Dessert doesn't HAVE to involve chocolate per se, but why wouldn't it?!
Although an overindulgence in anything can be bad for your health, your blood sugar, and your baby, there should definitely be a balance between eating healthy and enjoying a sweet treat every now and then - especially during your pregnancy and as a new mommy!
Luckily for you, we've rounded up 10 of our favorite chocolate desserts that over deliver on taste while staying under 200 calories per serving. So mama gets her chocolate, and everybody else is safe from the hangry pregnant woman. ;) (Hypothetically speaking, right?)
