I ALWAYS get asked for an alternative to chocolate, and honestly is there an alternative to chocolate? ??♀️
⠀
These chocolate covered rice cakes are often purchased as a ‘healthy’ alternative to chocolate. I suggest just eating the chocolate ? you enjoy, but having it in a sensible portion, OR you can always think outside the box ??? and make your own chocolate sweet fix and save your pennies ? !
⠀
40 g CHOCOLATE COVERED MINI RICE CAKES
➩ Marketed as wholegrain rice cakes, gluten free and all natural.
✘ Calorie dense and nutrient poor
✘ Low fibre, will leave you wanting more (you’ll end up eating the chocolate you were avoiding)
⠀
VS
⠀
100 g RASPBERRIES + 10 g CHOCOLATE CHIPS
➩ Still gluten free, real fruit, actually provides fibre! ✔Nutrient dense, low calorie
✔Large volume, will keep you feeling full and satisfied
⠀
Sometimes ONLY chocolate will satisfy your chocolate cravings, and it is important to acknowledge them! ❤️
If you enjoy chocolate covered rice cakes instead of chocolate by all means continue with selecting them BUT if your ONLY picking them because they are ‘healthy’ and aren’t actually enjoying them as much as you would chocolate, then stop. ⠀
