Got a fever that only your favorite chocolate/peanut butter combo can cure? Step away from the peanut butter cups! Christy Maskeroni, a nutritionist at Clay Spa, has a better, smarter, just-as-decadent solution.
Top 1 slice of whole wheat toast with 1 tablespoon of natural peanut butter and 1/2 tablespoon of dark chocolate chips. Warm in toaster oven until the chocolate and peanut butter melt together. "This mouthwatering snack has the right mix of fiber, fat and protein to keep you smiling and satisfied," says Maskeroni.
Compare the two craving killers for yourself:Peanut Butter/Chocolate Chip Toast: 195 calories, 5 grams of protein, 20 grams of carbohydrates (5 grams from sugar), 3 grams of fiber, 12.2 grams of fat. 2 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups: 235 calories, 5 grams of protein, 25 grams of carbohydrates (20 grams from sugar), 2 grams of fiber, 14 grams of fat.
