I read somewhere that the cocoa bean growers are switching to other crops so that in a few years chocolate will be rare and only for the super rich.
Anyone else read that?

Two years ago I discovered that chocolate, especially dark chocolate, gives me killer migraines. Extremely sad day for me :(.

Add a couple of tablespoons of dark cocoa powder to your banana and soy milk smoothie a luscious addition to a heart-healthy drink.Drop the soy and use real milk! That stuff is dangerous!

I consider chocolate to be one of the essential food groups.

I have a headache problem with chocolate. It’s the theobromine in the chocolate that causes the veins in the head to narrow. To get the theobromine out of my system, I left off chocolate completely for about 6 yrs. After that, it was cleaned out of my system; then I gradually could have a LITTLE BIT of chocolate. The trick is to keep it at just a small amount on a weekly or bi-weekly basis; and if the nagging headaches start up that’s my cue to back off for a couple of weeks. I like it, and have found a way to manage it. It takes being cautious which is not hard; the headaches initially were horrible; and the several years off did me a lot of good. 6 yrs. may have been overkill; but I wanted to be sure.

I’ve heard that, too. Hopefully it’s just a rumor - but I’m stockpiling just in case! :)

Better yet, use chocolate almond milk. I, too, add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to my whey protein shakes. Here's my recipe:
In a Magic Bullet, (they're about 50 bucks now and worth the price) add about 1/4 C crushed ice (if your fridge has a crushed ice dispenser)
about 1/3 to 1/2 C chocolate almond milk
3-4 heaping Tbsp vanilla yogurt (low fat but not no-fat)
1 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa
1 scoop chocolate Designer Whey brand whey powder. Blend til smooth. Put it in a red cup and drink it on your way to work. Quick, easy, tasty and relatively low in calories. This keeps me going all morning.
Sometimes I add cold black coffee and less almond milk if I have any left over from the day before for a richer taste. Coffee and cocoa powder are loaded with antioxidants.

Bummer! BUT - try white chocolates. Of course, there’s nothing especially good in there other than butter fat which will keep your fur shiny, but you can still get your fix!
All hope is not lost. :)
Lindt makes some really super white chocolate bars.

I have the same chocolate allergy that you have. The migraines were so bad that I was sure my skull was cracking. I discovered it many years ago, but I am not the least bit upset about it now. I took a taste of chocolate a couple of years ago and it tasted like mud! Nothing that I ever wanted to try again, I’m way over it!

I heard it also, but I’m afraid it may end up true. Glad to know I’m not alone in thinking of stockpiling the sweet aromatic tweet. lol
