CHOCGOJI REVIEW

I recently redeemed a SAMPLE of the Chocgoji when i read it on some blog reviews!

It comes in three types .

• The sugar free chocolate
• Milk Chocolate 
• Dark Chocolate

I redeemed the sample on their facebook page and i got the milk chocolate flavoured ones!
It was actually a little intimidating to try it at first because who would have thought of this combo?! 
Goji was normally found in my soups and not in my chocolates!
So i went on to find out more about the benefits of Goji and Chocolates. 

CHOCOLATES

• Firstly , a  2011 Swedish study found that women who ate more than 45 grams of chocolate a week had a 20 percent lower risk of stroke than women who treated themselves to fewer than 9 grams of the sweet stuff!
• Secondly , Regular chocolate eaters welcome a host of benefits for their hearts, including lower blood pressure, lower "bad" LDL cholesterol and a lower risk of heart disease. 
• Thirdly , because it's rich in fiber, dark chocolate can actually help keep you full, so you'll eat less.( haha don't know if its true though??)

Goji berries (Lycium barbarum)

• Unique among fruits because they contain all essential amino acids, goji berries also have the highest concentration of protein of any fruit. They are also loaded with vitamin C, contain more carotenoids than any other food, have twenty-one trace minerals, and are high in fiber. Boasting 15 times the amount of iron found in spinach, as well as calcium, zinc, selenium and many other important trace minerals, there is no doubt that the humble goji berry is a nutritional powerhouse.
• This amazing little superfruit also contains natural anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal compounds. Their powerful antioxidant properties and polysaccharides help to boost the immune system. It’s no wonder then, that in traditional Chinese medicine they are renowned for increasing strength and longevity.
• In traditional Chinese medicine, the goji is said to act on the Kidney and Liver meridians to help with lower back pain, dizziness and eyesight. They are most often consumed raw, made into a tea or extract, or as an ingredient in soups.
• Gojis are most commonly available in dried form, and make a great snack eaten as is, added to trail mix, muesli or oatmeal. They can also be soaked for a couple of hours in enough water to cover them. Then the soak water can be drained off and makes a delicious drink, or both water and berries added to smoothies.
