5 chocolate snack ideas that are healthy

Have you noticed these days that you have more desire to snack between hours than before? Quiet, it's normal. Studies estimate that during this quarantine we can gain an average of three to five kilos per person, a consequence eating compulsively and without hunger, usually caused by boredom.

Well, we are going to give you two solutions so that you do not get bored at home and to be able to enjoy that snack between the hours without regrets. Because there are healthy snacks that you can prepare yourself and that will only take you a few minutes. In addition, the ones we propose are all with chocolate, although that is with at least 85% cocoa. Remember that this is the ideal percentage to enjoy the antioxidant benefits of cocoa, below this (although 70% may also be acceptable), the tablet is considered to have excess sugar.

So, if you are passionate about chocolate, you have to try making these healthy and super simple snacks.

1. Walnuts covered in chocolate

Actually, you can cover any dried fruit with a little chocolate, since they all provide us with healthy fats and quality nutrients. But walnuts stand out especially for being a great source of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. They are also rich in vitamin E, fiber, and antioxidants. Properties that can be enhanced with chocolate.

To do this, melt a couple of ounces of chocolate in the microwave and bathe in a handful of nuts. Let it cool down to make it solid.

2. Chocolate bread

A snack for which you only need five ingredients: 250 ml of water, a pinch of salt, 500 grams of whole wheat flour, 5 grams of fresh yeast and 85% chocolate to taste broken into small pieces. Its elaboration requires more time, but we assure you that it is worth it: mix all the ingredients and knead them into a ball. Let it sit for an hour covered with a cloth. Then give it the shape you prefer and bake 15 minutes at 180 degrees.

3. Raspberry and chocolate bonbons

Fruit is also an excellent option to mix with chocolate. For these realfooder chocolates you will need 10 grams of frozen raspberries and another 10 grams of melted chocolate. Dip the raspberries in until they are completely covered and put them in the freezer for about five more minutes before trying them.

4. Yogurt with chocolate and peanuts

There is no more mystery than mixing the chocolate and the peanuts in pieces with a natural yogurt. But even if it is a simple snack, its qualities are excellent: the result is a mixture rich in protein, calcium and antioxidants.

5. Chickpeas with dark chocolate

If you are one of those who likes to mix sweet and salty, this legume goes very well with chocolate, although at first it does not seem so. To prepare this snack you will need a pot of chickpeas already cooked and an 85% chocolate bar. Drain the chickpeas and put them in the oven for about 20 minutes at 180 degrees. Then melt the chocolate and cover the chickpeas with it. Let cool until the mixture solidifies to obtain a crispy and nutritious appetizer.
