Healthy Snacking with ChocGoji - Chocolate Covered Wolfberries

Fancy a healthier snack option? I was recently introduced to this new snack called ChocGoji, which tasted... YUMMILICIOUS!

As the name implies, ChocGoji are dried goji berries coated with chocolate

Goji berries (also known as wolfberries), have been prized for their large composition of macronutrients. They possess a high level of antioxidants, essential amino acids and Vitamins A and C. What's more, the nutritional benefits of the goji berry outshines fruits such as oranges, cranberries and carrots.

Goji berry is being labelled as the world’s most powerful anti-aging super fruit. Eating goji berries can also help to improve eyesight of all ages as it contains two key nutrients for healthy vision: zeaxanthin and lutein.

I love my goji berries in double-boiled soups for its sweet undertones and TCM properties (beneficial to the eyes, liver and kidney). Despite that, I don't drink it often. ChocGoji, on the other hand, allows me to enjoy the goodness of goji berries as and when I like. This tasty snack will certainly appeal to all ages, especially kids who are known to be fussy eaters.

ChocGoji comes in 3 variants:- Dark ChocolateSugar-free Chocolate, and Milk Chocolate.

This is definitely an ingenious idea bringing chocolates and goji berries together... I'm having the best of both worlds! 

I've a sweet tooth, hence my favorite is the Milk Chocolate variant. Well, the other two taste as good albeit less sweet (supposedly healthier). No doubt ChocGoji is a healthier snack option (compared to potato chips), don't start binging on them. Moderation is key.

Thanks Elfaine (EK Media) for sending me these tasty nutritious snacks

  1. HI Verlyn,

    This snack sounds healthy and they combined both favourites of mine, chocolate and Wolfberries. Coincidentally, I had already request for a sample from facebook before seeing this post. =)

    By the way, is there any different between The Sample Store and EK Media since they are from the same person, Elfaine?
