One of the blessings of being in contact with so many people in the HCG diet community through my blog is they share things with me- whether it’s their hCG weight loss results, a tip for traveling while on the diet, or a snack idea.
A fellow hCGer named Andrea emailed me the other day with something to share. She said, “Here’s something that helped keep me a bit sane… I cut up strawberries in pieces and place in a baggie, add a few drops Chocolate/Raspberry Stevia, and freeze the individual baggies. Sort of like a frozen chocolate covered strawberry snack! ”
Ummmm, yeah girl!
I asked her permission to try it out and post it on here if it was that good. Obviously it was, since you’re seeing it here now. Call me crazy, but it really did taste like chocolate covered strawberries.
Not only that, it’s what I like to call a “no-recipe” recipe- meaning it doesn’t really take any work. That’s the kind of cooking I like! Especially for a snack. So THANKS again Andrea! (personal thank you from my son in the recipe video).
Feel free to PIN this pic btw! I went to all this trouble to make it pretty, so do it or else! Just kidding….kinda.
Check out my other 8 calorie Lemon Slushie Recipe for P2 and how I made my different flavored Stevia Waters as well!
The quick way (aka the I need to just get this done so I can cook dinner for the kids way):
- Cut 1 quart Strawberries in half into a quart ziplock bag
- Sprinkle 2-3 droppers full Chocolate Raspberry Liquid Stevia
- Close bag and kind of “smoosh” around to spread the stevia on strawberries.
- Freeze- lay bag somewhat flat so strawberries don’t stick together too much.
- Eat- on P2 the amount is probably 5-ish strawberries per serving.
The long way (aka the slightly prettier result, for a more “decadent” experience way):
- The first key to making it take longer is do it with your kids or grandkids!
- Cut 1 quart Strawberries in half and place cut side up on cookie sheet
- Place 2-3 drops of Chocolate Raspberry Liquid Stevia
on each strawberry
- Kind of smooth it across the top with finger
- Stick in the freezer
- Eat! A P2 size serving is about 5-ish strawberries I’d say.

Yup, I want this!
These are great unfrozen too! I eat them at least 3 times per week. (Or as long as the strawberries hold out!)
I discovered an even easier (and faster!) instant fix–I just cut up the strawberries into small bits, sprinkle with stevia and plain cocoa powder, and it coats the berries and tastes delicious. I also found it easier to eat than frozen strawberries.
Where did you buy chocolate stevia???
Hi Vickie!
Rayzel bought the Chocolate Raspberry Liquid Stevia from Amazon. There’s a link that you can click on the post. 🙂

A) Ha, your way is so elegant compared to mine! I have always just put chocolate stevia on frozen strawberries. I will have to try your way. B) Your son is awesome and I laughed knowingly when I saw that he was paid with Thomas toys. C) Your site is great!
I can’t wait to try these. And your son is so cute – love how he did this with you.
@KJEB aww thanks!!
