I don't know about you guys but I really like chocolate. Did I say LIKE? I meant REALLLLLY LIKE chocolate. I crave it & it's been one of those things I have missed since being banded. But, I've found something that's still chocolate & actually healthy. I can eat it!!!

I dip half of a banana in a thin layer of chocolate & let it harden. (I found it in the banana section at the store.) It's only a small amount of chocolate & it really feeds my appetite for chocolate. I dipped 6 of them at a time & freeze them in seperate baggies. I told myself I can have one a day for my snack & I feel like I'm in heaven. The banana is very healthy & it goes down easy without any problems.

Just thought I'd share if there are others out there who miss chocolate as much as I do.

I love chocolate too, it is my weakness...I eat the Yoplait Whips, they have a new chocolate flover, chocolate cherry and chocolate rasberry too, it tastes like chocolate mousse and only 160 calories, I'm going to have to try the chocolate covered bananas , I eat 1 banana everyday

Thanks Diane...I will have to try that when I can eat regular food again...or would that qualify for a mushie...hummm...will have to check into that.

I'm right there with you sister! I LOOOOOOOVVEEEEE chocolate! I will give this a try. When I'm weak I usually eat a 3 musketeer bite size bar, but I'm finding that they are just too sweet now. Go figure! Too sweet!

Great healthy idea.....gonna try that.....gotta go back to the store

Try the Sugar-Free Popicle brand choc. pops, you can't tell the difference.

You can also use that chocolate dip for other fruits, like strawberries, mmmmmm. Just let your healthy imaginations go wild. Cherries when they're in season would be so decadent too.

Well, before I figure out how to dip my chihuahua and nibble on her, I'd better stop now.

I am just like you LaMadam, I have been eating the chocolate cherry whips and a banana a day too!

About the chocolate dipped bananas, in high school, I worked for a local Tastee Freez (fast food place) and we made those all the time and called them Monkey Tails! They are delicious and I haven't had one in probably 10 years! We also dipped them in butterscotch and rasberry. Yum!!

Love the banana thing. I am for sure going to try that!
