If you’re anything like me, you can never have too much chocolate. It’s simply the most heavenly flavor to exist. That being said, eating chocolate all day isn’t a recipe for feeling your best.
When the chocolate cravings hit, but it’s not time for dessert, try this Homemade Chocolate Coconut Granola! Your chocolate cravings will be satisfied by the raw cacao without the blood sugar spike and crash. Think almond joy bar meets more satisfying snack.
