I love having a GC Control shake for afternoon snack. It’s gives me that extra energy when working. BUT…sometimes I like to change it up a bit and I turn my shake into tasty chocolates.
Recently. I tried preparing some homemade GC chocolates. I’ve since discovered if II pop two for my afternoon snack, and I’m good to go until dinner time.
Melt the coconut oil and mix in the peanut butter powder. Pour mixture to fill ice cube tray or mold half way. Melt the remaining coconut oil and mix in the Chocolate GC Control powder. Pour mixture to fill the ice cube tray or mold covering the peanut butter mixture. Put ice cube tray / mold into freezer. When frozen you can pop out the individual cubes, put them into and air tight container and store in the refrigerator or freezer
You can also pour onto parchment paper and break into pieces.
Sometimes when I eat something for breakfast, like cereal for instance, I find that around two to three hours later I start feeling peckish and a bit tired, instead of reaching for an ever-ready treat from the office kitchen (you know a donut or candy), I make one of these great GC Control shakes.
Not only do I love them for their taste, but they fill that “hole” and provide a boost in energy, getting me back on track. That’s because they provide me a better balance of protein and carbs that last far longer than a donut or candy bar. The link below explains why this product works so well.
This is a good start to my Friday morning! Hazelnut Coffee and the French Vanilla GC Control…mmm, mmm, good! Sometimes I mix my coffee together with GC Control Cream Brulée for a different and delicious morning treat.
Eating healthy doesn’t mean you have to constantly deny yourself of all those delicious treats and snacks forever.
