Dark Chocolate Frozen Yogurt

While everyone on the east coast is having a chill, here on the west coast in Southern California it is 85 degrees. Not only that, but my air conditioning unit is on the fritz. No cooking for me today! Instead I wanted to indulge in a nice cold treat. Since I have been digging in to reading multiple books lately, I decided to try to find a healthy option for my frozen craving. Enter Peruvian Power Foods. 

While superfoods have entered the health conversation in recent years, many people are unaware that some of the most powerful foods on the planet hail from Peru. Not only are these superfoods teaming with healing effects, they are also packed with flavor, transforming ordinary, everyday healthy meals into the extraordinary.

In the book it talks about how chocolate aids weight loss, is anticancer, heart healthy, helps manage diabetes, lowers cholesterol, strengthens immune system, and supports brain health. 

I don't know about you, but someone doesn't have to tell me twice to eat chocolate. It is healthy... dig in!
