Theo Chocolate recently debuted a new line of chocolate clusters that are designed to help consumers unlock the full health benefits of dark chocolate. While most people know that dark chocolate is good for them, few know that not all dark chocolate products contain high levels of the beneficial cocoa flavanols. As a result, Theo Chocolate has created a product that is rich in cocoa flavanols, as well as other nutrients such as fiber and iron.
The new Theo Chocolate Clusters are made up of crispy quinoa, toasted coconut pieces, dark chocolate and the brand's proprietary cocoa extract. Each serving of the clusters is packed with at least 50 grams of cocoa flavanols, which helps to support healthy blood flow and improve cognitive, skin and cardiovascular health.
Unlike ordinary chocolate, these sweets provide consumers with a deliciously healthy boost that can be enjoyed on the go.
