I started giving my son a snack of frozen blueberries and heavy whipping cream. Despite not wanting the cream, he gobbles it all up. It was a snack I picked up from Chareva Naughton on The Livin La Vida Low-Carb Show: Episode 664. Tonight I wanted a snack for myself and took it to another level. Here it is:

  • Strawberries – sliced 3 large
  • Frozen blackberries – 1/4 cup
  • Frozen blueberries – 1/4 cup
  • Heavy whipping cream – 1/4 cup
  • Unrefined extra virgin coconut oil – 1 Tbsp
  • Ground cinnamon – 1 tsp
  • Sea salt – 1 small pinch
  • Coconut shavings – 2 Tbsp
  • Brazil nuts – 2 cut in half
  • Dark chocolate with almonds – 2 mini squares broken up into smaller pieces

In a bowl put as much as you want and enjoy.

Hope you dig it.
