Healthier chocolate choices

CHOC Chick, the supplier of raw chocolate making kits and ingredients, is launching Blissful Blends, a range of blended raw cacao chocolate powders, sold exclusively in 240 Holland & Barrett stores across the UK.

The first two flavours, Heart Warming Cinnamon and Marvellous Mandarin, are a blend of raw cacao with natural spices to create divine hot chocolate drinks, smoothies and shakes.

Both blends are free from dairy, gluten, sugar and additives and arrive at a time when raw cacao is in greater demand than ever. Natural unprocessed cacao is full of antioxidant flavanols, magnesium, iron, vitamins and essential heart healthy fat.

Galia Orme, founder of CHOC Chick, says, “Healthy and free from options are growing trends, but customers still want variety and comfort. More and more people are choosing hot chocolate over coffee or tea. And, as their hot chocolate consumption increases, so too does their demand for more varieties and flavour combinations.

Alongside the launch of Blissful Blends, we can’t wait to get customers involved with the CHOC Crave Challenge! It is such a simple way to see fantastic results that have such a positive impact on so many different aspects of our lives.”

Lucille Tichivangana, hot drinks category manager at Holland & Barrett, adds, “We are very excited to be launching the CHOC Chick Blissful Blends range exclusively in Holland & Barrett. We can’t wait for our customers try these innovative hot chocolate products.”
