Get Better Pms

"Ok, so it's the time of the month, and you feel terrible and all you want is CHOCOLATE but you know the sugary-chocolate will make you feel worse (yes it will!) but you still want it! This treat will conquer the craving and give you the potassium and magnesium you need to get better ;)"

  1. I didn't find this recipe, this recipe found me. Seriously. Just the other day I was sad about not being able to eat unhealthy but enjoyable food anymore, including chocholate porridge my family insists on buying. Then I discovered this simple yet brilliant mix. Since I love banana, and cocoa is an acceptable sweetener, I was thrilled to 'cook' something again. That being said, I experimented a bit, and PERSONALLY found the addition of honey unnecessary, due to its bitter flavor. But I was never a fan of this particular product, so it might only be me. Also, after following the amount measures the first time, I added less cocoa - in fact, as little as half a teaspoon. It's enough to color the banana mush. A full tablespoon, and the only thing I taste is powder. I used extra dark cocoa, by the way. As for the banana, one medium is rather snack-sized, where at breakfast I found myself reaching for a second. What's important as well - don't crush the banana to a smoothie. Mush with chunks is far more enjoyable to chew, and makes for a longer eating session. All in all, I am very happy to have stumbled upon what I now call coconana. Definitely a delicious and healthy alternative to candy!
     
  2. Just went and made this. It wasn't bad. I added a little extra honey to it because the 1 tsp just wasn't enough for me. I could see me making this again. I'll try it again during PMS! lol!
     
  3. Incredible! I was craving chocolate in a MAJOR way and remembered this recipe. It's rich and gooey and an easy alternative to fattening chocolates. I dipped a couple of graham crackers in it for a little crunch--it was delish!
     
  4. Wow - had to try this and it was even better than I expected! Great healthier alternative to get your chocolate fix and so easy to whip up. I enjoyed mine cold - yum :) - thanks for sharing your recipe! Made for the Top Favorites of 2009 event
     
  5. oh i could kiss you. I made this the minute i saw it. its wonderful to deal with the chocolate craving. Tried it cold and heated, like it heated best. both are good though. UPDATE! It has saved me a fortune in chocolate bars, and thousands of calories to have this at hand. I did discover using premium dutch processed cocoa is the best

I love cooking! Like seriously it's become quite an obsession...:S Oh well, it's alot better than most things one could get hooked on. At least I'm keeping my friends and family happy :D I'm really concerned about health 'and stuff' so I will modify any recipe to make it low fat/low sugar/high fibre etc. Sometimes it works whilst keeping the taste, sometimes it doesn't. I guess I'm just gonna keep trying until I can make every recipe something you won't feel guilty about eating... Oh yea, I prefer using my microwave especially for baking, even though it's not even a microwave OVEN!
