Craving busters?
| Wed, 06-28-2006 - 2:21pm |
Until someone comes up with a diet strictly made up of chocolate, ice cream, cookies, desserts of all kinds.... I thought we could share some of our favorite 'craving busters'.
I crave chocolate - CONSTANTLY! and while there is no substitute for a fresh baked chocolate chip cookie, maybe there are things out there that help alleviate the craving without going overboard (like eating an entire bag...)
I have found the sugar free fudgesicles (don't remember the brand - maybe jello brand?) that have 40 calories are really pretty chocolatey, and don't taste sugar free. I always crave 'junk' at night for some reason, and one of these helps me get past my cravings.
Any other suggestions out there for favorite snacks?

yum!!
I love seeing snack suggestions!!
Cadbury Thins - 100 calories and fantastic chocolatey taste!!
What I try to have handy are:
Pria Power Bars - Kind of like a chocolate covered rice crispy treat. Also, have several flavors. 110 calories and a lot of additional good stuff in them.
Snack Barz - These are made by Hershey. If you can find them in the boxes (not the large single wrapped kind). A little higher in calories 130 but again have a decent nutritional value and have several flavors of these as well. Just had a Reese one and it was good. Hope I can keep from eating another one.
Special K Bars - 90 calories each several flavors
Chips Ahoy Whole Grain Chocolate Chip cookies - Serving size 3 cookies at 150 calories. Not sure what the regular ones are but if I recall the serving size is smaller and a lot more calories.
Lays Light Chips - Serving size about 20 chips a modest bowl full at 70 calories. These are better than the baked lays at 130 a serving.
Honey Wheat Pretzels - About 110 calories in 8 pretzel twists.
Luna bars are good as well but a little pricier and more calories than the Pria Power Bars.
Also, a good trick I have found to stave off
This is just what I needed this morning...I'm not usually a chocolate craving girl, but recently OMG!!!!! The ideas from Miranda and Gretchen are great- thanks ladies :-)
I have found those yoplait mousses great too. Other than that.....I'm weak and go for the *real deal*- oops!
