TAZA Organic Chocolate

Want something unique this Valentine's Day?  Check out these Mexicano Discs from TAZA.  They're cool looking and organic and taste great.  I LOVE the grainy texture of this chocolate which is stone ground chocolate.  I recommend the Salted Almond, made with organic almonds from California's Big Tree Organic Farm.  There is just something about that combination of salt and chocolate that makes me swoon.  Add some nuts and that sandy texture and I'm in heaven.  They come in different flavors and are available individually or by the case, I think they make a fabulous presentation.

TAZO incorporates eco friendly and socially responsible measures in their production.  I love their back-to-basics artisan approach to chocolate.  It's rustic and authentic and refreshing and really stands out  amongst premium chocolates.  Buy it locally (I just spotted it in my grocery store) and find it HERE.

♥ Tisano Yummy Organic Chocolate Tea

Want a yummy Valentine treat that's a little off the beaten path?  TISANO CHOCOLATE TEA  is brilliant way to indulge in the flavor of chocolate without having to think about sugar or gluten or anything else you might be trying to avoid.  Last year I drank this yummy organic tea while on a detox plan and it was very satisfying and felt decadent.  It smells like hot chocolate or, as my son says, brownies, lending a soothing aroma-therapeutic effect as well. 

Because of Tisano's unique processing technique which utilizes the cacao husk, the tea retains nutrients such as Vitamin D, potassium, and magnesium.  It also contains antioxidants and Theobromine which boost energy and mood.

This tea would make a wonderful Valentine's gift, or treat yourself!  Use promo code valentine10 for ten percent off.  Find it HERE.

KALLARI Organic Dark Chocolate

Meet one of my new favorite chocolates, Kallari.  This is dark chocolate that is completely smooth and I am loving it.   Sometimes dark chocolate can have a bitter aftertaste which I don't care for, but not this.  The packaging is also gorgeous and very gift-worthy.

Kallari is one of the few chocolates in the world made by a farmers' cooperative which produces and profits from its own chocolate production.  Kallari consists of 850 families indigenous to the Napo region of the Amazon in Ecuador.  The chocolate is specific to small family owned Kichwa farms and the flavors are distinct.

I love to enjoy and support products that are actually beneficial to the world.  Kallari helps to keep our rain forests alive by providing consistent income to locals so they are able to utilize their land in an eco friendly manner.  Find them HERE.

Nicobella Organic Chocolate Confections: The Grown Up Treat

Nicobella Truffles are an exciting grown up treat, confirming that decadence can also be healthy. They caught my eye because I noticed the Pumpkin Chai truffle, and thought--how festive! And healthy! Created by Nichole Dandrea and produced by Theo Chocolates, Nicobella Vegan Confections come in a box of six interesting, original flavors.

Each truffle contains ingredients known for their antioxidant clout, like blueberry and green tea. My personal favorites are the Pumpkin Chai (of course!) and the Blueberry. I'm super big on not sacrificing health for my treats, and quality, healthful organic ingredients not only make things taste better, but allow you to feel good about eating it.

Keep a stash of these on hand for Halloween and really treat yourself. They'd also be great for Thanksgiving or make a wonderful gift for vegans and just anyone who loves deep rich good taste. For 15% off a 3-box purchase, enter the promo code: TREAT (ends November 7).
