Chocolate: A super food inspires a happy mood

February 9, 2016 By marketeditor

 

Did you know …

That chocolate has more than antioxidants? According to the Eating Well newsletter published by Price Chopper, chocolate evokes smiles and supports cognitive health. Its antioxidants can benefit the heart, especially when combined with other healthy items such as those featured in the Valentine’s Day Parfait below.

Valentine’s Day Parfait

On Valentine’s Day, say I love you with a parfait.  Place layers of yogurt, homemade chocolate
sauce, granola and your favorite in-season fruit in a glass or bowl.  Yogurt, granola, and fruit are available at the Saratoga Farmers’ Market.

Homemade chocolate sauce sweetened with honey is easy to make.
