Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Cocoa Powder

  • Metabolic Effect: Cocoa powder has antioxidant properties and supports heart health thanks to the flavonoids it contains. At the same time, thanks to its fiber content, it regulates the digestive system and provides a feeling of fullness.
  • Consumption Recommendation: You can consume it by mixing it with milk or yogurt. You can also use it in recipes such as cakes, cookies or smoothies.
  • Things to Consider: Cocoa powder may cause allergic reactions in some people. It is important for people who are particularly prone to allergies to limit their consumption. Be careful not to consume more than 1-2 tablespoons per day.
  • Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories you get from 100 grams of cocoa powder, you need to walk briskly for about 60 minutes. Alternatively, a 30-minute high-intensity workout can provide the same effect.
