Food for thought...

since almonds are a good source of protein - does that mean if I eat chocolate covered almonds I am getting a good serving of protein? :

[boogiemonster]

Most definitely!

Plus, my midwife said yesterday that mums who eat chocolate have calmer babies.

In fact, I'd say it's CRUCIAL that you eat the chocolate almonds! Do it! Quickly!

[crystalalene]

Absolutely!
I count it as one.
And if dd wants chocolate, I give her those since she will at least also get the almonds (just no chocolate near bedtime, we both have a sensitivity to caffeine).

[*Lindsey*]

I definitely think it's the best of both worlds, Christine!

[Momma Aimee]

YES

[Curlita]

Well, that's the impression I was under yesterday while I consumed a bag of them...

[*GreenMama*]

Don't forget to count the calcium from the chocolate too! You know we pregnant ladies need LOADS of calcium!

[veganjoy]

...and the magnesium. Really, I think you're obligated to birth a baby that's calm and full of calcium and magnesium.

[Monkeybutt]

I agree, it counts!

[Mama Bear]

<<<smooch>>>

I love you all!!!

[Curlita]

So can anyone tell me what chocolate covered pretzels are good for?

[brooklyn_warbler]

I'm making DH dark chocolate covered strawberries for his birthday tonight. Strawberries are high in vitamin C, right?

there is, as far as i'm concerned, very little that's unhealthy about a dark chocolate covered strawberry. : i mean it!

[yogamama74]

MMMMMMM, I think I'll pick some up tomorrow....

[GinaRae]

Umm... I had yellow cupcakes with chocolate frosting tonight for my son's birthday. Amd I still excused?

[Curlita]

Don't yellow things have... vitamin A?

[GinaRae]

I don't think this counts, but it did have egg in it... protein!

[pixiesmommy]

Pretzels have folic acid, right?

I ate half a pumpkin pie I baked at midnight just for me.... for the iron, of course.
