Ask anyone what their favorite guilty pleasure is, and the overwhelming response will be chocolate. We just can't get enough of the stuff; milk, white, fruity, we love all of it. All we need now is a healthy chocolate do we can enjoy it without the guilt.
Well guess what? There is one. Although we know that chocolate has benefits such as Antioxidants and vitamins, there is stuff in there that isn't so good for us.
The thing is we mess about with our chocolate something rotten. We get the basic product then add loads of other stuff to it, such as extra butter, sugar, milk solids etc which enhance the flavor but make it very fattening. Dark chocolate, however, doesn't have any of these added, but there is one more thing to think about.
Our bodies do not recognize chocolate as food, weird huh? Eat a bar of chocolate on its own and your body will pick up on the sugar etc and just store it, and the minerals and vitamins won't be absorbed.
It's a little known fact that dark chocolate has a very high iron content; so a perfect complement is food such a blueberries which are rich in vitamin C. This balances the nutrition and makes sure that your body absorbs the iron from the chocolate properly, and tastes delicious at the same time.
But if you take in other stuff such as fruit or nuts at the same time it will then treat the chocolate as food and you will then get the benefits. When I worked as a chocolatier I regularly consumed dark chocolate with all manner of fruits; in particular berries and nuts. A blood test showed that my levels of vitamins and minerals were perfect and I didn't gain any weight.
So you now know which chocolate to eat if you can't do without it. Forget the fat laden milk chocolate bars and reach for a dark chocolate with fruit and nuts and enjoy your treat without the guilt. One last thing, just because you know it's healthier doesn't mean you can pig out, be sensible!
