JOYÀ newly announced a line of nutrient-dense, adaptogenic Functional Chocolates with four flavors, each of which supports a different purpose. The vegan chocolates are free from refined sugars and artificial ingredients and the better-for-you treats make the most of 60 to 70% cacao.
While all of the chocolates support different functions, they are united by their stress-fighting properties and ingredients. Included adaptogens include reishi, ashwagandha, ginkgo and astragalus, as well as beneficial botanicals chamomile.
An increase in healthier snacking has supported the rise of functional chocolates that offer benefits that go above and beyond what traditional chocolate can provide. These functional chocolates not only permit health-conscious snackers to indulge, they also deliver nutritional benefits.
