Store-bought chocolate is often heavily processed and loaded with sugar, leading consumers to believe that it is unhealthy—but O12 Nutrition is helping people to see its functional protein chocolate in a new light.
The brand's protein chocolate is made with high-quality cacao beans and formulas that are free from sugar, preservatives, artificial flavors and colors. In the same way that chocolate confections are offered in a wide range of flavors and textures, O12 Nutrition supplies options like milk, milk with hazelnuts and milk with almonds.
The creamy protein chocolates are branded with images of athletes on their packaging, which are designed to emphasize the products are not specifically tailored for sports nutrition, but anyone leading an active lifestyle.
