Our body needs its daily protein intake, but our diets sometimes won't bring what's required. That's where nutritional supplements, shakes and bars come as an easy way to fulfil our needs. But protein doesn't taste good, so enriched snacks are also packed with artificial flavours and sweeteners. There may be an alternative, thanks to Cocoa +, a new “luxury chocolate protein bar”.
Great texture, taste and benefits, that's the promise Cocoa+ makes. First, the chocolate: each bar contains 55% cocoa, a great source of antioxidants, known for lowering the risk of heart disease and the levels of bad cholesterol among other benefits. The chocolate is made with grass-fed cows milk, by a master chocolatier. Next comes the key ingredient, the whey protein isolate. It's packed with essential BCAAs (Branch Chain Amino Acids) to reduce body fat, increase strength and maintain a lean muscle mass, and these are only a few of this nutrient's qualities.
Each 70g bar contains 19g of protein, the equivalent of three to four eggs, or a big portion of cheese or tofu. It's 100% natural and GMO free. At the moment, Cocoa+ chocolate bars are only available online. One bar is £2.99, a pack of three costs £7,99 and a pack of 6 bars is £15,99.
