The research (which thrills me personally) was led by Larry Stevens, a Northern Arizona University psychologist, and involved looking at the effects of
eating dark chocolate on the brain, using an EEG machine to measure brain activity.
Not exact matches
This recipe is using chopped up
dark chocolate, and
dark chocolate just happens to be one of the foods you can
eat on the Paleo diet, and compared to milk
chocolate it's far better for you.

I am a vegan, so am
on a plant - based diet, but I do
eat a little
dark chocolate.
I usually keep a bar of
dark chocolate on my desk and
eat one square each day.
Now it just so happens that I had 70g of
dark lavender
chocolate lying about; I'd found this too strong and soapy to
eat on its own, so it was awaiting just such an occasion as this.

We are
on the same wavelength (I've got a kale recipe going up tomorrow), and the whole «no cookies» thing would drive me over the edge I just
eat dark chocolate and convince myself it's healthy... or healthier.

I've tried snacking
on a few squares of coffee - studded
dark chocolate and banana bread made with (decaf) coffee grounds (my coffee - hating husband
ate it and didn't even notice there was coffee in it)(HA), but I'm never fully satisfied.
Before you zoom
on down to the recipe... make a stop over and check out this super, healthy, rich tasting Double
Dark Chocolate Banana Snack Cake (We can't stop
eating it!)
It was
on those drives and at that Starbucks that we fell in love with
Dark Chocolate Cherry Lattes (this was totally before my clean
eating days, folks).
Just made these to exact recipe specs, choosing tahini (Trader Joes organic) vs coconut oil and
dark chocolate chips with only one exception - I put one Sweet and Spicy pecan (Trader Joes)
on each top before baking mainly for looks (and because I look for excuses to
eat them).
These
dark chocolate cherry energy bites are everything your little heart can possibly desire
on your clean
eating lifestyle!

So here I am at 9PM
on a Tuesday,
eating dark chocolate nonpareils in bed and getting ready to binge watch start season three of OITNB (by the way, my friend wrote a brilliant piece
on the show)(which I don't recommend reading unless you've started season three or thoroughly enjoy spoilers, like me).
Use the very best
dark chocolate you can, one that you would
eat on its own.
I usually
eat a toasted, salted almond with it and I think next time I'll put almonds
on the coconut layer before adding the
chocolate on top — kind of like an Almond Joy with
dark chocolate!
And to be really, really honest: I actually don't just
eat a spoonful of
Dark Chocolate Dreams; I make a big, fat PB sandwich
on whole wheat bread with a sliced banana or organic strawberry preserves — I love that with a glass of skim or 1 % milk.
Cocoa nibs are the source of all the health benefits of
dark chocolate (read my post on 5 Reasons to Eat Chocolate for Breakfast if you want more infor
chocolate (read my post
on 5 Reasons to
Eat Chocolate for Breakfast if you want more infor

Dark chocolate is the way to go if you plan
on eating chocolate.
Compared to people who'd
eaten the milk
chocolate bar, those who'd snacked
on the
dark chocolate showed «small enhancements in visual acuity and large - letter contrast»
on the vision test, the researchers reported.
«I have to
eat dessert every day of my life, even if it's just a piece of
dark chocolate,» says Ali Larter, nibbling
on an afternoon snack of fresh fruit at a Beverly Hills café.
By
eating local fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, organic meat and a touch of
dark chocolate, the wall will come crumbling down
on its own, making your body an asset.
A study was done
on Italian men and found that Italian men that
ate an ounce of
dark chocolate had healthier lab markers.
I prefer to
eat extra
dark chocolate on its own.
In one 2012 study out of San Diego State University, people who
ate about an ounce and a half of
dark chocolate (with 70 percent cocoa) daily for two weeks had lower levels of bad cholesterol and higher good cholesterol than those who nibbled
on white
chocolate, which contains zero cocoa.
I am a vegan, so am
on a plant - based diet, but I do
eat a little
dark chocolate.
I can personally vouch it will be the best dip for apples, perfect
on toast with sliced bananas,
on top of oatmeal, a smoothie bowl topper, mixed with Greek yogurt, your classic PB&J (never too old for that...),
on top of
dark chocolate as previously mentioned, and simply
eaten by the spoonful if all else fails.
The only processed food I
eat on a regular basis is
dark chocolate, and that's one of the healthiest foods around.
In the study, researchers looked at the effects of
eating 1.4 ounces (40 grams) of
dark chocolate every day for two weeks
on blood and urine measures of stress in 30 healthy adults.
Dark chocolate has health - promoting antioxidants, so depending
on how much you
eat per day, you may want to wait for more evidence.
And because it's mostly strawberry you're
eating, it's actually quite healthy, just make sure you use
dark chocolate to cut down
on those added sugars.
I used to
eat grains, nuts, seeds, and
dark chocolate on a daily basis, but for the past 1 — 2 weeks I have only been indulging in scant amounts of sprouted and fermented almond butter, and unsweetened
chocolate.
I have an inexplicable urge to
eat candy when I travel, so I like to have some antioxidant - rich
dark chocolate bark
on hand as a semi-responsible indulgence.
By
eating dark leafy greens, seeds, nuts, bananas, tofu, black beans, and even
dark chocolate on a regular basis, you can keep your levels high.
If you can overcome your tendency to focus
on present, immediate pleasures (like having those cupcakes) and instead delay your gratification and in fact find pleasure in new healthy behaviors (like
eating dark chocolate squares instead), you will be setting yourself up, ironically enough, for more short term AND long term good health!

dark chocolate is, indeed, good for you, read up on it in my 11 REASONS TO EAT MORE DARK CHOCOLATE p

TS: Surrounded by my family and the best of my friends
on a tropical island with exotic palms, our skins glistening in the sun, feet promenading through the hot sand,
eating mangos and strawberries and
dark chocolate and sushi, drinking mango and rum, listening to music inspired by drums, and dancing and laughing.
Whether participants
ate milk
chocolate or
ate dark chocolate with a glass of milk
on the side, they didn't experience the same health benefits as those who
ate plain, dairy - free
dark chocolate!
