Coffee+Dark Chocolate=Pefect first breakfast.

That was my facebook status this morning and it was true. This morning when I woke I knew I wanted one thing and I needed it fast...COFFEE!!! Boy am I glad that I have a coffee maker with a timer on it! There is nothing better than waking up to a pot of already brewed coffee. This morning I used a new product that I have been waiting to try for forever! FINALLY, I got a package in the mail from a company I contacted a long time ago. Well get ready folks I have a review that is worth reading about this morning!

Can I ask You to Imagine, sipping a rich creamy Sugar FREE Gourmet Hot Chocolate that tastes like it's loaded with sugar and fat,... and laughing because it isn't.

That... is the experience you get when you indulge yourself with Chocodant. Yes! Dreams can come true.

Are you curious to learn more? Well, you can continue to do just that. Fortunately, it's easy to just keep reading on...

Cup of Chocodantâ„¢, Gourmet Hot Chocolate with stevioside

Healthy Sugar FREE Chocolate

It took them over FIVE Years and 63 Tries to get Chocodant to what it is today. A Great tasting, gourmet chocolate, anti-oxidant dietary supplement powdered drink mix, that tastes so good you don't miss the sugar or the fat. You actually think it's there. Chocodant is much lower in fat, and far higher in anti-oxidant value than other gourmet hot chocolate! Only 0.55 grams per serving (which is less than 1% of the recommended daily value)

We are talking about Gourmet Chocolate. We are talking about Dairy Free. We are talking about Sugar Free. We are talking about adding JAJA Stevioside (stevia extract).

But it is important to note that Chocodant stevioside chocolate drink mix is not sold as a food, or candy. Rather in the USA you can buy Chocodant strictly as an Anti-Oxidant Dietary Supplement powdered drink mix.

This means that...

Chocodant not only Tastes Great...
It's Good For You Too!

You get the rich Flavoniod content of specially gourmet processed Dutch Chocolate, the Potent Anti-Oxidant power of Grape Seed Extract, and the supplement is enhanced with JAJA Stevioside (stevia Extract).

Now I ask you... What could possibly be better? It's like having your cake and eating it too. And it's Sugar Free and Dairy Free!

When I got the package Saturday I was so happy! I contacted them I think in the beginning of the winter season because I knew that hot coco would be on my mind and since I cant have artificial sweeteners I was delighted to find them. I am so glad that I did! I am very skeptical about products that claim to be better than "the real thing". When I opened the box I noticed that the product was packaged nicely. I liked that it was resealable. This shiny, pack was staring me in the fact all day. When I looked at this product on-line I thought that the photos could have been more appealing and the website needed a bit of a more polished look. I must warn you now. When you go to the site it may not look as good as this product truly is. When I went to the kitchen this morning to get my coffee I saw the package of Chocodant looking right at me. I thought "This could be good, or this could be really bad....There is only one way to find out I guess." I decided that I would add a tablespoon to my coffee to see if it lived up to it's expectations....

This is the photo that should be on the site. http://getbestcoffeemakers.com/coffee-home.jpg

This made a normal cup of coffee one of the best I have had in a LONG time. Chocodant is rich, smooth and very good! I gladly give them 4 stars. I love that there is not that there is three ingrediants and that the stevia that they added is not too much. Stevia can have a odd taste if you use too much or a bad brand. I will say. I dont care how many years that they have been perfecting this product. They can stop right here. It mixed easily and I was in love at first sip. I was nervous that it would take more than one serving to really stand up to what other hot coco's taste like once mixed. Nope, one table spoon and your on your way to a wonderful chocolate drink. In my coffee, I did add some milk but I always do. I didnt have to add anymore stevia to it (usually I have my coffee with a splash of milk and stevia). The Chocodant was the perfect thing to add to my cup this morning to really make this Sunday perfect! Thanks to Allen not forgetting about me and sending me some when they got in a new batch (That is why it took so long to get to me, they were low because of the demand) I am now hooked! I very rarely give a company 4 stars (I have in the past and to a few companys for sure) but this one deserves it! You know I would tell you the truth too ;)

If you want a great tasting cup of hot coco that you can feel good about drinking. Go to their site!

You wont be sorry that you did! I plan on having hot coco for the rest of the month and even baking with this blend. Be sure to keep reading because I will be posting more about Chocodant and the many ways I use it. Thanks so very much for sending me Chocodant my way! I am a lover of this stuff and now I doubt that my coffee or hot chocolate will ever be the same!

As for chocolate, scientists have identified two compounds in chocolate that promote positive mood states. These compounds inhibit the breakdown of a brain chemical called anandamide that is responsible for causing feelings of euphoria. In fact, the active ingredient in marijuana creates a “high” by binding to the same brain receptor sites as anandamide. In other words, chocolate makes us feel good by more or less the same means marijuana does. This fact may partially explain the existence of “chocoholics.” I just may become one of them ;) Dark chocolate is rich in a flavonoids and polyphenols—two types of antioxidants. These compounds improve blood flow and lower blood pressure by helping the blood vessels relax and expand. Dark chocolate has also been shown to increase insulin sensitivity, help prevent diarrhea, reduce fatigue in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome, and reduce the stickiness of blood platelets, thus potentially lowering the risk of heart attack. So there you have it! A drink that you can feel good about! I also found out that if you mix Chocodant with liquid (milk or water) and let it sit if because pudding like. Stick it in the freezer and you have yourself a delicious desert! If you dont mix the powder completely you have what they call "chocolate pearls" and they are chewy googy. All in all a fantastic product. Thanks again for sharing this with me!


See you all tomorrow!
