Why chocolate should stay in your diet forever

I bet you never thought you’d see that heading from a health food company, but we’re not joking around! Let’s be real, chocolate cravings aren’t going anywhere, and it really just isn’t possible to ignore them forever. Next time you’re in a pickle with unquenchable cravings for chocolate, rather than ignore those cravings and hope they go away, all you need to do is simply be pickier with your chocolate selections.

With so many chocolate choices available (white, milk & dark) not to mention hundreds of bars, chocolate cakes, chocolate drinks, chocolate cereals, chocolate yoghurts and more, chocolate really is everywhere! But many of these contain additional sugars, fats & additives that are not doing our bodies any justice.

So just to be clear, most of the chocolate options you’ll find in supermarkets are a definite nutritionist no-no, but we’re here to give your some fantastic healthier chocolate alternatives to enjoy (don’t worry we’ve still included actual chocolate on the list)!

You’re probably all familiar with dark chocolate being the healthiest form to enjoy. But why? Dark chocolate has the highest percentage of cocoa solids and cocoa butter compared to milk and white chocolate. Milk chocolate contains milk powder and sugar with only a small amount of the cocoa solids and cocoa butter. White chocolate contains only sugar and milk with a small quantity of cocoa butter and no cocoa solids.
