Product Review: Chocorite!

Do you love chocolate?

Of course you do.

I am a self-proclaimed chocolate aficionado. While I do think it's perfectly acceptable to "treat yo'self", I also try to keep my sugar intake somewhat reasonable for the effects it has on me. So I am always excited to find/try chocolates with lower sugar or no sugar at all.

Chocorite is a company doing just that. They make protein shakes, chocolate bars and candy. Why? They saw that many people want to enjoy these types of foods but they don't always fit into a person's diet, whether they are keto, low carb, low calorie, diabetic, etc. They also believe using natural ingredients is important along with great taste. None of their products have added sugar and they are all reduced calorie, low net carb and have no hydrogenated oil.

I've tried both the dark chocolate and milk chocolate crisp bar out of the chocolate bar selections. I love that they are a nice serving size so I can eat the whole thing! They are only about 110-115 calories per chocolate bar (28g). The flavor I would say is less rich than other dark chocolates, however still tasty. I really liked the crispy/creamy contrast in the crisp bar. I would say they are pretty good given the nutrition, but I have had better chocolate in my life.

I also tried the Vanilla Peanut Cluster candy! Wow! This was so delicious - it tasted like real candy. It's individually wrapped with two clusters and only 100 calories for both. I can't wait to try more of the candies. The only downside is the candies seem to contain more ingredients and some of these may not be top on your list of things to consume (i.e. soy lecithin, palm kernel oil, sucralose, etc.) However, there is no added sugar and no malitol. It makes for a tasty treat!

Have you tried any low sugar/no sugar chocolate? What's your favorite chocolate candy?

Gut Healthy Gummy Bears! Keto Friendly

Image
Team Sour or Team Sweet? I'm team sour all the way! These gummies are surprisingly easy to make if you have a gummy bear mold (they're very inexpensive on amazon!) and they have the gut-health benefits of prebiotic fiber and gelatin! First they're sour, then they're sweet. Ingredients: 40g VitaFiber IMO syrup  1 tbsp gelatin liquid stevia to taste (I used orange stevia) 1/2 cup water Directions: Heat the mixture on the stove until bubbling.  Use the dropper to fill the gummy bear molds.  Place in fridge until set.  Just before eating, toss the gummy bears in a mixture of citric acid powder, and granulated sweetener of choice (I used a monk fruit/erythritol blend).  Voila! Sour gummies!

Keto Meringues! Sugar Free!

Image
I recently had the idea to make Meringue cookies and my curiosity was piqued at the idea of making sugar free meringue cookies. I wondered if it would work!  3 calories a piece?! I'll take 10!  I took to Google, and to my surprise there were recipes with Splenda, erythritol, stevia and beyond! I decided to try my hand at sugar free meringues with an erythritol based sweetener I just purchased recently. The brand is Swerve and I purchased it from Luckyvitamin.com. It claims to have no aftertaste! Meringues can be a bit tricky to set up due to humidity and given that it was a hot August day in North Carolina, I think they turned out pretty well! The texture was good on most of them but a few of them were still a bit soft in the middle.  Factors working against me: I didn't have enough egg whites I didn't have cream of tartar I was attempting sugar free I didn't have parchment paper Humidity You may be thinking, why even bother? Well, I don...
