Hey, Mom, I want to eat some chocolate, but is there a healthier way to eat it? Absolutely, that's a great question, baby, and there is. First, you want to make sure that the cocoa is at least 70% cocoa. That means it has more antioxidants and less sugar. And then you want to look for real ingredients. So it has to have cocoa in it. You should see something like cocoa butter or natural sweeteners like honey or even coconut sugar. And then always understand that the fewer the ingredients, the better. So now I can have chocolate? Absolutely you can. Again, just make sure that it is real chocolate and it's not candy disguised as chocolate, because you want to make sure that you're feeding your body and your taste buds. All right.
