In fact, from the perspective of satisfying children's appetite, chocolate is a suitable snack. Because it is rich in fat and sugar, it provides a good taste and is conducive to satisfying people's desire for delicious food. Moreover, chocolate containing cocoa powder will contain a certain amount of magnesium, potassium and other elements, which will help to supplement minerals. Milk chocolate contains a certain amount of protein, and nut chocolate contains a certain amount of minerals. Therefore, compared with fried potato chips and sweet drinks, chocolate can be regarded as a relatively healthy snack. Of course, if you have to make a healthy list in chocolate, then dark chocolate should be better than other kinds of chocolate, and chocolate without cocoa butter should be at the bottom.
However, compared with yogurt, fruit and nut snacks, no matter what kind of chocolate, it has so little significance to health. Moreover, the content of cocoa butter and saturated fat in chocolate is extremely high. Not suitable for children with high energy intake and obesity. Because the health of snacks mainly depends on whether it can supplement the nutrition lacking in daily diet. The nutrients in chocolate are mainly sugar and fat, which does not mean that children lack more vitamins and minerals in their daily diet. Therefore, compared with fruit and yogurt, chocolate, as a snack, has lower nutritional value.
