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 using sugar-free ingredients, 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 to make (see recipe below). Not only are these all-natural biscuits delicious and chocolatey, they are also sugar-free proving there's heaps more health benefits to think about homemade swaps for all your favourite sweet treats.

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!
