Today we ran across another company excited about the chocolate energy product it was selling. It's literally a piece of chocolate that includes some caffeine and some B and D vitamins, so we guess it probably tastes nice.
But that's not all it has. There's sugar, corn syrup, and d-mannitol as a sweetener. And this is from a store that carries tons of healthy products, so if you didn't read the label you might think this was a good way to get your vibe on!
At just $7, it's a pretty great deal ... until you realize it's $1 per serving. (Yes, just 7 servings.) And for yet another unhealthy energy product.
If you don't mind, we'd like to suggest CaPow! as an alternative. This is not a chocolate candy (it's a tablet you swallow), but it's still made from cacao (the basis of chocolate). So it packs in the nutrients of real cacao without the problems of sugar, milk, or other chocolate ingredients.
It also teams cacao up with African mango extra, PEA (the feel good ingredient), and chromium, along with the caffeine of about one cup of coffee. These ingredients balanced together promote an emotional lift and an even feel of energy rather than the jitters of straight coffee.
Some of the ingredients promote weight management as well, though we would see that as a side benefit. The core of this product is feeling great and feeling full of energy. And all at about 33 cents per serving. So if you need to include a bite of chocolate with your energy boost, you could still couple this with some healthy, organic chocolate and pay less than you would for that other company's product.
Want a healthy chocolate without the sugar? You can also look at Tru Chocolate and Tru Chocolate snacks. This is more expensive than your average chocolate, but it will still give you a bite of chocolate and a serving of CaPow! for under a buck.
