Dark Chocolate Dipped Strawberries
As if you needed another reason to love chocolate we have a great one- heart health! Among many nutrients, raw cacao contains magnesium which relaxes blood vessels and helps lower blood pressure; and flavonoids, antioxidants that can reduce inflammation, improve blood flow and help prevent blood clots. Strawberries also contain flavonoids called anthocyanins that lower blood pressure and LDL, and make blood vessels more elastic plus strawberries are a decent source of fiber!
