This unusual combination works surprisingly well, with the pureed beets providing sweetness and moistness while the dark chocolate masks the beets' slightly earthy flavor. Gluten-free, dairy free and sweetened only with a smidgen of acacia honey, this is a nutrient-packed treat that you can even serve dinner guests, ideally accompanied with raspberry coulis. One of my friends scatters the top with crushed pink peppercorns for added oomph. (For more information about Zest for Life, check out www.zestforlifediet.com.)
