Moms hear about the importance of indulging in and enjoying some quality "me time" all the time, but actually executing on it? That’s a different story. Between soccer practices and packing lunches and bake sales, it seems like mamas are always busy tending to their family’s needs, often neglecting their own. That’s why, this Mother’s Day, our friends at Green & Black’s have partnered with Canadian moms and celebrated foodies Lisa Canning and Abbey Sharp to share their tips for taking a well-deserved time out via three easy-to-make, tasty, indulgent and—yes!—nutritious snacks featuring our favourite premium chocolates! Enjoy! —Noa Nichol
Lisa Canning’s Yogurt, Mixed Berries and Dark Chocolate Parfait. As a full-time designer, lifestyle expert and mom of six (soon to be seven!), Lisa recommends scheduling some me-time and disconnecting from your cellphone. “Think of it as a personal appointment and necessary investment. It’s important to prioritize your mental and physical health. Choose a time and plan your day around it,” she says. Get her Green & Black’s recipe on her website, Lisa Canning, here.
Abbey Sharp’s Salted Tahini Date Caramel Truffles. New mom and registered dietician Abbey recommends taking some uninterrupted time to get active. “Whether you’re a fan of yoga, swimming or simply want a nice brisk walk outdoors, moving your body is a feel-good activity," she says. “It gets the blood flowing and naturally boosts your endorphins!"
