Eat Healthy AND Enjoy Chocolate Treats

Oh me, Oh my!!! 

Who says eating healthy has to mean eliminating chocolate???

I have found a healthy way to enjoy chocolate and I can't keep it a secret!! As a child, I loved Snickers and Milky Way candy bars and could eat them without worrying about my weight or figure.  I was active with cheerleading and softball, but of course things changed as I got older.

No more candy bars for me...until now...I have found my fix!  I am doing my best to cut out sugar because it is so addictive and the more I eat the more I crave it!  For example dried fruit mixes are my weakness...yes there could be worse, but it is full of sugar!!!

As I continue to follow the 21 Day Fix workout and meal plans am always looking for healthy foods I can make feel like a treat!  First I found Chocolate Shakeology which has tons of nutrients and check out this comparison....

Isn't this AMAZING!!!

Plus Shakeology is full of vitamins and "superfoods" that make the shake a healthy choice!! There are TONS of Shakeology shake recipes but I drink my shake in the morning and don't typically have morning chocolate cravings, so I usually have Vanilla or Strawberry shakes for breakfast.

So to get my chocolate fix, I decided to try Shakeology treats like fiber bars or just simply Shakeology chocolate!  I will be honest, I wasn't sure how this would turn out!  As I was mixing it in the kitchen my kids and husband were excited for a new treat but not convinced it would taste good.


The Chocolate Bar recipe is simple....
1 scoop of Chocolate Shakeology
1 spoon of coconut oil melted

Let the coconut oil cool a little, then stir it together and spread it on a sheet of wax paper and put into the freezer until solid.  

I cut into chunks and enjoyed a chocolate bar with no guilt.

1 spoon of coconut oil is a good fat and 1 shakeology serving is 1 red.
So I counted it as a partial red and spoon as I don't eat the entire bar...just pieces. But feel free to eat the whole bar and count it as a red!!

OMG!!! Isn't this is so exciting?!?!

Courtney and Matt tried it and came back for seconds too!

I LOVED it so much I actually doubled the recipe the next time I made it, so it would last several days! Plus I added some peanut butter, PB2, for extra variety!! You could also add nuts or slivered almonds!!!!!  

OMG!!! You can stay on track and still have chocolate!

YOU MUST TRY & LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!

If you don't have Shakeology hit me up for samples or your own bag!!!!
