CocoVia
Mars, Inc., makers of Snickers and M & M's, is taking the antioxidant benefits of dark chocolate a step further with its new line of dark-chocolate bars, CocoaVia.
From their home page:
A new great tasting, dietary supplement that harnesses the power of one of nature's unexpected super fruits - cocoa.
In addition to containing antioxidants, they're a good source of calcium (at least 20 percent of the daily requirement) and have been fortified with folic acid and vitamins , B12, C and E.
The portion size is smaller than that of most chocolate bars, too, keeping the calorie count at 100 or less, fat at 5 to 6 grams, and saturated fat around 3 grams.
Look for the bars in your grocer's health-food aisle. Also available online at CocoaVia.
