You know dark chocolates are good for you (they’re full of antioxidants and feel-good phenylethylamine), but how do you get more in your diet? Here’s one way for each meal of the day!
Make sure to always choose dark chocolates with high cocoa content, so you can reap the most benefits.
BREAKFAST – Skip the sugar and grate a few shards of dark, unsweetened chocolate over your morning cereal to liven up your breakfast.
LUNCH – Other than sneaking in some chocolate treats after your meal, why not try finishing your lunch with a chocolate banana smoothie?
TEATIME – Your options here are plenty (chocolate tarts and muffins come to mind), but snacking on a bar of dark chocolate is just as satisfying.
DINNER – Most of us enjoy a serving of fruits after dinner, but how about dipping them in melted chocolate (see How To Make Chocolate Fondue).
SUPPER – A cup of hot cocoa is the best thing to send you off to slumberland!
Combine ½ bar dark chocolate with ½ cup milk or cream in a small bowl. Place bowl in a simmering water bath or microwave on medium for about 2 mins. Stir until smooth and keep heated on low when dipping.
