“Progress, not perfection.” This quote has allowed recipe blogger and registered dietician Erin Palinski-Wade to obtain her healthiest self and help others along the same path. It’s true that long-lasting health is all about practicing habits you can maintain, and for Wade, denying dessert for the rest of her life just isn’t an option. Food should make you feel good, both physically and mentally, which is why it’s important to enjoy the sweet things in life. Wade has developed two outstanding recipes made with feel-good foods, so both your body and mind will thank you for the “indulgence.” Her simple four-ingredient brownie batter dip is packed with protein, and it’s so healthy you can lick the bowl clean. For those who like the combination of sweet and salty, her protein bars are the perfect treat! Pro tip: spread the brownie batter dip onto the bars for creamy, crunchy, chocolate peanut buttery-bliss. Enjoy!
