You might know cocoa powder from your favorite brownie recipe, but cocoa powder could be used in so many more ways! Cocoa powder actually has a lot of antioxidants, since it is made from beans, and can you help you with inflammation and heart problems — especially if you get rich dark cocoa powder. If you want to experiment with cocoa powder, try it in these favorite dishes!

If you love oatmeal or oatmeal cookies, why not add in a tablespoon of cocoa powder? Not only will it turn a delicious chocolate brown, but it will hardly add any calories, keeping your breakfasts super healthy. It will also give you that slightly chocolaty flavor that will make your mornings so much sweeter.

Coffee

Coffee and chocolate are the best of friends, so why not add in some cocoa powder to your afternoon brew? Making your own mocha could not be easier, all you have to do is add in a tablespoon or two of cocoa into your coffee grounds and stir it a bit. Brew the coffee as normal, and add in a little splash of cream, milk, or a non-dairy option and you have the perfect healthy mocha drink!
