Healthy Swellness: Dr. Joey’s Skinny Chews

May 19, 2014

I tend to gravitate towards savoury over sweet, but every once in awhile I crave sugar — whether that’s a cupcake, an almond croissant or some chocolate.

And I often find these cravings hit me late at night, and digging into some Haagen Dazs at 1 a.m. (which I will do if I have any in my freezer) isn’t ideal — or I can look forward to needing a new wardrobe. And while I love any excuse to shop, clothes in bigger sizes isn’t how I want to do it (never mind the health implications of regularly choosing down late at night!).

So I was keen to try Skinny Chews, but had mega reservations about how they’d taste.

These chews are less than 20 calories each, and contain eight ingredients, the main one being chicory root insulin fibre. They’re gluten-free and contain no artificial sweeteners or colours. and they’ve been created by Joey Shulman to help satisfy your need for chocolate cravings and nighttime eating.

But would they be free of flavour? I was relieved to discover that they are tasty, in fact, they taste very much like a Tootsie Roll (which I always used to save as a special treat when I got them trick or treating, didn’t you?!).

Individually wrapped, they’re easy to tote around in your purse; makes it easier to skip dessert when out for lunch since you already have your sweet fix right in your Céline handbag.
