It is not unusual for people to experience chocolate cravings even several times a day. Who doesn’t like chocolates? They are very tasty and they are good antioxidants.
However, chocolates are rich in sugar. This means that they can lead to inflammation in the system. That’s why many chocolate lovers are constantly trying to create some recipes that will satisfy their cravings, take advantage of antioxidants and avoid sugar. One of the best recipes like this is the honey and cocoa powder recipe (without sugar).
In other words, you can expect similar beneficial effects like you get from chocolate supported by the effects of organic honey. You can also use coconut oil which is rich in gelatin (excellent for the gut lining, hair and nail) and healthy, useful fats.
