healthy ways to enjoy chocolate for breakfast

December 17, 2016 by Amanda @ .running with spoons. 60 Comments

Hands up if chocolate for breakfast sounds like a fantastic idea!

I know this isn’t necessarily the case for everyone, but I personally have to start my day on a sweet note or I’ll be in the kitchen looking for dessert roughly 15 minutes after breakfast. And it doesn’t matter how much fibre, protein, or healthy fat I eat with my meal — my sweet tooth will bug me until it’s satisfied.

SO! I take a proactive approach and nip the cravings in the bud before they have a chance to pop up. And I swear I’m not making that up. I’ve totally come across a handful of articles stating that eating something sweet or chocolatey for breakfast can help prevent junk food binges later in the day since you’re satisfying your sweet tooth straightaway instead of spending the whole day thinking about it and letting the cravings build up to the point where you want to eat all the sweets in sight. That was a long sentence. Sorry.

Basically, chocolate for breakfast can totally be part of a healthy lifestyle… as long as you’re eating the right kind of chocolatey breakfasts. And as luck would have it, I just so happen to have a collection of healthy [and delicious] ways to enjoy chocolate for breakfast.

Hope you find something tasty!
