CHOC CHICK PRODUCT REVIEW - CACAO NIBBLES

These are a great energy boost that I like to have in between my lifts at my competitions. 
​Half a pack after finishing my 3 snatches normally does the job and helps with my performance for my clean and jerks.

I first discovered this wonderful company at a food expo in London and I'm so glad that I did. I've been using a number of their products for a while now and my favourite has got to be the cacao nibbles.
I going to be honest I was a tad sceptic as to how these would taste, from previous encounters with cacao nibs. If you know, you know.. but raw cacao is quite bitter and can often smell like alcohol at times, so I was plesantly surprised by how these tasted.
They are still pretty close to the raw nibs, however they have been coated in a thin layer of yacon syrup. It adds enough sweetness to take the bitter edge off without making them too sweet.

They still have that great crunch but without that lingering alcoholic taste raw nibs leave in your mouth. They are rather moreish and are a great pre workout snack.
​Even Terry Crews love the nibs..

Outside of competition snacks I love to add them into yogurt, especially protein yogurt which has become one of my go to foods as of late due to its simplicity and 1 minute prep time.
Add some fruit, nut butter and top with cacao nibbles. You have got yourself a great tasting meal/snack that is great for any time of the day.
They also work really well on top of smoothie bowls and porridge.
You can also create your own healthy trail mix by adding 10g of these beauties to each portion replacing the chocolate drops you would find in store bought mixes.

These make a great addition to pretty much any sweet dish as they are so versatile, alongside the many health benefits that they provide. 
Mood boosting flavonoids that are found in cacao help to relieve stress and can reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease, asthma and strokes.They are also 100% vegan for all of you guys out there.

You can now find the cacao nibbles alongside their plantain bites and best seller quinoa pops in Selfridges, Wholefoods Market and Hisbe if you happen to live near Brighton.

At around £3 for a 60g bag they sound expensive, but trust me you will easily get 6 servings out of one bag as you only need a few to feel satisfied.
Choc Chick pride themselves in creating products that are ethically sourced and help to give back to the locals who grow produce the cacao beans.
10/10 would recommend any of their products to anyone! Amazing quality, super versatile and share the same ethical values as me towards farming and giving back to the system. ​
