The best bar you can taste.
My goodness I love Chocolate. The richness, the flavor, the history, the health benefits. The only reason chocolate has ever had bad wrap, in my opinion, is because it is used with other bad ingredients to create candy that that is terrible for you. This is one reason, we went on a special mission to find a solution.
Love chocolate & eat chocolate even if your on a special diet or managing diabetes!
The Aztecs knew what was up. They believed that cacao seeds were a gift from Quetzalcoatl, the god of wisdom. After all, chocolate is packed with nutrition (fiber, iron, magnesium, copper, manganese to name a few), antioxidant rich, improves blood flow and lowers blood pressure, raises HDL, protects skin against the sun and improves brain function.
With all of those amazing benefits. How come we are inundated snack options packed with sugar, added fat and preservatives? Which brings me to the introduction of one of our favorite Fit Snack partners. Chocorite – does it right. They have developed the best tasting chocolate treats that are actually good for you and NOT packed with junk.
Not only did we put Chocorite taste to the test here at Fit Snack, we also shared them with friends and family over the holiday. The result was all around wide eyes and salivating mouths.
After tasting Chocorite, one would believe there is a “bunch of junk” in something that tastes too good to be true, but they have broken all the rules with their recipe. They don’t use sugar alcohols which provide you with stomach irritation and embarrassing moments from bloating. This is a problem for their competitors, but not for them. As an added plus, they use Zero Glycemic Index Sweeteners and have more fiber in their bar than any other chocolate candy bar available. Did I mention they are also gluten free. If there is one side effect of their chocolate candies, it is becoming “The Chocolate Guru” in all your social circles. Once you pass these out to family, friends, and coworkers, they will not be able to take responsibility for your instant popularity.
The best tasting bar ever!
No matter what your objective or issue is – weight loss, weight control, you are diabetic, or you just want a healthier alternative for your chocolate cravings, ChocoRite has something for you. Check out these four flavors that are now available: Pecan Cluster, Crispy Caramel, Peanut Butter Patty, and Vanilla Peanut Nougat. For more information, you can visit www.Chocorite.com.

Seeds Please!
It’s pretty normal to carve pumpkins and throw the seeds away or in some cases wash, salt and bake – boring! We don’t usually take the pumpkin carving tradition to the next level… which is making the BEST, most mouth watering pumpkin seeds you’ve ever tasted. This year, we are inspiring a different tune to that story. Pumpkin seeds are power houses packed with nutrients. We at Fit Snack can’t stand by and watch you toss those amazing power house seeds into the trash.. We just can’t to it.
Here are 3 simple steps to making the best pumpkin seeds you’ve ever tasted. *inspired by Food Network
- DRY YOUR SEED – After washing, spread the seeds in a single layer on an oiled baking sheet and roast 30 minutes to dry them out.
- ADD SPICES – Toss the seeds with olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil for sweet, salt for non-sweet and your choice of spices (see below).
- BAKE – Return to the oven and bake until crisp and golden, about 20 more minutes.
Spice Options:
- Sweet Chai: Toss with cinnamon, nutmeg and coriander + lakonto sweetner or raw sugar for desired sweetness!
- Spicy Indian: Toss with garam masala, red chili powder or ground red chilies; mix with currants after roasting.
- Mexican: Toss in Taco Seasoning – yes… we said taco seasoning! Add red chili powder for spice; mix with slivered pine nuts.
- Italian: Toss with dried oregano, garlic powder and Parmesan cheese
- Barbecue: Toss with brown sugar, chipotle chile powder and ground cumin OR use your favorite bbq seasoning
