Homemade Healthy Chocolate
/
Making your own healthy chocolate is one of the best ways to avoid refined sugar and processed fats found in most store-bought dessert items! Cocoa powder helps in maintaining a healthy circulatory system, improves brain health, and lowers high blood pressure. It’s also high in antioxidants, promotes an alkaline pH, and is a good source of magnesium. Shredded coconut is rich in nutrients, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. It is known to boost energy levels, improve thyroid function, and reduce the risk of developing diabetes by improving insulin and blood glucose functions. Adding in maple syrup will sweeten the recipe as well as provide you with vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. Enjoy!
