Ah, chocolate. So rich and creamy, so full of fat and calories. But hold up what if we told you that we found a bunch of super chocolatey foods that may actually help with your weight-loss efforts?
Whether a last-minute Christmas present or a gift to yourself to aid your New Years resolution, here are a few of our favorites.
Navitas Naturals/Williams-Sonoma Protein Smoothie Mixer: Navitas and Williams-Sonoma have teamed up to offer three new organic smoothie powders. There are two fruity ones that feature antioxidants and omega-3s but were focusing on the deep chocolate Protein Smoothie Mixer. Its base is a mixture of the superfoods hemp, cacao and maca, with a touch of a Peruvian natural sweetener (lucuma). A serving offers 7 grams of vegan protein for 60 calories, and it tastes especially good blended into vanilla almond milk (the mix isnt very sweet) with a frozen banana. You can buy the mixes separately or in a three-pack at Williams-Sonoma stores or at williamssonoma.com.
Quest Cravings Peanut Butter Cups: Not many peanut butter cups can boast 20 grams of protein and only 1 gram of sugar, but protein bar maker Quest has come up with one. You get two big cups in each package, which totals 240 calories, a pretty decent meal replacement. The peanut butter cups are rich in peanut butter and the chocolate is pretty tasty for only a gram of sugar, but there is a bit of a sweetener aftertaste. Such are the trade-offs we make for nutrition. A fat burning overview can help you construct a clear outline of what you demand to focus on to achieve your fat burning objective if you're a beginner; or serve as a reminder for the ones who are at an intermediate or more boost phase of their weight-loss strategy. Applying are seven steps that can serve as instructions for your special weight loss plan. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not the same. Many weight loss applications have fooled people into thinking that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss plans only work by causing a person's body to eliminate more muscle cells and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor.

Power Crunch bars: Gotta admit, were snapping these babies up by the case for quick grab-and-go breakfasts with a cup of coffee. The wafer-cookie bars come in six flavors: Triple Chocolate, French Vanilla Crme, Peanut Butter Crme, Peanut Butter Fudge, Cookies & Crme, and Wildberry Crme. Were partial to the Triple Chocolate and the Peanut Butter Fudge. All the bars have 5 grams or less of sugar, around 200 calories and average 14 grams of whey protein. The bars are available at many stores, including grocery stores and Vitamin Shoppes. You can find out more at Powercrunch.com.
Adora Calcium: Most calcium supplements are chalky, but these are made by a candy maker so the chocolate is top notch, and not some chewy, gluey substance. For 30 calories apiece, each disc has 500 milligrams of calcium, 40 milligrams of magnesium and 250 IU of vitamin D. And you they come in milk chocolate or dark chocolate. Just remember that the body can only absorb 500 milligrams of calcium at a time, so if you take two a day, make sure they're spaced out in the morning and at night. These are widely available at places like Whole Foods and Vitamin Shoppe, but you can check out Adoracalcium.com for more info.
