Curb your sugar cravings with the #CHOCCraveChallenge – and win 1kg of CHOC Chick Raw Cacao Powder
CHOC Chick, the online supplier of raw chocolate making kits and ingredients, is helping chocoholics tackle their cravings and prevent weight gain as it’s announced that 62 per cent of people in England are overweight.
The company’s social media based campaign, #CHOCCraveChallenge, is encouraging chocolate lovers to satisfy the urge to indulge with its Raw Cacao Powder and Blissful Blends ranges.
Both ranges contain organic, minimally processed and raw cacao powder which is free from dairy, gluten, sugar, additives and - best of all – guilt.
People taking part in the challenge can update CHOC Chick on their progress and interact with other chocoholics on social media using the #CHOCCraveChallenge hashtag.
Speaking of the challenge, Galia Orme, founder of CHOC Chick, said: “Nearly 62 per cent of people in England are overweight and I personally have struggled to maintain a healthy weight most of my life as well. Excess weight and the health problems associated with being overweight, such as a higher risk of getting type 2 diabetes, heart disease and certain cancers, cost the NHS more than £5 billion annually. We know that snacking is a significant factor in obesity as is an addiction to sugar, so we want to help people reduce their sugar cravings and enjoy healthier alternatives. The #CHOCCraveChallenge is a fun way to do this.”
To take up the challenge, choose between CHOC Chick’s Raw Cacao Powder or the newly launched Blissful Blends, available in Marvellous Mandarin and Heart Warming Cinnamon. Both are available from Holland & Barrett or online at www.chocchick.com. Then:
·
add 1 tsp CHOC Chick Organic Raw Cacao Powder or
Blissful Blends to a small espresso cup

As well as keeping your cravings at bay, you could win 1 kg of CHOC Chick Organic Raw Cacao Powder. Everyone using the #CHOCCraveChallenge hashtag on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram will be entered into a prize draw, with the winner being announced on at the end of May.
