Everything’s better with chocolate…especially today for National Chocolate Day!
Not only is chocolate delicious, it’s one of the best sweets options for your teeth. Chocolate dissolves quickly in the mouth and can be eaten easily, which decreases the amount of time sugar stays in contact with teeth.
But wait – it gets better. Chocolate (in moderation) may be good for your overall health too! It’s loaded with antioxidants and it has mood-boosting qualities.
In honor of National Chocolate Day, here are some healthy ways to have a delectable day – guaranteed to make all your chocolate dreams comes true!
* Start your day with these chocolate muffins. Yes, you can have chocolate for breakfast (everything in moderation)! Especially when they’re (secretly) filled with flax, pumpkin, prunes and chomp-worthy chocolate!
* Continue the celebration with a DIY chocolate spa mask. This chocolate TREATment will moisturize, exfoliate and cleanse your skin.
* After a nutritious dinner, it’s time to whip up a decadent dessert. This dark chocolate bark provides a unique crunch, filled with protein-rich chia seeds and nuts.
Take your *sweet* time to enjoy these treats a choco-LOT. But after your cocoa coma, remember to brush and floss your pearly whites.
