Taste Test Tuesday: 5 Bites of Heaven
AddThis Social Bookmark Button

Dove Miniatures come in vanilla, double chocolate and my favorite...cherry royale!

If you ever find yourself face to face with a Dove Miniature, (individually wrapped chocolate covered ice cream pieces) promise me you won't shove the whole thing in your mouth and swallow it within about 10 seconds.

Instead, get in a "mindful" space, just be aware of your taste buds and what they are tasting, and literally take small mouse-like bites, savoring each small bite. Roll the small bite around with your tongue and really experience the creaminess and the hint of dark chocolate blanketing each bite.

I was able to enjoy about 5 heavenly bites in one Dove Miniature. What did
these 5 bites of heaven cost me? Are you ready?
60 calories
4 grams of fat
2.5 grams saturated fat
5 mg cholesterol
6 grams of carbohydrate
1 gram protein
A small price to pay, don't you think?
