If you’re anything like me, when the chocolate craving hits, there’s no missing out on it. It started for me when I was pregnant (more than a decade and a half ago) and I ate chocolate every day. I don’t recommend this approach. I poured chocolate milk by the litre daily, ate dairy milk and couldn’t figure out what the inflammation was about. I thought it was just pregnancy. Um….it was sugar, dairy and all sorts of nasty junk.
Fast forward to a teenager that sleeps in my lower level all day and I still get those chocolate cravings.
Here’s my quickest fix:
Frozen bananas (2)
Dates (1-2)
Chocolate chips (you know the drill - ¼ cup)
Cinnamon (1 tsp)
Almond milk (½ - 1 cup)
Toss everything in a blender and give it a whirl.
I add the cinnamon for a few reasons:
- It helps to lower my blood sugar levels
- It may help lower my blood pressure
- It’s filled with antioxidants
And a few other reasons (Read my blog - link in bio)
BUT….did you know that the cinnamon you reach for in the grocery store may not be the best kind? Be sure to read the Nourished Fact on cinnamon for the best kind to look for!
