Deep Dark Chocolate Fudgesicles with Greek Yogurt
An easy-to-make treat that’s cool, creamy, and super chocolatey! When my friend Nicole mentioned that 40 percent of what we do on a daily basis is habit, it really resonated. For several months, a small voice in my head had been telling me that I was eating too much sugar and that eliminating my…
