Cycle and Chocolate Cravings

[MissMasala5]

Yes, the chocolate craving is on full force right now. The kids got a boat load of Hershey's kisses, but I wanted an organic option, and found these Dagoba bars at my local grocery store. The one with chili peppers jumped out at me. I am a cayenne pepper person, I add it to my green tea, my smoothies, and just about everything I eat. But I never thought of a pepper/chocolate combo. Let me just say WOW! This chocolate is divine. How divine? My youngest daughter, who normally hates dark chocolate and doesn't care for pepper almost ate the whole bar! Good stuff. If you are like me and crave chocolate during your monthlies, or anytime, don't pass up the Dagoba bars.

OH NO ur mean don't do this to me! I love chocolate any time of month but it doesn't love me on my cycle :nono: Now I'm gonna have try this though. It sounds exotic and yummy:lick: I wish it was a non caffeinated chocolate. Cuz I always crave chocolate and pepsi on my cycle but if i give in it kills me.

Yep, Dagoba is good and healthy too. :up:

Did you all know that the reason we crave choc. around this time is because our body is using up lots of magnesium during this time and chocolate is a source of, you guessed it, magnesium!
