"Valentine&amp;#x27;s Day may be over&amp;amp;#8212;but that doesn&amp;#x27;t mean your chances for eating chocolate are too (thank goodness). We sometimes think that chocolate is a &amp;quot;don&amp;#x27;t,&amp;quot; but the sweet stuff has been linked with some possible health benefits (like lowering cholesterol levels, preventing cognitive decline, and reducing the risk of cardiovascular problems). Still, it&amp;#x27;s often high in fat, calories, and sugar&amp;amp;#8212;but nutritionist Rania Batayneh, M.P.H., author of The One One One Diet, has some ways for indulging all month long. Dark chocolate has a higher percentage of cocoa in it, less sugar, and more antioxidant power than milk chocolate. You can up the nutrition in your chocolate with a snack that contains heart-healthy fats, says Rania: &amp;quot;Kind&amp;#x27;s Dark Chocolate Cinnamon Pecan bar contains whole almonds, and just 5 grams of sugar.&amp;quot; Dutch-process cocoa is also a good option! &amp;quot;I like Dutch Cocoa Somersaults&amp;amp;#8212;they pair perfectly with an afternoon latte and contain 4g of sugar.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Protein shakes with a little chocolate are a great way to get a cocoa fix without breaking the calorie bank,&amp;quot; Rania says. You can whip one up yourself using Greek or frozen yogurt, a few spoonfuls of unsweetened cocoa powder, and almond milk, or grab a premade drink on the go. &amp;quot;Svelte&amp;#x27;s chocolate protein shake is made with pure organic cocoa, fresh organic soy milk, and organic complex carbs for sustained energy.&amp;quot; Sneak some veggies into your chocolate. Rania&amp;#x27;s recipe for zucchini chip muffins contain plenty of chocolate flavor, thanks to a sprinkling of dark chocolate chips, but the zucchini also adds fiber &amp;quot;and allows you to use less flour,&amp;quot; she says. Yum. What&amp;#x27;s your favorite way to eat chocolate?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
