    Fage nonfat yogurt + sugar + coca (and if you want + peanut butter) = yum

    I'm sooo bad with the chocolate. Played a big role in the weight I gained. I treat myself to the WW Desserts. My favorite being the chocolate chip cookie dough. I try to only eat them in days that I make it to the gym.

    Another would be sugar free chocolate pudding. It's something like 60 calories per serving.

    I'm CRAVING chocolate...I even let myself have a little piece today, hoping that it would satisfy my craving. I'm going to look at sugar free cocoa tonight after work, and if I get really desperate I'll make "ice cream sandwiches" by putting light cool whip between chocolate grahams and freezing it (an old weight watchers recipe). I know I need to overcome it, but does anyone have a healthy solution or recipe to satisfy the chocolate craving?

    What I do is have some raw cocoa powder and have about a sprinkle of that on my cracker things I make... It works for me xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx You could mix that with some yogurt??? or philly! Have seen they do a choc flavor xx

    Just a thought xxxxxxxxx

    I just tried a new creation - Mocha Quinoa. Only 99 calories per serving and very good for you.

    I cooked 3/4 cup of quinoa in 1 3/4 cups of left over coffee from this morning (bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 20 minutes). Then I added 1 cup of chocolate soymilk, 1 tsp. of vanilla extract, and 2 packets of stevia sweetener. The result is kind of like a coffee and chocolate rice pudding and is high in fiber, low in fat, low in sugar.

    This recipe makes 6 - 1/2 cup servings. Per serving: 99 calories, 15.8 g carbs, 1.8 g fat, 3.8 g protein, 22 mg sodium, 183 mg potassium, 2.7 g fiber and only .7 g of sugar.

    Usually when I crave something like chocolate I take it as an indication that my body is looking for something. I make a smoothie to get natural sugars from the fruit and it works every time...and is more filling too :)

    If you live near a Trader Joes they have dark chocolate nibs... little cocoa bites at 1 cal each.

    So glad you asked. I crave chocolate too! I'm working on the healthy recipe ideas. In the meantime if I can't stave off a craving, I go for moderation or low cal: I may make some chocolate skim milk, have just a few M&Ms (letting them melt in my mouth rather than chomping on them helps), or in a serious craving I make chocolate pudding using skim milk. I hear great things about the fiber one brownies.

    I found this on MFP a while ago, and then tweaked the recipe. Very chocolaty, and a decent sized serving. Just saying, helps when your craving chocolate. lol

    I agree with the last post!
    I have a protein bar (South Beach Diet whipped chocolate and almond) it's only 100 calories, and it's sooo good!!
    Totally satisfies my choco craving and it's sort of good for you, haha.

    Try using coconut oil 2 Tbsp + coco powder + artificial sweetner (truvia). Mix together and you can throw in nuts, unsweetened cocnut, etc. chill in fridge and enjoy!

    1 piece of Godiva's 85% cacao Extra Dark Chocolate does it for me.

    Get some of the fine chocolate with chili peppers in it. It will first taste like that amazing chocolate that you are craving in a small bite and then heat up. You will be fine with one piece. and you get your fix.

    this for sure!
