Product Review: ZenEvo Chocolate

"Chocolate with Benefits"

I think they meant extra benefits because tasting delicious is a benefit of chocolate already. 

All jokes aside, ZenEvo knows that dark chocolate has great benefits, but they wanted to take that one step further by creating chocolate confections that can serve a purpose in your life. They first dreamed up a good tasting energy product and that was just the tip of the iceberg. They created the Energy Chocolate, Weight Loss Raspberry Chocolate, Dark Chocolate with Vitamin D, Protein Peanut Butter Cups, and Sleep White Chocolate.

They were so kind to send me a few samples to try!

Protein Peanut Butter Cup

Have you had other protein peanut butter cups where the interior is some strange, chalky peanut flavored substance? I have. Safe to say, the bar was set low for this product. However, it greatly surprised me. The chocolate was smooth and creamy and rather than having a defined peanut butter center it was peanut buttery throughout and it's made with real peanut butter. It had some texture from the crunchy peanut butter. I really liked it! They make a perfect protein sweet treat!

Weight Loss Raspberry Chocolate

Let me preface this with the fact that I am not trying to lose weight lol! I honestly did not know what this was - the packaging says "Fit". I want to be fit, right? So I tried it. And though the chocolate had a good, smooth texture, there was a very off-putting metallic flavor left behind. I was not a fan. Oops! If you're trying to lose weight, I would say maybe just choose a lower sugar/ sugar free option.


Vitamin D Chocolate Square

If I can supplement Vitamin D with chocolate, I'm down! This square had a slight aftertaste that I can't identify but not too bad. The texture is melt-in-your mouth smooth. 

I haven't yet tried the Driving Energy chocolates (which contains 150mg caffeine, ashwaganda, maca and ginseng) or the Sleepy Sweet (white chocolate with melatonin) but they sound awesome and who doesn't love a sweet snack right before bed?
Overall, my favorite of their products that I tried was definitely the peanut butter cups! They are sweet, creamy and delicious with an added punch of protein. My least favorite was the "fit" squares as the aftertaste was off-putting to me. 

ZenEvo uses French dark chocolate that is fair trade, non-GMO and kosher, they use no added sugars or artificial sweeteners and provide added benefits to help you reach your goals! Check them out here: https://zenevochocolate.com/

Product Review: Tru Fru

Image
If you dip anything in chocolate it's instantly 10x better, right? I like freeze dried fruit and I like  love chocolate so combining the two is a recipe for success!  That's what Tru Fru has done.  The fruit is harvested fresh, freeze dried to lock in the majority of the vitamins, taste, and nutrition. The fruit is then coated in rich chocolate for a snack that is both nutritious and indulgent tasting! You don't have to choose between a nutritious snack or a tasty treat. You can have both in one. That's the concept, so let's get taste-testing! They have several different varieties including: Raspberries, Cherries, Coconut Melts, Strawberries, Bananas, and Cranberries. I first tried the Strawberry variety because chocolate covered strawberries are classic! I really liked it! The dark chocolate coating was smooth and rich while the freeze dried strawberry interior was crunchy and sweet with a slight tang. I found this to be perfectly balanced with

Must Read List

Have you been spending more time at home? Have you finished your entire list on Netflix? If the answer to these is Yes, you might be looking for some ways to fill your time. I personally love to read, especially while laying out in the sunshine. So I thought I would share some of my all time, must read books! I'm a fan of fiction so these books are all fiction! Longtime Favorite:  A Separate Peace I read this book as a freshman in high school and it never left me. The emotions are so piercing and the story so unique that I never forgot it.  Classic:  The Picture of Dorian Gray Thought provoking, emotive, and relatable to the core - this timeless classic will have you turning pages.  Female Must Read:  The Bell Jar Sylvia Plath captures a character that reached deep within my soul. It touches on mental health, feminism and more all while being extremely readable, imo.  Lived Up to the H ype:  The Fault in Our Stars John Green is a master story-teller and this book lived up to the hy
