Choc Fact

Cocoa is very rich in theobromine, which is known to increase muscle stimulation and energy and cause weight loss. Dark chocolate has much higher concentrations of theobromine than milk chocolate. Theobromine is a vasodilator; it widens the blood vessels thus reducing blood pressure. Consuming a small amount of good quality dark chocolate may help achieve our weight-loss goals sooner and protect our heart.


Choc Indulgence

Heat 200 millilitres of milk over a hot stove. Add a teaspoon of honey, a tablespoon of good quality pure raw chocolate powder and a tablespoon of good quality chopped dark chocolate. Allow the chocolate to melt in the milk, and when the mixture is near boiling, remove it from the heat, pour into a tall mug or glass, and sprinkle some cinnamon powder, another very healthy spice, on top. Cheers to your health!
