Lara Bars are one of my favorite snacks - they’re made of nothing but dried fruit and nuts, and are great for an energy boost. They sell for $1.50-$2.00 each, but by making your own, you save money and get to customize your bars however you’d like. Can’t wait to try these.
Product Review Time: Pure Chocolate Brownie Bars
I’m obsessed. Most “health” bars out there are dry and artificial, but these Pure bars are organic, vegan and amazingly tasty for a wannabe-brownie. They’re very fudgy - you may not be a fan if you like cakey brownies - and packed with nuts. I have no idea how they managed to make such simple ingredients taste like a fudgy brownie but I’m not complaining.
So if you’re craving a brownie but don’t want to splurge on calories or fat, try one out!

When it’s time to choose a liquid chug after a long, tough workout, there’s a slew of options out there. Water? Gatorade, POWERade, or All Sport? Endurox R4? Physiologist Joel Stager, director of the Human Performance laboratory at Indiana University, has even one more potential workout recovery drink to add to the list: chocolate milk. His latest study, published in this month’s International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism, names this kids’ favorite an optimal post-exercise recovery aid.
What do you do on a 94 degree day? Make frozen hot chocolate, obviously!
Yesterday I met my friend Andy for lunch in midtown. After lunch he said I HAD to try this frozen hot chocolate drink at Dunkin’ Donuts. I was seriously skeptical since I’d never buy one of these on my own… but it turns…
love frozen hot chocolate! must try.
Yeah I’d rather be eating a Toblerone, but this will do to hold over my random chocolate craving
Raspberry Rockets (a.k.a. white chocolate filled raspberries that are perfect for a sweet craving)
Ingredients:
- 20 raspberries (20)
- 20 white chocolate chips (34)
Method:
Wash the raspberries by holding them under gently running water or submerging in a bowl of water and agitating gently. Allow the raspberries to air-dry by simply putting them on a towel. Once dry, insert one chip into each berry with flat side of the chip facing you. Serve.
Each serving (10 raspberry rockets) holds 27 calories
This is a fabulous idea!
It’s a chocolate-hazelnut spread. The sweet nectar of life. Try it.

I LOVE Ben&Jerry’s Chunky Monkey ice cream. Creamy banana ice cream embedded with chocolate chunks and walnuts…mmmm.
But at 300 calories and tons of fat, saturated fat, and sugar for a 1/2 cup serving, it’s definitely a once in a while treat. Here’s a healthier alternative to get the same Chunky Monkey taste, with half the fat and sugar.
Not-So-Chunky Monkey Ice Cream
Place frozen bananas in a food processor and blend until smooth. Stir in or top with walnuts, chocolate and peanut butter. Serve immediately. Makes 2 servings.
