Yes, you can eat chocolate for breakfast! Only chocolate in its purest forms.

Raw cacao is the purest form of cocoa and is a very rich source of magnesium, which is required for many different functions in the body, including converting food into energy and blood glucose control. Studies also suggest this mineral may be useful for women who suffer with PMS symptoms associated with mood.

Raw cacao is also a source of the mild mood enhancer phenethylamine (PEA). Just one tablespoon provides 18 per cent of the recommended daily intake, and can be added to smoothies, porridge or homemade energy balls.

2. Eggs
