Nutella, the delicious hazelnut and chocolate spread, has always been big in the fitness community. Many people view it as a healthier way to battle their sweet tooth, with it containing less calories and more key vitamins and minerals than a chocolate bar. It can keep people sane on a strict diet when used in moderation and can be used as a treat as well.
However, Nutella can’t really be labelled an out and out health food, as it is higher in sugar and calories than some other, more traditional healthy snacks. If you want to use Nutella as part of a well balanced and healthy diet, that is fine, however, more and more people are wondering “How do can I make homemade nutella?”, “Is there a healthier version of nutella?”, “Can Nutella be good for me?”
