Calcium for dessert (giveaway)

A few weeks ago I received a sample of Adora Calcium supplements in the mail.

I’d heard of them before, but never really given them a second thought.

They even sat on the counter unopened a few days after I got them.

But when I finally got around to bringing a few with me to work, it was love at first taste.  Since then, they have been in every. single. lunch box I’ve brought to work.  Whats more, is that I actually look forward to finishing lunch just to enjoy them for “dessert”.  The same applies for dinner.  I’m addicted.

Kyle has strict instructions to stay away from the dark chocolate flavor.  They are all mine.  Fortunately, they make a milk chocolate flavor that he can claim as his own.

If you’ve ever needed an excuse to eat chocolate this is your chance.  Three a day are recommended, so you can have dessert after breakfast, lunch, and dinner and it’s all in the name of getting your minerals.  Truthfully, it’s a good thing they note that “daily intake of calcium above 2500 mg is not advised” because there have been times when I’ve been tempted to go chocolate crazy.  Me buried in a pile of purple foil wrappers…it’s an image I’m trying to avoid.

I have been pairing the dark chocolate with candied ginger and it’s seriously the most wonderful treat.  No risk of muscle spasms for this hippie!  [Sorry about the nerdy nursing joke]

Naturally, I wanted to share the chance to get calcified with you guys, so Adora is giving one random reader a pack of milk chocolate and dark chocolate Adora Calcium Supplements.

To enter:

    I’m a big fan of cashews and chocolate. MMMmmm. Unfortunately the mainstream chocolate industry offers me few vegan options for my cashew\cocoa cravings. It just gives me an excuse to be creative in the kitchen!

  140. Kim

    Chocolate and coffee goes without saying, but my favorite sort of unusual chocolate pairing is… lemon! One of my favorite desserts is a dark chocolate mousse with a little bit of really intense lemon whip cream. It only sounds weird until you taste it.

  141. Akemi

    I like chocolate with nuts, but nut butter works too.

  142. Ruth krueger
