THE TASTIEST AND HEALTHIEST CHOCOLATE BAR

I can’t name one woman that I know who doesn’t like chocolate. I wonder if they even exist? I also know that most women view chocolate as a guilty pleasure because, well, one bar a day (preferably milk chocolate with raisins if you ask me) really is going to pack on a few extra kilos. But I wouldn’t be a healthy lifestyle editor if I didn’t find the ultimate solution for you.

It does require being capable of handing words like ‘vegan’, ‘super foods’ and ‘organic’ because: tadaaa! Ever heard of the Ombar chocolate bars yet? They are dairy free chocolate bars made out of raw organic cocoa from Ecuador. They’ve got a wonderful creamy taste due to the coconut cream which is in almost all of their bars. The great thing about these bars is that they also aren’t too big, so if you eat the entire thing, you won’t feel as guilty afterwards.

Ombar falls under the term ‘healthier’ bars because of their use of raw and organic ingredients. Raw dried cocoa beans fall under the category superfood and contain a list of nutrients that are good for your body. To name an example: polyphenols (it’s okay, you don’t have to remember the name) which makes sure the chemical connection that comes from plants lowers your cholesterol. They’re also filled with antioxidants which are responsible for a healthy metabolism and radiant skin.

Ombar’s chocolate is also made out of unrefined coconut sugar and fruits like açai berries, blackberries, blueberries, Goji berries, cranberries and strawberries. Sold yet?
