A wise woman once said “life without chocolate is just an existence”. We could not agree more! This easy Dark Chocolate Coconut Rough recipe from our 28 Day Challenge is crunchy, creamy and delicious. Since we tried it, we wouldn’t dream of living without it!
Restrictive diets and eating plans will tell you chocolate isn’t an option. That’s where Lose Baby Weight is different: you can include healthy treats into your healthy eating plan, without the GUILT!
We’ve made our coconut roughs with dark chocolate as it has more health benefits, less fat and less sugar than milk or white chocolate, which is better for losing weight. But if you are feeling like a little extra indulgence you can also use milk or white chocolate (just remember this will change the nutritional information) – enjoy!
