What food can replace chocolate in an unhealthy diet?
If you go to a health-food store and ask for chocolate substitutes, they’re going to point you at the carob supplies. It’s doesn’t have any caffeine, as chocolate does. It isn’t really any better for you than chocolate is, once enough sugar and fat has been added to it to make it tasty. It used to be billed as more “natural”, but it really doesn’t hold up. Honestly, the best substitute for chocolate is “good chocolate”. A small square of a high-quality chocolate will satisfy your chocolate cravings as well as an entire bag of Hershey’s Kisses, with a lot less sugar and fat and more antioxidants and flavinoids that are actually good for you. The very dark chocolates don’t have all that much sugar, which is better for your teeth and your insulin levels. So have some chocolate. It’s good for you.
