoa powder in a small bowl
- Take small amounts of ‘dough’ out, a little less than a teaspoon at a time, and roll into balls between your palms about the size of a cherry.
- After forming each truffle, place in bowl and giggle around until completely coated.
- Keep going until you have all the truffles rolled and coated in cocoa powder. Place in airtight container and store in fridge.
- If you don’t want to purchase or grind up finer yourself, you can just use more regularly shredded coconut or coconut flour. If using coconut flour, reduce to 1tbsp. *
