The 10 Best Prebiotic Foods for Any Diet

Cocoa

Cocoa powder and chocolate chip on wooden table.

Occasionally, articles claim that chocolate is healthy. While the sugar and fats in most chocolate products make this less than true, the claim is not completely unfounded.

Cocoa powder is the result of crushing cocoa beans and removing the cocoa butter. It also contains flavanols with notable prebiotic properties such as lowering the risk of type 2 diabetes. People who want to add some chocolate flavor to their diet without all of the sugar can add a little cocoa powder to their oatmeal, smoothies, or yogurt.

alive prefers to use body-positive wording. So we typically avoid talking about weight loss, and rather, frame it around healthy weight management or maintenance.

Sounds good! I don't love when any food claims to help with weight loss anyway since it's .... not really true at that base level!
