Choc Chick is launching Blissful Blends, a range of blended raw cacao chocolate powders, in the UK.

Available in 250g pouches, the first two flavours, Heart Warming Cinnamon and Marvellous Mandarin, are a blend of raw cacao with natural spices to create hot chocolate drinks, smoothies and shakes.

Both blends are free from dairy, gluten, sugar and additives. In addition, natural unprocessed cacao is full of antioxidant flavanols, magnesium, iron, vitamins and essential heart healthy fat.

Galia Orme, founder of Choc Chick, says, "Healthy and free from options are growing trends, but customers still want variety and comfort. More and more people are choosing hot chocolate over coffee or tea. And, as their hot chocolate consumption increases, so too does their demand for more varieties and flavour combinations."
