Attention Chocoholics!

You can also add unsweetened cocoa to a lot of things! It's 10 calories/tablespoon.

Just tried Kemps Dipped Frozen Yogurt Bars - Triple Chocolate. One bar = 110 cal, really like it, tastes a bit more like dark chocolate

Anything at all from http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/ is incredible! I mean seriously, how could you not like this?

Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate Mousse

(Serves 2-4)

1/2 package Mori-Nu silken-firm tofu (or 6 oz silken tofu)
1/2 tsp cocoa powder
3/4 c chocolate chips, or 1 and 1/4 chocolate bars in the flavor of your choice (3-oz bars) (or you can use my sugar-free chocolate chip recipe)
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 T milk of choice (I used almond milk)
1/16 tsp salt
1-2 T agave or other sweetener (I omitted)
Melt the chocolate, either on the stove or in the microwave. Then throw everything into a Magic Bullet or food processor and blend until super-smooth. (I used a Magic Bullet. If your food processor is really big, or if you’re using a blender, it might be a good idea to double the recipe in order for the contents to blend.)

i make a disgusting looking but satisfying low carb chocolate dessert with mashing ripe avocado, some nonfat dry milk powder( it gets really creamy when mixed with a little water) and dark cocoa powder...with sugar or splenda

SO GOOOD!!!!!!! and you can vary the amount of cocoa you put in it..if you want a dark chocolate pudding thats really filling....or you can melt a square of unsweetened baker's chocolate and mix that in too...

either way...healthy!!!

Bliss in a cup I call it...one packet of instant hot cocoa and 1/2 tsp of peanut butter...yum, chocolate with a hint of peanut butter and all for only 41 calories!! Cures my sweet cravings instantly!

This I must try! It might solve my peanut butter craving too!

dark cocoa powder with greek yogurt. or chocolate whey protein with greek yogurt or chocolate whey shake! i also like dark chocolate chips. i get them as dark as possible, like 60 percent and up. i actually just bought a bar of 100 percent dark chocolate! can't wait to try it. i find that having chocolate that's super rich helps me keep my portions down a lot! make sure to savor it and factor it into your day and you'll be fine.


ooh and i forgot to mention blue diamond's cocoa almonds. i really like the mint cocoa ones. something about the mint flavor curbs my appetite too.

I'm on the other side of the world (NZ) and I don't recognise a lot of the brands mentioned, however we do have chocolate (of course we do lol) and it is beautiful and creamy. I was sooo proud of myself a couple of months ago, a block of my favourite chocolate lasted me 5 days I think it was! This is virtually unheard of - would normally be closer to 5 hours LOL! I broke the block into pieces of 4 squares and put them in a container. I would allow myself one section of 4 squares every day. It kept my sweet tooth at bay and I had no real cravings. If my calories were looking ok I would occasionally have another, but that was the special treat and not every day. The separate container was the key and I kept it in the kitchen cupboard rather than beside my chair, so laziness would kick in - if I wanted more I would have to get up again and get it LOL.

For any of you who experience depression, 4 squares of the darkest chocolate (70% upwards) is very good for your mental health. Probably should start doing this one again LOL plus it's a good excuse! :-)

And my last wee bit - Dr Oz said recently on his show that diet drinks, diet food etc with artificial sweeteners do not satisfy the sweet tooth. In fact they all slide down the gullet without the sweet tooth even flinching LOL. The best thing to do to avoid a blow out on something sweet coz you are desperate is to have something with sugar in it occasionally throughout the day. That's why I think the 4 squares of chocolate every day works.

GOOD LUCK FELLOW CHOCOHOLICS!! There are some real nice recipes in this blog. Well done!

Oooh, do try the 90 calorie brownies by Fiber One. They're actually quite tasty. My favorite is the chocolate peanut butter one, but the chocolate fudge is also good.

Thought I should mention Diana's Bananas Banana Babies. They're in the freezer section near ice cream and popsicles. Kinda pricey, and could probably make your own for less, but I love them and don't want to go to the trouble to make my own. Each one is a frozen half banana dipped in chocolate like an ice cream bar. 130 calories, and delicious.
