There are some times of the month when I swear I can eat chocolate at every meal. While I could definitely put down a pint of Haagen Dazs every night, I try to find healthier ways to control my cravings.
When I first heard that ZICO was coming out with a chocolate coconut water I thought – blech! That cannot possibly be good. I’ve tried the other flavored varieties before and they are way too sugary or taste odd to me. So I stuck to plain.
This stuff tastes almost exactly like chocolate milk. Or at least Yoohoo.
Plus it’s only 110 calories for a big bottle, and since it’s so yummy I can take a few sips and put it back in the fridge, unlike plain coconut water which I basically chug so fast I give myself the hiccups.
I need to order a case of this right away.

Lindt chocolate with a hint of sea salt
I had seen some rave reviews of this chocolate on other blogs, but I’m not usually one to just buy a big honkin car of chocolate from the store. Well, desperate times call for desperate measures.
At first it tastes just like a good piece of dark chocolate, but then, when you get a little rock of salt it causes this little flavor burst that’s so cool! It basically amplifies the effect that you get when you add salt to sweet chocolate chip cookies.
Luna chocolate-peanut butter protein bars
When I was at Target the other day, I picked up a box of these and noticed that they are now labeled gluten free. I guess they just started labeling them, which is great because it clearly differentiates them from the normal Luna bars, which are not gf because of the oats.
“Our ingredient suppliers have confirmed that all ingredients are gluten free, so they contain no gluten from wheat, rye or barley. The location where we make our food is capable of making a gluten free food and we test our finished products to confirm that they are gluten free.” (source)
I can’t say that these taste all that great. They’re protein bars, so, they taste like protein bars. But, half of one out of the freezer works for me if I have a sweet tooth after lunch.
And when all else fails, I can always turn to…
Skinny Cow Chocolate Truffle bars. Because they taste like creamy frozen pudding. Also, their website is confusing because it says “Does not contain” and then in the list it says “gluten free”. So it does not contain gluten free? Hmm…
Either way, they are gluten free and I can eat a box in two days. Or one day, or one hour. 
So, there you have it. Some slightly healthier options for when you feel the need to have a constant stream of chocolate in your diet.
Do you have any other healthy gf chocolate dessert options?
Gluten Free? Gimme Three! 
I’m sure everyone that’s GF has had it, and it’s not so healthy, but………..who can resist a Flourless Chocolate Dome from P.F. Chang’s? AMAZING
I actually haven’t had that! Usually when I go to Changs I end up stuffing myself so much I don’t have room for dessert. Next time I’ll have to remember that and not clear my plate at dinner.
