Can you eat chocolate while on a healthy diet? Yes, you can absolutely enjoy a little chocolate treat! Chocolate can is a satisfying dessert, and can be part of a healthy, otherwise well-balanced diet. The trick in making chocolate healthy is to prepare it yourself at home, or be super choosy with the brands you buy at the shops.
Personally, as a Nutritionist, I recommend making chocolate from scratch over store-bought. You'll be pleasantly surprised just how super easy this is (see recipe below) and that it has a heap more health benefits when homemade.
This chocolate dessert recipe is so simple, I promise you you'll want to make it every week. Since it is totally sugar-free, you can enjoy it whether you are keto, low carb or diabetic. Chocolate dessert biscuits are so easy to make with a variety of toppings from wholefood ingredients from fresh or dried fruit, crushed nuts and seeds, crumbled rice or quinoa cakes, or toasted oats. The combinations you can create are limitless!
