5 Healthy Chocolate Fixes (plus a pie)

Next time you have a craving, try these low-cal, nutrient rich alternatives.




Chewy Chocolate Nuggets: Take 4 dates and roll them in unsweetened cocoa powder. You get a load of antioxidents and 3 grams of fiber for only 100 calories.



Cake Batter Candy: This doesn't have the eggs and you're not making a whole cake here, so it's a small portion." Mix 3 tablespoons of chocolate cake mix and 1/2 to 2 teaspoons of water, depending on how gooey you like your batter. (75 calories.)



Frozen Chocolate Chips: Slice an overripe banana into coins, drizzle with a tablespoon of sugar-free chocolate syrup, and lay them flat in a zipper plastic bag. Freeze. (About 112 calories.)



Banana Lick-ity-Split: Take 1/2 a banana, roll it in unsweetened cocoa powder, and top with 2 tablespoons of fat- free whipped cream (70 calories, 0 grams fat.)




White Chocolate Yogurt: "You'll be surprised how the protein helps satisfy a craving" . Just add 1 to 2 teaspoons of unsweetened cocoa powder to a 6-ounce tub of light vanilla yogurt. (About 100 calories.)



Pumpkin Cracker Pie: In case you need a chocolate break, take a can of pumpkin (lots of fiber and vitamin A) and mix it with cinnamon and a teaspoon of sugar. Serve on two (2.5 inch) Graham Cracker squares. (Just over 100 calories.)
