Is there really a healthy chocolate chip?
Categories: Diet & Weight Loss, Reviews & Products
Are you completely addicted to chocolate? Just can't seem to give it up no matter how you try?That isn't necessarily a bad thing, you just need to choose your chocolate wisely.
We know the darker the better rule, but if you can find a brand that tastes good that doesn't have any sugar added, probably you should try it.
Enter Sunspire Grain-Sweetened Chocolate Chips. These are great for snacking (try with Newman's Spelt Pretzels), baking, adding to granola and using as you would any other chocolate chip.
OK, I do not recommend a taste test next to Ghirardelli's 60% chocolate chips, but they are pretty tasty nonetheless. Not too sweet, but not bitter either, they really do make a nice substitute for the not-so-healthy chips you know you have been eating.
So, now you've made the switch, or you are at least contemplating it. You know the dark chocolate has health benefits, and the fact that the chips contain no refined sugar sure is a bonus. You've done yourself proud.
Want to feel even better about these chips? For the serving size of two tablespoons, they have only 70 calories and have only four grams of sugar, coming only from whole grain malted barley and corn.
Make your next batch of chocolate chip cookies with Sunspire's chips and see what you think -- then come and tell us about it!

i actually tried these chips by accident, and was somewhat pleased with them. Though i do prefer those Ghirardelli's 60% chips, i enjoyed keeping a bag of them around for snacking, b/c i snacked on them less (i couldn't eat as many as i can eat of "Regular" dark chips)- the flavor is pretty strong.
besides just munching on plain choco.chips, the only reason i usually have them around is to whip up a batch of vegan mousse. complete substitution for me took away from some of the rich chocolate flavor of my mousse, but using half of a bag of these chips, and regular ones made me feel good to cut SOME of the sugar.
In case anyone's interested, my vegan mousse: (melt bag of chocolate on double-boiler, then blend one package of firm silken tofu, & tablespoon of agave nector or maple syrup- to taste, with hand-blender. let set in fridge over-night. SOO easy! and SOO good!).
