5 Surprising Foods That are Actually Good for You
5 surprising foods that are actually GOOD for you:
5. CHOCOLATE –Â You’ve probably gotten mixed messages on this one. Chocolate IS high in calories and does contain sugar, so it’s still best to enjoy in moderation. BUT chocolate (the darker, the better) is rich in antioxidants and flavonoids, which are purported to help prevent cardiovascular disease and memory loss. So if you’re going to have a treat, chocolate is the way to go!

I can eat dark chocolate all day! Do you know any healthy recipes for potatoes?
We use potatoes in a lot of things (and sweet potatoes too!) I honestly LOVE a baked potato topped with lean protein, chopped spinach, and BBQ sauce. We also dice and saute potatoes with a touch of oil, salt, and pepper and have those for breakfast with eggs and whatever veggies we feel like mixing in. This carne guisada is also pretty healthy and very filling (you could omit the flour or swap with a different thickener): https://thesoccermomblog.com/2015/08/28/classic-carne-guisada-mexican-beef-stew/
I love all these things and can’t imagine giving them up! I think the key is moderation. Can’t have too much or too often.
So true! I love all these foods too 🙂
