Dark chocolate- easy and quick recipe!

Updated: Jan 21

Discover the secret to guilt-free chocolate made in just 10 minutes!



In this blog I'm sharing homemade chocolate recipe that not only satisfies your sweet tooth but also supports your weight loss journey.

The (un)healthy Chocolate

We know that chocolate is usually quite high in sugar and calorie content. However, I firmly believe that with a bit of creativity and ingredient swaps, anything can be made nutritious, delicious and healthy. Healthy eating doesn't have to be bland or uninspiring!


The 10-Minute Healthy Chocolate Recipe:


Ingredients:


  • 3/4 cup melted extra virgin coconut oil

  • 3/4 cup cacao powder

  • 3/4 cup chopped walnuts (or any other nuts)

  • Half cup goji berries (optional)

  • 4 spoons maple syrup


Preparation:


  1. Melt coconut oil in a saucepan.

  2. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly.

  3. Pour the mixture into a container and refrigerate until set.


The Health Boosting Benefits:


This chocolate isn't just a tasty delight; it comes with lots of health benefits:

  • Cacao: Rich in magnesium, iron, zinc, and heart-protective compounds.

  • Goji Berries: A powerful antioxidant with benefits for the liver, kidney, and vision.

  • Walnuts: Anti-inflammatory, a healthy source of omega-3 fatty acids, and beneficial for cardiovascular health.


Can I use other nuts in the recipe? Absolutely! Feel free to personalise the recipe with your favorite nuts.

Are goji berries necessary? No, they're optional. Goji berries add antioxidants and flavor.

Can I use a different sweetener than maple syrup? Certainly! Experiment with honey or xylitol for a different twist.

Can I add any other ingredients? Of course. You can get as much creative as you want adding different nuts, seeds, fresh fruits, dried fruits, etc!


Enjoy!
