Chocolate Sorbet
Scientists have discovered that dark chocolate, which is what this sorbet recipe calls for, contains significant amounts of flavonoids such as catechins and procyanidins.

In order to maximize the antioxidant effects of chocolate, this sorbet is made with rice milk and water instead of cow's milk. See the Recipe

The anthocyanins also enhance the effects of the vitamin C contained in blueberries. See the Recipe
