What do you eat when you crave chocolate?

grizzlyacnp · July 2012

I use a lot of the Pure Protein bars. They have some great chocolate and chocolate peanut butter flavored ones. Does the trick for me. You also get about 20-25 gm of protein eating one.

I add a serving of hershey's unsweetened cocoa powder to my oatmeal to curb my craving.

You can google Chocolate Covered Katie for healthy chocolate desserts.

I love chocolate, but I know that it can come with a lot of unwanted calories. So every once in a while I enjoy a piece of the sugar free dark chocolate from hershey and since it has a rich flavor it satisfies my craving and I don't feel guilty. I never used to like dark chocolate, till I had to appreciate my allotted calories for the day.

I very rarely crave chocolate; usually means something is really bothering me (like, don't even crave it during TOM), so I usually indulge. I'm good with M&Ms or something and enjoy it.

Personally, if you have the will power and it's within your calorie count, have a piece every once in awhile.

I like dark chocolate covered almonds. I think they are Emerald brand? They aren't as healthy as a normal raw almond but for a sweet, filling treat that isn't awful for me, they work quite well! They also have a lot of other good flavors.

I make my own low carb, sugar free, dairy free chocolate with coconut oil....add in some Justins Hazelnut butter or peanut butter and u can conquor any craving!

2 tbsp coconut oil
1-2 tbsp cocoa powder/unsweetened dark chocolate/or even carob powder Depending on your preference
Sweetener of choice (i use truvia and have been successful with equal, splenda, and aga e)
1 tbsp justins hazelnut butter or dark chocolate almond butter
Optional add ins- cocoa nibs, chopped almonds, the possibilities are endless.

Mix everything together and put in any container (i use silicone shapes ice cube trays) pop in frjdge for 30ins or if you are impatient like me pop in freezer for less than 10 mins.

This recipe is sooo easy and really goes a long way, and makes me feel as if I am never deprived

When I crave chocolate I will eat......chocolate.

EndlessSacrifice · July 2012

Just have some chocolate. I find that when I try to substitute my cravings with other things, I just end up eating a bunch of substitutes. Then the calories add up to more than just satisfying the craving would've been.

I will usually fix me a mug cake i cut the portions though and don't use eggs or oil, just about 2 teaspoons sugar or half packet of stevia 1 teaspoon cocoa powder and enough skim milk to mix it together

I have found Light chocolate mousse to enjoy, I have chocolate milk often with breakfast cereal and muesli bars with choc chips for lunch sometimes, so you dont have to avoid it totally

Chocolate. Dark chocolate is a great way to get your fix. It's healthier and usually lower calorie, especially if you get one that's not sweetened. Or even chocolate chips. 1 tbsp of unsweetened chocolate chips are only 60 calories. They're great frozen!
