BEVERAGES

So everyone knows that veggies are very good for us; and we have heard that chocolate and coffee are also beneficial. Well, I was impressed with this article in Inc Magazine about just how great coffee and chocolate are! According to the report they cited from the Neurochemical Research Magazine, coffee and chocolate make us smarter, as well as healthier!

I’m ALL in! Not only are chocolate and coffee delicious in a multitude of ways, together they are dynamite! (Of course, keeping the flavors in the mix without adding spoonfuls of sugar (even raw sugar and honey end up as glucose, or fructose, in our digestive systems) or piles of whipped cream! Actually, I use a coffee maker that froths milk, and it works just as well as richer options, especially when sprinkled with cinnamon or your preferred “kick it up” spice!

It’s also good with a “little something” added to make your beverage a dessert – just leave the whipped cream in the kitchen and touch it up with a bit of light cream, if you must!
