Chocolate made healthy for Valentine’s month

Sujata Din

Valentine’s Day may have just gone by but the love of chocolates will linger on for many. So, let’s make this month a celebration of self-love and self-care – a nod to the day of love.

How often do we put everyone else first, only to feel exhausted, stressed, or uncomfortable in our own bodies? But here’s the truth: Caring for yourself is the greatest act of love you can give — not just to yourself, but to your family too.

Let’s look beyond the sugar-laden chocolates and treats that spike blood sugar and contribute to weight gain and make a small but powerful shift, starting with a heart-healthy dessert that nourishes both your body and your soul.

This creamy, chocolatey treat is packed with heart-loving nutrients:
✅ Chia seeds, a good source of fibre and omega-3s for heart and gut health
✅ Cacao, an antioxidant

✅ Avocado and coconut, both are healthy fats.
