Anyone who knows me knows that although I’ve maintained a fifty-five-pound weight loss for close to twenty years, I proudly eat chocolate every day. Here’s a great example of how I can face my chocolate craving head-on, even at breakfast!

　　

Ingredients

makes 1 serving

　　1 medium banana, cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds

　　1/2 cup Fiber One vanilla or naturally sweetened fat-free vanilla or banana yogurt

　　2 tablespoons low-fat granola without raisins

　　1 1/2 teaspoons chocolate syrup

　　

Step 1

Add the banana pieces to a small, deep bowl. Top them with the yogurt, then the granola. Drizzle the chocolate syrup on top. Serve immediately.
