Think: A recipe for complexion-friendly treats. A healthy regimen you’ll want to indulge in.

Kimberly Snyder, the innovator behind Envision Beauty, created The Solution – the brand’s flagship all-in-one skincare product – to complete her natural lifestyle. A yoga and living foods expert, Kimberly developed The Solution to do for her skin what her diet does for her body-balance, nourish and beautify by combining natural ingredients and advanced research. The Solution is a benefit-driven formula derived from the most powerful active ingredients that nature and science have to offer

This season, give the gift of naturally healthy skin with the complexion-boosting power of The Solution and Kimberly’s recipe for Sinlessly Beautifying Raw Cacao Truffles.

“This easy recipe is guaranteed to impress your friends,” says Kimberly. “These truffles are not only sinfully tasty, but also truly good for you thanks to 100% raw, healthy ingredients. Because raw foods are uncooked, their natural, living enzymes and nutrients remain intact. Raw foods-even desserts-provide a major energy boost, are loaded with easily assimilated vitamins, minerals and protein, and help you stay slim.”

In its raw form, cacao contains many beneficial rejuvenating and anti-aging elements, including antioxidants, magnesium, and the beauty mineral sulfur. Another key ingredient, coconut butter, is a cold pressed, cholesterol-free oil that stimulates thyroid function, increases metabolism and promotes weight loss.

INGREDIENTS
¾ cup raw cacao powder (available at health stores)
2 cups ground raw almonds
¾ cup raw agave nectar (a low-glycemic plant sweetener)
1 Tbs. organic coconut butter (sometimes called oil)
Pinch of Celtic sea salt
1 cup shredded, dried unsweetened coconut flakes

INSTRUCTIONS
“Combine all the ingredients except for the coconut flakes in a large bowl and mix thoroughly,” says Kimberly. “Roll up your sleeves, take a small amount of the mixture, and roll small balls between your palms. Dip each ball in a separate smaller bowl containing the coconut flakes.”

“Freeze overnight to harden the truffles-I keep them frozen until they’re ready to serve. Enjoy!”
