It's important to limit chocolate consumption. Our recommendation, take one square and let it melt in your mouth slowly, so you can savor every tiny bit.
Have chocolate as a treat after a meal, or when you need to implement a little extra self-care and show yourself some love. Note, one ounce of dark chocolate contains about 12 milligrams of caffeine, so don’t eat more than that.

Reset360’s Chocolate All-in-One Shake or making it a Super Greens Chocolate Shake with a scoop of powered superfoods (sounds weird but tastes great).
