Recipe by Doug DiPasquale, Holistic Nutritionist.
People try to attribute all sorts of beneficial properties to chocolate, trying to ease the guilt of their compulsive habit. Unfortunately, all the good properties attributed to chocolate are, for the most part, missing from cooked chocolate (and once you mix it with copious amounts of refined sugar it turns into something quite toxic). Raw cacao contains sulphur and magnesium and has nutrients that keep you alert and happy (phenylethylamine). Have an enzyme*-rich, guilt free chocolate breakfast!
