Chocolate lover or not – having some of the world’s finest treat on Valentine’s Day is kind of a given. But here’s the deal – this year you can have not one, not two, but three chocolatey treats without feeling like you’re cheating. I hunted down some healthy products and recipes that had me literally scanning the nutrition facts several times. Because let’s be honest – if it doesn’t taste good I much rather eat the real deal now and then figure out how to burn it off later. But that won’t be you this year – indulge indulge indulge. Healthy, chocolatey goodness coming right up.

Take Your Vitamins Already

If you take a dietary supplement and eat chocolate everyday (no judgement – I do), then you can start combining the two thanks to Adora – a decadent chocolate calcium supplement. Glory! No more chalky calcium chewables that taste like Tums yall. At only 30 calories per disk (this is not a typo), Adora Calcium Supplements are made with delicious organic milk and dark chocolate. Plus they provide you with 100% of your daily calcium requirements in just two servings. That’s right – you can eat two of these babies boo. And if that’s not enough, Adora now has double the amount of vitamin D3 for enhanced calcium absorption. So yeah – this is clearly a treat that’s not a cheat. Your sweet tooth and your bones will be so happy!

Chia Seed Pudding For Your Puddin’

You can eat this healthy pudding every single day if you wanted to hun. Chia seeds are high in protein and a great source of fiber. Plus loaded with tons of vitamins and minerals like B vitamins, phosphorus, manganese, and zinc. Annnd they are a good source of calcium and omega 3 fatty acids. So with that said get ready to have your mind blown with this delicious, nutritious and super filling treat.

Ingredients

2 tbsp chia seeds

1/2 cup almond milk (or whatever kind of milk/milk alternative you like) I actually like Almond Breeze “Hint Of Honey”

1 tbsp cocoa powder

1/2 tsp vanilla

Honey/Agave (optional)

Directions

Easy as 1, 2, 3. All you have do is literally mix all the above ingredients together. For a long time, cause your forearms may burn out before the cocoa incorporates – but don’t give up. Mix mix mix. Then once everything is mixed, cover and leave out on your counter for 20 minutes. Like go eat dinner and then comeback for dessert. Or you can leave it in the fridge overnight and partake in this yummy treat the next day. Since the chia seeds will continue to absorb the milk you may need to add a bit more milk before diving in. Top with fresh strawberries (or whatever fruit you’re into) or eat it plain.
