A while back I featured the bizarrely refreshing flavors of Metromint, a drink I'd come across at the health food store. Joining their Peppermint, Spearmint, Lemonmint and Orangemint is their craziest flavor yet -- Chocolatemint.
This is perfect for people who get that hankering for a little chocolate, but aren't willing to give up their New Year's resolutions to resist temptation. Like all of Metromint's beverages, the Chocolatemint flavor is calorie free, has no sweeteners and no preservatives. Ingredients consist of purified water, mint and cocoa essence.
