It sounds wild doesn't it? But the well researched fact is that
dark chocolate, in moderation, can be enjoyed even if you are on a high
blood pressure diet. That dark chocolate will help lower blood pressure
naturally is information that has been reported by the Journal of the
American Medical Association.
But just because dark chocolate really is good for you does not mean you should go on an all-out chocolate binge. But it does mean you can add a reasonable amount of dark chocolate to your diet without harm. Adding it to a fruit and yogurt smoothie recipe is an ideal way to combine chocolate with the healthy proteins, vitamins, and nutrients in a healthy smoothie meal or desert.
Here is a fruit and yogurt smoothie recipe combining bananas, which are rich in potassium, low-fat yogurt, which is a good source of protein, and light soy milk which is very rich in calcium with dark chocolate syrup.
This smoothie mix is healthy, delicious and very easy to make for an afternoon snack or even desert. Or, if you have kids who try to sneak out without breakfast, try this smoothie recipe tomorrow and you will find them asking for more!
