Chocolate Smoothies

 

It’s fun to make your own chocolate smoothies at home – either for family, relatives or friends. It’s easy to make and quick to do once you have all your ingredients set out.

 

Best of all, if you can use dark chocolate, you will boost your health too.

 

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) states the nutrients of “Dark chocolate (70–85% cacao solids)” includes 1% water, 46% carbohydrates, 43% fat, and 8% protein (table).[6] In a 100 grams (3.5 oz) reference amount, “Dark chocolate (70–85% cacao solids)” supplies several dietary minerals in significant content, such as iron at 92% of the Daily Value (DV) and vitamin B6 at 29% DV (table). Dark chocolate contains 70–100% cocoa solids (nutrition table). Wikipedia.

 

Chocolate smoothies bring a lot of added health benefits, too. It’s rich in magnesium (that helps prevent hypertension, diabetes, heart disease and joint problems) and has trace elements of calcium, iron, potassium and vitamins A, B1, C, D, and E), and lowers high blood pressure.

It is also delicious (who doesn’t love chocolate?) and makes us happy because it triggers endorphin production and has serotonin (both substances that makes us feel good, content and happy). And when you include it in smoothies, yes, definite bliss.
