The Dark Chocolate Bars That Will Save You When You Start Your New Year’s Cleanse

We rounded up the best dark chocolate bars to snack on when you’re trying to be healthy but still want a treat.

When it’s time to cleanse and be all healthy and not eat cinnamon rolls for breakfast like we do all through December, we’re told dark chocolate might just be our savior if we need something sweet. To be specific, the flavanols found in cocoa may help protect your heart, lower blood pressure, and reduce inflammation. Also, if you’re going paleo or giving up dairy in 2020, dark chocolate is often naturally vegan, as there is no added dairy like there is in milk chocolate.

Still, to some, dark chocolate feels like a runner-up to whatever they really want for dessert. The higher cocoa and cocoa butter concentrates in dark chocolate can make it taste somewhat bitter compared to a Hershey’s. And choosing a bar of dark chocolate these days can feel almost as overwhelming as picking out the right bottle of pinot noir. After all, there’s the origin of the chocolate to consider, as well as the reputation of the manufacturer.

An Instant Pot Vegetarian Chili That Even Meat Eaters Will Love

The beloved Instant Pot can not only be used for slow cooking all of your favorite meals and consolidating your many pots and pans into one appliance, but also for crafting healthy meals that are guaranteed to make you feel good. Which is why Maryea Flaherty, the blogger behind Happy Healthy Mama, has created an Instant Pot cookbook geared toward anti-inflammatory meals. 

Instant Pot Duo Nova, $69.99 on Amazon

Buy Now

The ‘I Love My Instant Pot’ Anti-Inflammatory Diet” book teems with recipes that prevent and reduce inflammation. Untreated, chronic inflammation can lead to a host of diseases, but a change in diet is one of the best ways to find relief, since inflammation is often caused by processed, fatty, and sugary foods. Eating good-for-you dishes is super easy when backed by an Instant Pot, and the cookbook overflows with these kinds of recipes: coconut curry lentils, chewy cinnamon raisin granola bars, and quinoa burrito bowls.

The vegetarian version boasts a base of black beans, onions, fire-roasted tomatoes, and sweet potatoes, then liberally spiced with ancho chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika for a punch of southwestern flavors. The whole thing bubbles up in under 30 minutes, leaving you ready to eat dinner in record time and feeling good.

Sweet Potato Black Bean Chili Recipe

Southwest flavors are prevalent in this vegan chili. Ancho chili powder lends a subtle heat and smoked paprika adds a smoky depth that will leave you satisfied. Even meat lovers will be left wondering why they ever thought chili had to have beef to be amazing. The Instant Pot makes this preparation so much quicker than the stovetop and pressure cooking intensifies the flavor. 

Sweet Potato Black Bean Chili

Prep Time: 15 minutesCook Time: 27 minutesServes: 6

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 pound dry black beans
• 1 tablespoon avocado oil
• 1 medium onion, peeled and diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 medium-large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1

Instructions

1. Place the dry beans in a large bowl and cover with 5 cups water. Allow to soak at room temperature 4–8 hours. Drain the beans and set aside. (If you have canned or ready-to-go beans on hand, they only need to be soaked for 30 minutes.)
2. Drizzle the oil into the Instant Pot. Press the Sauté button, add the onion, and sauté until softened, about 5–6 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté an additional 30 seconds.
3. Add the soaked beans, sweet potatoes, chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper, paprika, cinnamon, tomatoes, stock, and tomato paste. Stir well to combine and scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the inner pot. Secure the lid.
4. Press the Manual or Pressure Cook button and adjust the time to 20 minutes.
5. When the timer beeps, let pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then quick-release any remaining pressure until float valve drops, then unlock lid.

Five Easy Ways to Eat Less Meat in the New Year

Yes, we know: Hamburgers taste sooooo good. Unfortunately, according to recent reports—including one prominently published in the journal Science—it seems that going meatless might be not only the best thing for our individual health but also, and perhaps more importantly in the long run, the best thing for our environmental health, too. But if you’re not sure where to start, here are some easy ways to eat less meat even if you’re a committed carnivore.

Why Eat Less Meat?

According to the University of Oxford’s Joseph Poore, who headed up the research team on the recent study, “A vegan diet is probably the single biggest way to reduce your impact on planet Earth, not just greenhouse gases, but global acidification, eutrophication, land use, and water use. It is far bigger than cutting down on your flights or buying an electric car.”

It’s easier to reduce your meat consumption than it is to buy a Tesla anyway, and it’s a lot more delicious, to boot. If you’re considering easing yourself toward a more plant-based diet, now is the perfect time to start experimenting on a small scale.

How to Eat Less Meat

Now, as food lovers we at Chowhound realize it’s not reasonable to cut all meat out cold turkey, and what’s the fun in that anyway? If veganism is on the horizon for you, that’s great (and we have plenty of content to help you along the way), but a little bit less goes a long way, and if we all cut back a couple of days a week we can collectively have a pretty big impact. Oh, and we’ll also save money, maybe wind up with improved health, and will probably cook more adventurously, too—happy by-products of a regular day or two of eating plants every week.  

