4 COCOA POWDER RECIPES YOU SHOULD TRY!


Can you remember the day you were diagnosed with Diabetes ? Im so sure your doctor hammered on the fact that you need to cut out sugary and sugar laden drinks and food from your diet.

Included in that “avoid list” is most people’s favourite drink-Chocolate beverages.

You may have been told to switch to bland tasting black and /or green tea, which requires  getting used to!

Sha, no need to get deprived of chocolates. As a matter of fact, COCOA IS A SUPERFOOD!

-It naturally improves your mood,
-It is so very rich in anti-oxidants (which protect you from the harmful effect of elevated blood sugar).
-It is also so rich in Magnesium which lowers your blood pressure naturally and helps your body’s natural detox system.
-It also helps to ease post workout pain.


PS; Dairy milk has been shown to reduce the anti-oxidant levels of cocoa very significantly.
If you have switched to taking cocoa powder, here are 4 interesting ways to enjoy the rather bitter taste of cocoa. These include the recipe for making dark chocolates in the comfort of your home.
