Chocolate without guilt

I love chocolate, almost as much as I love Buzz Lightyear, but that's another post. My poor, sweet husband, lol!

Anyway, I LOVE Easter chocolate....snickers eggs, hollow bunnies filled with peanut butter and honey, cadbury eggs....they have been taunting me in the grocery store :( And I'll admit to caving more than I should have lately.

I also love greek yogurt and I found Stonyfield Farms Oikos Greek Yogurt in 4 packs at Wal Mart last weekend. I never shop at WM but I can get some of my staples there cheap and money is tight so, I discovered these little gems. They have chocolate, blueberry and honey. I was hesitant to try the chocolate and ate the others first (which were VERY good). Today I tried the chocolate and MMMMMMM!!!! It was kind of like having chocolate syrup mixed into vanilla ice cream. At 110 calories, 17 carbs and 10 g protien, these will so be my new chocolate craving fix!!!

The price is steep if you aren't used to paying for organic greek yogurt but WELL worth every penny :)

    There's actually an article in the fitness magazine I just purchased about the benefits of a small piece of DARK chocolate now and then, for all the antioxidants in it.

    I do love good quality dark chocolate as a treat too, and it is great for you. Unfortunately, with the way I like to enjoy chocolate, I think the yogurts are a safer choice for me most of the time, lol. Portion control, protien, something I can fit in everyday. But you are totally right about dark chocolate :)

    I was actually surprised. I used to be a big chocolate fan. Not so much anymore. I don't know what happened. After i had my kids, chocolate just didn't sound good to me anymore.

    Organic Greek Chocolate Yogurt? I have to try this.... thank you :) I usually love Easter but now I'm scared of it...I'll be staring at my daughters baskets and telling them to hide it from me!