Here are five ways to start exploring the produce aisle that won’t have you missing meat for a moment.

Buy Meaty Vegetables

Chowhound

Believe it or not, the plant kingdom has a lot of savory, even meaty-tasting options for folks who crave the salty, chewy, juicy experience of eating red meat. One of the easiest and most convincing swaps is grilling portobellos instead of porterhouse: These big fungi change into a remarkably meaty texture when cooked, and when seasoned with a bit of balsamic or Worcestershire sauce, even the most blood-hungry steak lover can find some satisfaction in a thick slab (especially with a classic steakhouse side of baked potato). Get our Barbecued Portobello Mushrooms with Black Bean and Corn Succotash recipe, or try this Easy Balsamic Garlic Grilled Portobello Mushrooms recipe.

Poke Beets! Serve over soba noodles, spoon over greens or make a poke bowl with rice & veggies. Can be made ahead for mid-week meals.

A post shared by FEASTING AT HOME (@feastingathome) on Mar 16, 2019 at 5:42pm PDT

Marshy-tasting red beets become tender and tuna-like when roasted, and chopped into small cubes they’re a perfect substitution for raw fish in a colorful, versatile poke bowl. Pieces of nori seaweed and sesame seeds add to the effect, and topped with a vinegary, soy-based dressing, these healthy veg are not just an okay replacement, but a really delicious alternative to (expensive and unsustainable) seafood.

The best thing about poke bowls is how mix-and-matchable they are, too: Try different types of beets, add grated ginger and wasabi, and experiment with different raw veg. (But don’t forget the avocado, because avocado is the best part of anything, let’s get real.) Get the Beet Avocado Poke Bowl recipe.

Take a Culinary World Tour

Lots of international cuisines eschew meat and dairy for reasons of culture, religion, location, and even economics: Taking a cue from how our global neighbors enjoy fresh and delicious food without relying on animals can teach us new ways to explore spice, and we discover new and exciting flavor combinations we would never have dreamed of if we were just eating chicken tenders all the time.

Ethiopian food, in particular, has a wide variety of traditionally animal-free dishes, and it’s convenient to make big batches of ahead of time to cut down on weeknight prep. If you’re feeling extra ambitious, try to master the art of injera, too: The spongey sourdough bread is rolled out like a crepe and used instead of utensils to eat dishes like warmly spiced mesir wat. Get the Vegan Ethiopian Trio of recipes.

Turn Beans Into Burgers

Chowhound

Concerned about cutting out iron when you cut back on red meat? Don’t worry: There’s a bean for that. Black beans are one of the top plant-based sources for iron, clocking in with 8.7 milligrams per 100-gram serving. They’re also easy to cook, inexpensive to buy canned, and they blend well with all kinds of spices and flavors—like sofrito, which is a fantastic topping to have on-hand anyway. (See? We’re looking out for you.)  Get our Vegetarian Black Bean Burger recipe, and see more great veggie burger recipes.

Remember That It’s All About the Sauce

Chowhound

Rather than mourn the loss of Buffalo Wing Wednesdays with your buddies, remember that the most exciting thing about those wings are the buffalo sauce itself, not to mention the blue cheese dip that makes the perfect hot-cold combination. The chicken was always an afterthought anyway, and who wants to gnaw around all those bones? Cauliflower is a weirdly perfect swap for chicken and makes a perfect vessel for all the sauces and dips you love. Plus, you can’t beat these little flavorful florets for their pop-ability—no choking hazard involved. Get our Buffalo Cauliflower recipe.

How Your Instant Pot Will Help You Crush the Whole30 Challenge

Save for New Year’s Eve, the holidays are officially over, which may mean that (a) you have some new kitchen gadgets to play with and (b) you’re planning on eating healthier as part of your new year’s resolutions. In case both things are true, Whole30 Instant Pot recipes may be just the thing to see you through January. Otherwise, they’re still handy for quick and nutritious dinners any time of the year.

Whole30 has been around for a decade now, yet remains a popular option for those seeking to reset their diets; you’re not meant to focus on weight or calories, just on what you’re putting in your mouth and how it makes you feel. That said, it can feel pretty daunting at first, because it forbids a lot of things, including all added sugar, alcohol, grains, dairy (except ghee or clarified butter), and most legumes—which can make it difficult to figure out meals that fit the bill while still tasting good.

Luckily, lots of people have already done that work for you, and we’ve rounded up some of the best Whole30 Instant Pot meals on the internet to help you get through the whole ordeal (er, “challenge”).

Whole30 also forbids soy sauce, but coconut aminos are a-okay and can be used as a substitute. Combined with garlic, ginger, sesame, red pepper, and beef broth, they make a great sauce for flank steak and broccoli. Serve it over cauliflower rice, since actual grains are out too.
