In Chocolate Paradise



Recommended Posts

This is actually kind of funny. I ordered the 10 lb option of chocolate Paradise energy squares thinking I would get 10 1 lb bags. It was cheaper to order it this way.

Nope!!

They sent me a 10 lb big ol' plastic bag of chocolate energy squares. Literally enough to fill a small wheelbarrow. So here I am with 10 lbs of mana sitting in front of me in an open bag and I was grabbing big handfuls of it, laughing manically like I won the lottery, letting them fall through my fingers.

Now I know you guys are salivating now. :)

It truly was a massive amount of energy squares!! I ended up stocking them away into some old Protein Powder containers and a couple freezer gallon bags. I am guilty of sampling the goods a little too much ( no worries though cross fit in an hour) :( I bought these as Snacks for before my fitness activities, 2 squares at a time. Probably won't be ordering the 10 lb option anymore.

Now honestly tell me: what would you do with 1o lbs of chocolate paradise energy squares sitting right in front of you?

Are they really that good? I have never tried anything "health related" that tastes good when its chocolate flavoured.

Don't know what they are, but if I liked them, I'd be getting them the hell out of my face, lol! Probably freeze them :)

I haven't tried the chocolate energy squares. So I'll pretend I have a ten pound bag of my beloved caramel calcium chews - or better yet....my even-more-beloved Quest Chocolate Brownie Protein Bars. Now that's a party!

Yup - these little bundles of energy are really good and provide good carbs and fats for those hard workouts. I would not eat them as a regular snack though because 2 are 120 calories. They can be a little addicting so you need to understand who is the master and who is the slave when eating these. You can order them off nuts.com. They work really well to fuel the legs before and during a long run (45 minutes and up).

Interesting question. Each standard pack of chocolate energy squares is 1 lb and contains about 15 squares. If my bag contains 10 lb then there are 150 squares. Each square is 60 calories making the grand total 9000 calories. Not really that bad considering the amount of nutrition per cubic inch you can derive from it.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
