Help - suggestions needed for my 3pm sugar craving
A couple of hours after lunch feel the urge to inhale chocolate. Was thinking of making something choclatey with protein powder kinda like a chocolate pudding or slice. Anyone help me with creating a receipe for my afternoon snack. Ideally high in protein and fibre so it's filling but under 200 calories.....
And no I cannot just have a little bit of real chocolate instead, once I get the taste for it I eat until I feel sick.

Plain non-fat greek yogurt with 1/4 packet of sugar free chocolate pudding mix. Full of protein but still has your coco fix.0

Hot Chocolate? I love the Bourneville Highlights drink. It's really chocolatey but only 40cals per cup. When I'm drinking that, everyone in the office craves chocolate ;-)0

Update - been making protein balls with chia seeds, protein powder, oats, nuts, maple, coconut oil. Super tasty and coming in at under 200 calories.0

Vanilla Nonfat Greek Yogurt with "straight" cacao, or Dark Chocolate Almond Milk, both Almond milk and Nonfat Greek Yogurt have TONS of protein...I've been using both of these ingredients for my chocolate ice cream fix.0

Just dropping sugar totally was the only way I was able to break the sugar addiction mid afternoon. I drink about 3-5 tablespoons of dark cocoa powder mixed in hot water with a little coffee during the day but sometimes I skip adding any coffee. I love my dark cocoa and now do not miss the sugar.0

2 tablespoons chia seeds, 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, 1/4 cup coconut milk, 3/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk, and stevia or splenda to taste. Combine everything in the morning (or the day before) and by afternoon you'll have the most delicious pudding that tastes just like an almond joy candy bar. Chia is really filling and satisfying.0

Also their 90 calorie brownies are really good. Ideally I'd like them to be about 4 times bigger haha but they work really well for my sweets cravings!0 -

This sounds good. Am going to try this. Thanks

If I'm craving chocolate, I just buy a high quality dark chocolate bar and eat a quarter of it. Roughly 100-125 calories.
If I still need to hit my protein goal, I mix oatmeal with half a scoop of chocolate protein powder. Or just have a protein shake. Or mix the powder with greek yogurt.0 -
Lately I've been doing oats in a jar for a mid afternoon or late night snack. Oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, and whatever add ins you want. Yesterday I did marshmallows and chocolate hazelnut cream. Today I'm doin cinnamon and apples0

Why not just not think about it so you dont have to have a '3pm sugar craving'?0

Eat something with fiber, protein, and a healthy fat at lunch. I get horrible sugar cravings and doing this always helps stop the afternoon battle with the cookie monster.
Another option would be to split your lunch into 2 smaller meals. 1/2 at lunchtime and 1/2 at 3pm.0 -
I usually eat a banana around that time, it keeps me full until dinner.0
