Never mind an apple a day--how about three chocolates a day to maintain good health? Xoçai is a dark chocolate that is cold pressed, eliminating the heat used to process the cocoa bean for the maximum in antioxidants.
Xoçai also adds Açai berries and blueberries, giving the chocolate even more health benefits; each piece has more antioxidants than a half-pound of raw spinach.
Montreal will be hosting a taste testing and opportunity to become a rep for the company in March, which I may attend. Imagine having to taste chocolate--it’s a hard job to do, but someone’s got to do it!
