 Banana Nice Cream Sundae with UNREAL Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups!

These aren’t just any peanut butter cups!  They are seriously UNREAL!

Two new flavors were introduced to me…Dark Chocolate Coconut Peanut Butter Cups and Dark Chocolate Crispy Quinoa Peanut Butter Cups.  Where have you been my whole life???  Two of my favorite foods…quinoa and coconut crossed with a peanut butter cup is pure genius in my book!

Banana “Nice” Cream, bananas blended into a creamy dessert that tastes just like ice cream, I promise!  I use a Yonanas machine to make my banana nice cream, but a blender works well too!  If using a blender such as a vitamix, add a little almond milk to get things mixing!

What happens when you’re told you can’t have something?  You want it more!  That’s why strict diets don’t work!  It’s too hard to be perfect 100% of the time!  We’re humans, we have cravings that if not fulfilled drive us crazy!

Say you’re following a strict diet and fall off the wagon by eating something you’re ”not” supposed to.  You feel guilty, then overindulge again…it’s a vicious cycle!  Instead, give yourself the green light to “moderately” indulge daily!  If you eat a diet made up of “real” food and consume mostly plant based meals you can budget for a little splurge!  Remember, moderation is key…I’m not saying go ahead and polish off a 42 oz. bag of M&M’s in one sitting!

My splurge food is dark chocolate.  I allow myself to have a few squares every day.  It satisfies my sweet tooth and keeps my cravings at bay.  I love making treats at home with raw cacao, but when I’m too busy I indulge in brands that don’t have all the “junk” such as Unreal Candy, Chocolove, and Dagoba.

If I’m craving something salty and crunchy I will make air popped popcorn with sea salt, rice crackers, crispy chickpeas or have a few handfuls of potato chips such as Terra Chips.

Yes, that’s right…a Dietitian just told you to eat potato chips and chocolate!

What’s your splurge food?  Do you crave salty or sweet?
