Are you feeling sluggish lately?

It might be your body’s way of saying it needs more magnesium.

This mineral is key in energy production, muscle function, and even restful sleep.

But who says getting your daily dose can’t be a delightful experience?

Enter dark chocolate, the star of this recipe!

Recipe Benefits

  • Enjoying dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa is a tasty way to increase your magnesium intake.
  • Magnesium helps control blood sugar, strengthens bones, and promotes a healthy mood.
  • In addition to magnesium, dark chocolate is packed with antioxidants that can help safeguard your heart and brain health.
  • This recipe for chocolate-dipped strawberries is not only perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth, but it can also be a helpful addition to your diet if you’re looking to address slightly low magnesium levels as indicated by a urine test (remember, a doctor’s guidance is always recommended for any dietary changes).

Ingredients

Ingredients for 8 servings:

  • 400 g fresh strawberries
  • 100 g dark chocolate (70% cocoa content or higher)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Berries: Wash your strawberries gently and pat them dry with a paper towel. Leaving the hulls on can make them easier to hold while dipping.
  2. Melt the Chocolate: For a safe and mess-free melt, place the dark chocolate in a small heatproof bowl set over a saucepan filled with simmering water. Make sure the bowl doesn’t touch the water directly. Keep stirring the chocolate frequently until it’s smooth and melted.
  3. Dip and Decorate: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Hold the strawberry by the stem and dip half into the melted chocolate. Let any extra chocolate drip off before placing the strawberries on the baking sheet. Make sure the strawberries are not touching each other.
  4. Set and Enjoy: Let the chocolate harden completely in a cool place. These are best enjoyed the same day, as the chocolate can soften if the strawberries are overripe or stored in the refrigerator for too long.
