Today’s chocolate recipe is so good (and good for you) that you could even have it for breakfast – with a delicious smoothie on the side.
The quinoa makes it high in protein to help fight off cravings, there is coconut sugar in it – one of my top picks to replace refined sugar, and it’s just plain yummy.
