How to make it
Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally. Allow to cool slightly.

Decorate with a little orange zest and grated chocolate.
Why should I have it?
Known for their muscle-healing vitamin C content, oranges are also packed with photochemical and flavonoids that protect muscles from oxidative damage caused by exercise. Tofu also contains muscle-building protein and calcium, as well as isoflavones, which can block the female hormone oestrogen and make testosterone more prevalent.
