Healthier Chocolate Choices: Get a FREE Trial of Superfood Chocolate

Disclosure Affiliate


What do you crave at the end of a day full of stress? We often want s to reward ourselves with a treat - maybe a gooey chocolate dessert. The problem is, once you’ve stopped thinking “I deserve this, I must have it,” the guilt sets in and start counting calories and sugar, thinking “Why did I do that?” Then, not only are you stressed out by your long day, but also by the reward that was supposed to make it better! 

Shop ALOHA Online

BUT - you CAN stop the stress cycle for good. Here are two easy ways to indulge in chocolate without the guilt: 

1. Choose wisely. There is a difference between a cheap chocolate cookie and a good quality dark chocolate. Picking an organic, fair-trade chocolate that is at least 60% cacao ensures you will get the great benefits in cacao (read on to learn what they are!) with the least amount of sugar and chemicals. 

2. Let it melt in your mouth. Through amazing chocolate engineering, healthy fats in cocoa butter melt at about 90-93 degrees, a.k.a. the melt-in-your-mouth temperature. Not only do healthy fats help you feel satiated and contribute to better skin and hair, but letting the chocolate melt in your mouth can create a sort of mindful meditation and increase your feelings of well-being and satisfaction. 

If you want to explore the wonderful benefits, try the Free Trial of Superfood Chocolate from ALOHA! You will receive 1 full-size chocolate bar with your trial, which contains 1 serving of fruits and vegetables, is sweetened only with coconut sugar, and is made with 60% fair-trade-cacao. Don't miss your chance to experience this tasty yet beneficial superfood! 

If you become instantly hooked on their products, they also offer Free Shipping on all orders over $50. Head on over to ALOHA.com today!

7 Chia Seed Benefits and Facts - A Superfood Primer



Chia is quite the amazing superfood that is packed with benefits in a itsy bitsy little package.  We have a bunch of chia seed basics and benefits to share with you thanks to the good people over at Abe's Market.

7 basics to catch you up on Chia:
  1. Chia seed comes from the desert plant salvia hispanica, native to parts of Central and South America. 
  2. Evidence shows humans have used chia seeds as far back as 3500 B.C. 
  3. Chia served as fuel for Aztec warriors before going into battle and Aztec messengers used it on their cross-empire journeys. 
  4. Chia was thought to have magical powers due to the strength and energy it gave those that consumed it. 
  5. Chia actually comes from the Aztec word chian, which means oily. 
  6. More recently, chia earned the name "runner’s food" by powering the Tarahumara Indians on their legendary long distance runs, as written about in the New York Times best seller Born to Run
  7. Although small, chia is packed with power; chia is the ultimate superfood.

7 CHIA SEED BENEFITS & FACTS

Chia seeds are the world's richest plant-based source of protein, omega-3 fatty acid and fiber. To put this into context, ounce for ounce, chia has more omega-3 than salmon, more protein than tofu, more calcium than milk, more fiber than oatmeal and more magnesium than broccoli.
  • Omega-3: reduces inflammation, lowers bad cholesterol and improves brain function.
  • Fiber: 11 grams of fiber per ounce of chia.
  • Protein: plant-based, vegan protein.
  • Minerals: high concentrations of calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and manganese, all necessary for important bodily functions.
  • Satiation: absorbs 12 times its weight, leaving you feeling full and satisfied.
  • Blood Sugar Regulation: helps regulate insulin levels.
  • Gluten free: chia is a seed, void of gluten or grains.
