Avocado + Chocolate = AMAZING!
What?! I know, I was skeptical too, but our performance dietitian at Driven introduced me to this treat and I thought it sounded a little suspect, but I am now a true beilver!
The avocado creates a creamy texture and has many of health benefits such as fiber, vitamins ns and minerals such as folate and potassium which are important for DNA synthesis and electrolyte balance. Not to mention the dark chocolate adds antioxidants. This recipe is packed with healthy fats, easy to make and paleo friendly (Note in the picture above I topped it with granola and hemp which are not considered paleo).
Enjoy!
