Discover Chocolaty Bliss with Reach Organics
What is your guilty pleasure? Mine happens to be chocolate. I eat all different kinds of chocolate: milk, dark, with toffee, salted, and with marshmallows. I have my chocolate in cookies, on ice cream, in the middle of the night, and for breakfast.
I know it is not the healthiest habit in the world but it makes me happy. Also, some scientific discoveries have helped me justify it better as they are finding that chocolate is packed with helpful antioxidants. In fact, a little chocolate a day is a highly healthy habit.
No matter what your indulgence, wouldn’t it be nice if you could strip away some of the guilt? What if you could know that your guilty pleasure is relatively healthy and rather than having a negative impact it is actually positively affecting in the world?
Is there a way to have my chocolate and feel good about eating it too? Well, I have finally found the answer. Enter REACH Organics. REACH was founded by a concerned mother, Sarah Khan, who hoped to find healthy, low-sugar snacks that would provide her sailor daughter the nutrients she needed to perform. These energizing bites come in three flavors: Ginger Cardamom Zest, Raspberry Vanilla Burst, and Cherry Almond Chunk.
They are covered in exquisite dark chocolate which gives them the kind of sophisticated richness that one would associate with the finest chocolatiers in the world. Inside they are bursting with flavor. The Cherry Almond Chunk Truffles are like biting into a fresh bowl of healthy bliss, enhanced by the familiar tang of Bing Cherries. The almond flavor lingers on the palate, recalling the delicious complexity of marzipan. Chewy and chocolaty, these little indulgences satisfy the chocolate craving with only five grams of sugar. But the benefits stretch far beyond the taste and nutritional value.
The truffles are made from 74% fair trade cacao and each truffle is non-GMO, certified organic, vegan, all ingredients that go into the confection are certified organics–so it’s only natural that REACH is pursuing a certified organic status for the product itself. Oh, and did I mention that it is naturally gluten free.
Sarah Khan, who playfully refers to herself as captain of the REACH Organics ship, is committed to going to the ends of the earth to find the finest ingredients. But her passion is to craft her candies with the most U.S. based products as possible, so all ingredients are US-based except for the ingredients that are impossible to get here. As a result, nearly 90% of ingredients are US grown. She goes beyond supporting US growers; all the boxes are also made in the USA.
So next time you have a hankering for something sweet, reach for an alternative that you will feel good about long after you have indulged. REACH Organics can transform our little guilty pleasures from something we feel bad about into smooth sailing.
