Chocolate Strawberries
While you salivate making these chocolate-dipped strawberries, bear in mind that you will be boosting your body with antioxidants, aiding digestion, and reducing any constipation you may have.
Apart from being packed with nutrients such as vitamins A and C, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, folate, and calcium, strawberries will help maintain regular bowel movements with their fiber content.
Fiber promotes stool movement in the intestinal tract, aiding the relief of constipation.
Chocolate is rich in iron, minerals, and antioxidants and is good for gut health, increasing the microbiome’s diversity and reducing inflammation, which is essential for good health. Remember, commercial chocolate is full of chemicals, which does the opposite!
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup or 200g of dark chocolate chips
- 1 tsp of coconut oil

Your chocolate strawberries are ready! Enjoy!
