Eat Better Mondays: Favorite Sweet Treat

Even when you're eating the Red Carpet Ready way, you might still have a craving for something sweet. Here's one of my favorite new treats that won't blow your diet. It's a little like chocolate fondue. I've used strawberries in this example, but any fruit will do.

How about some fat free yoghurt/FF greek yogurt or fromage frais on top? Would be like having cream, chocolate and strawberries!

OMG, I just did this with three Dove dark chocolate "Promises" and about four ounces of raspberries...looks a mess but tastes AMAZING.

I just bought RCR and have been poring over it for the last few days. My first weight circuit is scheduled for tomorrow. (I did a 5K race today.) Can't wait!

Hi Julie,

I can't wait to hear how you like the RCR circuits. Do you have the Valslides yet? You can do the workout without them but they are like putting your foot on the gas pedal and flooring it. It just speeds things up. Valerie

If you do this with a chocolate protein shake, you're even better off (milk/casein based ones are creamy thick too). Just had one with blackberries.
