   Chocolate for breakfast? Absolutely. When Biggest Loser Chef Devin Alexander is craving chocolate in the morning, she heads straight to the blender for this quick-to-prepare favorite of hers. Though it's made with cocoa (and thus satisfies the chocolate craving), it isn't sugary-sweet, so it won't set you up to crave sugar all day.
