****If you are on the bikini body watch your choices. As the program goes on your choices get tighter due to the advanced nature of your goals. As the weeks change so do your snack and meal options!!!
Cocoa Powder – You can add 1 Tbsp of cocoa to anything that is on-plan to give it a chocolate flavour. 1 Tbsp of cocoa at a meal or snack is considered on-plan and just a condiment.
Make chocolate protein powder – add 1 tbsp of cocoa to your protein powder followed by 1 packet of stevia to sweeten.
Unsweetened chocolate almond milk – switch it up and try this no-sugar added chocolate treat. To make it sweet you will have to add stevia if that’s what you’re looking for. This is great in shakes.
Protein Shakes – a great meal 2 (mid-morning snack) option is unsweetened almond milk, protein powder, ½ banana, 1 tbsp of cocoa powder and 1 packet of stevia. Blend together and enjoy. We call this the Funky Monkey Protein Shake.
Afternoon Protein Shake – If you’re looking to have a chocolate protein shake for meal 4 or 6 (afternoon or after supper snack) simply remove the banana from the recipe above and add 1 tbsp of peanut butter. Here you will have your healthy fat, protein and chocolate.
