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.0 -
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 xxxxxxxxx0 -
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.0 -
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 too0

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.0

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.0 -
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!0

1 piece of Godiva's 85% cacao Extra Dark Chocolate does it for me.0
