Sweet, Sweet Love

If there is one food I could not live without, I honestly think I would have to choose chocolate. I cannot go a single day without having some form of chocolate goodness. Unfortunately to me, this love of chocolate doesn't quite bode well with my current quest to loose weight. (Life's tough, get a helmet - I know)

So what's a weight-loss trying girl to do? Make pounds drop off while eating chocolate! (or something like that...) Since I know I can't succeed at any diet plan that doesn't allow me to eat this yummy food, I had to find creative alternatives that both satisfied my cravings and didn't add pounds to the scale. Here are some of my favorite no-guilt chocolate treats! 

1. JELL-O Dark Chocolate Pudding Cups

For only 60 calories a container, I love packing these in my lunches for a no-guilt dessert!

2. Mini Sized Candy
As long as you can stop at one (or two!) I have found that mini-sized candy works for me. This allows me to give in to my sweet tooth without packing on the pounds. Most of the time, I have good self-control when it comes to this but I know for some people that is impossible so if that's you then skip this idea :-) 

3. Homemade Chocolate Milkshake using Sugar-free Chocolate JELL-O packet.

I got this tip from undressedskeleton.tumblr.com! Mix a little chocolate pudding powder with ice and skim milk in a blender and you will have a low-cal chocolatey treat that is beyond satisfying! 

3. Cadbury Double Chocolate Ice Cream Bars
Cadbury™  Double Chocolate  Ice Cream Bars
My ABSOLUTE favorite low-cal chocolate treat! At 150 calories each, these taste amazing and satisfy my craving for both chocolate and ice cream! I usually end each night with one of these treats :-) 

Are you as addicted to chocolate as I am? What are your favorite no-guilt treats?
