A healthy lifestyle is all about moderation, about finding ways to enjoy the foods you love in a healthier way so you never feel deprived but still give your body the energy & nutrients it needs. Chocolate can absolutely be a part of that healthy lifestyle! These are all some of my favorite chocolate recipes but there’s more cookies here, brownies & other baked treats here and cakes here if you’re looking for even more ideas.

If what you really want is just plain old chocolate don’t forget, a tablespoon of chocolate chips is only 70 calories, there is no reason you can’t enjoy a serving from time to time. Dark cocoa powder is only 10 calories per Tablespoon and Hershey’s makes a great sugar free (individually wrapped) dark chocolate candy for only 30 calories too! You should never feel like you can’t have a treat like chocolate because you’re being “healthy,” just enjoy it in a healthy way! :)
