Chocolate 100
Low GI 0
My attempt to convert "First snack time of the day" to a low GI one has been a total disaster. (hang head in shame)
Time to pull out the old low GI cookbook - "Eating for Sustained Energy 2" by Gabi Steenkamp RD (SA) and Liesbet Delport RD (SA)
Low and behold a "Cakes, breads, biscuits and rusks" section. I am saved!
