When you’re living with fibromyalgia, you may often find yourself giving into sugar cravings when your fuel tank is low. Sugar does provide a quick burst of energy, but downing a candy bar or reaching for an energy drink can cause you more harm than good. Although no specific diet has been proven to improve fibromyalgia pain, getting that sugar monkey off your back could benefit your overall health and make you feel better.
Here's a quick treat you can make that is low in sugar and will give you a slight pick-me-up due to a bit of caffeine when needed. I often grab one of these on the go before my Saturday morning walks. Quick and easy to make, you can store them in freezer Ziploc bags for easy retrieval.
6 medium bananas
12 oz. bag of semi sweet chocolate chips
1 tab. butter
Toppings on hand: chopped peanuts, toasted coconut, jimmies
Cut bananas into 1 inch sections. Insert a toothpick and freeze for one hour. In a microwave, melt chips and butter. I use the 30 min. button and keep stirring after each round. Dip bananas in mixture, allow excess to drip off. Roll in desired toppings. Return to baking sheet and let freeze another hour. Drop into Ziploc bags.
