Valentines day is just around the corner and what better way to celebrate love than with cake. Chocolate cake. With Raspberries and beetroot. Yes please!

Its valentines and of course that means chocolate!

Especially rich dark chocolate cleverly paired with other nourishing ingredients that leave you feeling great.

Benefits of Beetroot

Beetroot is by far one of my favourite foods. It has a very specific earthy flavour that I love working with (and eating); and its incredibly good for us. Beetroot can go savoury or sweet.

Beetroot is packed with nutrients. Specifically folate, manganese, potassium, iron and vitamin C. It also contains plant compounds such as betanin and inorganic nitrates.

It’s the nitrates found in beetroot that take centre stage when we are looking at the benefits of beetroot. In the body, these nitrates can be converted into nitric oxide which can improve blood flow, reduce blood pressure, and increase performance (inside and outside the bedroom).

Benefits of Raspberries

Raspberries are a great source of vitamin C and fiber, and they contain small amounts of many other nutrients such as Vitamin A, B Vitamins, Vitamin E, Vitamin K, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium, phosphorus, copper, calcium and zinc. They are high in antioxidants which help reduce our risk of many chronic diseases.

Benefits of Dark Chocolate

Dark chocolate is one of the best sources of antioxidants we have and its also full of nutrients. Specifically, quality dark chocolate has iron, magnesium, copper, manganese, potassium, phosphorus, zinc and selenium.

Yes… dark chocolate is not just delicious- its really good for us too.

Benefits of Higher protein, Good fats and Fiber

When we eat a meal, snack or treat that is higher in protein, fat and fibre, it helps us to feel fuller for longer. They help to slow down the pace of digestion, the release of sugars into the bloodstream and help stabilise blood sugar levels. They have a balancing effect on our hunger hormones (reducing our hunger hormone ghrelin and increasing our satiety hormone peptide YY).
