Postpartum Weight Loss- Almonds and Dark Chocolate
May 4th, 2009
Gotta sweet tooth and you’re hungry? One of my personal favorite snacks to satisfy my hunger and my sweet tooth are almonds and dark chocolate. I take about 1-2 handfuls of raw almonds (they sell a large quantity for a good price at Costco) mixed w/ 1-2 handfulls of Giradelli semi-sweet chocolate chips (60% cocoa). YUM!! Enjoy the benefits:
Raw Almonds - High in protein, fiber, vitamin E, magnesium and potassium. They also reduce the risk of heart disease by lowering cholesterol.
Dark Chocolate Chips- 60% cocoa and higher are high in flavinoids (which act as an antioxidant to protect the body from aging). Dark chocolate also reduces blood pressure and cholesterol and can reduce depression.
