This time of year I start craving hot chocolate.  Something warm, sweet and nourishing that’s healthy.

Buy good quality cocoa or cacao powder.

Cocoa contains beta-carotene, calcium, zinc, iron, potassium, chromium and in particular magnesium that can help with bone mineralization, muscle contraction and immune function.
