quick and super healthy chocolate porridge
I know it sounds strange, but is chocolate healthy? Yes, it can be! This chocolate strawberry porridge is 100 percent healthy, but it tastes so much like dessert. It's the perfect way to start your day.
Why should I make this breakfast?
You need to try this meal. It only takes 5 minutes to make. The flavors of chocolate, strawberry, oatmeal, vanilla, and dates combined are mouthwatering. The dates make this meal extra sweet; the strawberries are juicy, and the chocolate is heavenly.
I love berries, especially for breakfast, but let me tell you, strawberries are one of my favorite fruits out there. They are colorful, deliciously sweet, and sometimes sour (I love that), contain a lot of water, and are so low on calories. I don't count calories, but this is good to know. But most important are the nutrition facts of the berry. Strawberries have a lot of vitamin C, manganese, and a decent amount of folate. They are the perfect fruit if you're looking after your heart health and blood sugar control.

Let's talk about chocolate...
Cacao is a very healthy fruit in my country, where it is available everywhere. The cacao powder we buy in our stores tastes very different from the ones you can find, for example, in the Dominican Republic.
You can taste a vast quality difference.
