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/

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...
