Self-care Almond Spirulina Bar
Vegan, organic and with 20% plant-based protein, it is the newest addition to our range of self-care chocolates. Because we thought raw protein chocolate would be the perfect solution for chocoholics for extra sources of protein to stay fit! Lovechock Almond Spirulina is not just a protein bar but protein chocolate made with true raw cacao – all vegan and organic. Proteins are a highly important part of a healthy diet because they are the true building blocks of our beloved bodies. They keep the body working smoothly and help us to age healthily. After an intensive workout, it is proteins that restore our muscles from exhaustion.
The unique crunchy blue-green flakes come from a microalga called spirulina, which is the true king of proteins. With more than 60% protein per 100 grams, spirulina is one of the richest sources of protein on earth! The microalga lives in mineral-rich waters and is densely packed with nutrients and vitamins such as beta carotene and vitamin B, E and K1. This combination can help raise your energy levels. Besides the health benefits, this wonder of the sea is also kind to our planet and can be harvested all year round.
Creamy Yacon Brazil Nut bar
A chocolate-piece of heaven, mixed with yacon and crunchy Brazil nuts, will make your heart beating for more! The indulgent caramel flavour comes from Yacon, a Peruvian root from the Andes mountains. This naturally sweet root vegetable contains an indigestible fibre known as fructooligosaccharides (FOS) or inulin. FOS is a sugar that your body can’t digest, meaning your blood sugar level will remain more stable. Who knew that something so sweet and tasty could be a gut-healthy ingredient. Yacon: all the sweetness without the guilty feeling.
Raw Chocolate produces the same chemistry in the brain that mimics butterflies when we fall in love because it contains two important ‘love chemicals’: phenylethylamine and serotonin. By minimally processing our cacao beans, we contain as much of these love chemicals as possible. The feeling of having butterflies is caused by phenylethylamine. It’s released when love comes to call and stimulates the pleasure centres in your head. The happy chemical, serotonin, stimulates the sense of closeness between lovers and gives you that aphrodisiac boost! Also, serotonin levels increase with the percentage of cacao. The best effect comes from dark chocolate or raw cacao.
Creamy Indian Chai tablet
Let your imagination lead you to the land of bright colours and heartwarming spices with Lovechock’s new Indian Chai. Century-old traditions from South America and India meet each other in this creamy Lovechock tablet. Spiced tea, or as the Hindi would say Chai originated more than 5000 years ago in ancient royal India. This inspiring drink has been cherished for centuries and was served as a healing Ayurvedic beverage. The love for the traditional Indian Chai has inspired us at Lovechock to combine the power of cacao from South America with the aromatic Indian spices: cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, nutmeg and black pepper.
The Indian Chai spices are said to increase peace of mind as well as to preserve heart health. Although, to preserve heart health you shouldn’t consume high amounts of sweet goods. Luckily enough, we’ve used the very minimal amount (13 grams per tablet) of coconut blossom nectar. At Lovechock we only spice it up with loving aroma’s to stay true to the roots. Speaking of roots, cinnamon trees are native to South East Asia. The valued aromatic spice was also used as a medicine to treat colds and reduce blood sugar levels, which improve some key risk factors for heart disease.
