CocoaVia is a daily cocoa extract supplement with 250 mg of cocoa flavanols in every serving.

With daily intake, CocoaVia helps oxygen and nutrients reach your organs and tissues.

Review: I am a total chocoholic so I would never pass on an opportunity to review chocolate with heath benefits! I was given each of the flavors to sample along with some CocoaVia Daily Cocoa Extract Supplements to review. The capsules were a bit on the larger side but I had no problems swallowing them and had no noticeable side effects. If given the choice, I would much rather use the super-tasty stick packs!
I liked the chocolate packets in my coffee and absolutely LOVED the chocolate dip recipe featured above. It tasted like a chocolate mousse and went great with fruit. I enjoyed the fruit flavored packets in water. It took me a little while to find the perfect water to CocoaVia ratio but finally found that 24 ounces of water and 1/2 packet was perfect. Since I gave up all beverages besides fresh vegetable juice, water, and coffee awhile ago it was a welcome change to have a flavored water.
I love the versatility of the CocoaVia flavor packs, but they are a bit pricey. However, if they really do help promote cardiovascular health then the price is probably well worth it.
Buy it here: You can purchase a one month supply of CocoaVia capsules for $29.99 or a one month supply of Stick Packs for $34.99 from the CocoaVia website. You can also purchase CocoaVia products from Amazon.
