Cocoa Powder
Loaded with antioxidants and very low in calories, just 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder can add a lot of rich flavor to a healthy concoction such as a Raspberry Smoothie. When purchasing cocoa powder, look for the natural, not Dutch-process, variety. Natural cocoa powder contains more antioxidants. You can find cocoa powder in the baking aisle.
Simple Swap Idea
Swap Chocolate Syrup for Cocoa Powder
Chocolate syrup is fat free, but it’s loaded with refined sugar and calories, and doesn’t offer the antioxidant benefits of chocolate. The next time you want to add some chocolate flavor to frozen yogurt of milk, sprinkle on unsweetened cocoa podwer. One tablespoon has just 12 calories but packs big chocolate flavor.
