Easy Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries Recipe

If you follow me on social media you know I LOVE food.

I don’t eat snacks every single day because I’m often satiated by the main meals I eat and I think it’s important to listen to your body — however, if I am hungry, I eat!

These chocolate-dipped strawberries are such a great snack and perfect for sharing with a loved one. Strawberries are packed with nutrients including vitamin C and magnesium and there are also benefits of dark chocolate — it contains antioxidants, iron and magnesium. 

This snack is easy to make, and you could try it with different fruits — enjoy!

A balanced approach to food means enjoying occasional treats!

For me, preparing easy, healthy snacks ahead of time is one way to make sure I’m able to maintain a balanced approach to the foods I eat. 

Having healthy snacks on hand means I always have different options if I feel like eating between meals. 

It’s also important to have sweet treats occasionally too — so enjoy these chocolate-dipped strawberries as part of a healthy, balanced diet!
