World Chocolate Day (2021)

Did you know July 7^th is World Chocolate Day? There are so many ways to consume chocolate such as chocolate bars, in coffee, as a dessert, and in smoothies. Each chocolate varies in taste and texture. For example, dark chocolate has a bitter taste which has the most antioxidants. The recommendation is to consume dark chocolate for diabetes because it helps manage the insulin the body needs to function.

Whereas white chocolate does not have cocoa at all. Instead, it has too much sugar. Regardless of what type of chocolate you consume, make sure it is in moderation. A simple cup of hot cocoa will warm you up, make you feel calm, and might make you remember your childhood carefree days. Below are resources about how to celebrate World Chocolate Day.
