Chocolate Tea for Everyone, Including Vegans
The community of vegans is growing! According to a Zogby poll of Americans conducted in 2000 (the most recent official poll), at that time there were 4.7 million vegetarians and 1.7 million vegans. This amounts to 2.5 percent of adults being vegetarian and .9 percent being vegan
Many people are vegetarians and vegans for numerous reasons. Dietary restrictions, religious beliefs, health or personal choice could be reasons for excluding meat, eggs, dairy products and animal-derived products from your diet.
If you ask any vegan what he or she misses the most from a vegan diet, what do you think the answer would be? Many will tell you that it is delicious chocolate. Chocolate is not within the dietary restrictions of a typical vegan. Almost all chocolate has milk, or at the very least whey, which is a milk derivative. Dark chocolate bars do not contain milk, but are not a popular option because of their bitter flavor. So, most vegans are always on the look out to quench their cacao cravings with something that tastes of genuine chocolate.
The Vegan-Chocolate Dilemma
Without meat or dairy products, a vegan diet tends to lean more on the high-carb side. Carbohydrates give a burst of energy that is short-lived. As a result, vegans are more likely to feel hungry sooner. Carbohydrates are usually high-calorie foods as well. More calories result in weight gain and other complications related to weight gain.
A high-carb diet can also result in sluggishness. Fruits and vegetables are extremely healthy, but they are unable to supply long-lasting energy. By 3 p.m. or late afternoon energy levels have depleted and there is need for an energy boost! In fact, vegans may find themselves needing a pick-me-up several times during the day. Because the body does not feel satiated with a high-carb diet, it tends to crave more for sweets and chocolates to compensate.
There are vegan bars of chocolate, vegan brownies, vegan chocolate mousse—all made from pure vegan chocolate. A wide assortment of vegan chocolates is available in the market but not many of them taste as good as the real thing. Too often, vegans have to settle for substitutes that don’t really satisfy their craving for chocolate. Or, vegans simply try and live without chocolate, which according to research, may not be the best choice.
Pure Cocoa: Pure Chocolate Taste, Pure Vegan, Purely Nutritious!
Chocolate has been making the news, big time. Scientists believe that diets containing good amounts of pure cocoa have the ability to make positive contributions to our health. Chocolate is good for you. Pure cocoa powder contains high levels of antioxidants called polyphenols. Scientists believe that pure cocoa, not the milk chocolate products, can support cardiovascular health and help to stimulate the production of serotonin and endorphins—hormones that promote the “feel good factor!”
So, instead of vegan chocolates, are there other alternatives that can satiate the irresistible desire for chocolate? Can vegans quench their cravings for real chocolate and yet not have to worry about adding more carbs and calories to their diet? Yes! That’s correct, low-calorie, nutritious, delicious, vegan chocolate!
Chocolate teas are a good proactive health choice for vegans. It contains the goodness of pure cocoa as well as healthy nutrients found in Green Tea. Green Tea also contains high levels of antioxidants, known as EGCG, which help support immune health. Drinks like CocoPure are also fortified with Resveratrol and soluble Oat fiber. Resveratrol, an antioxidant found in red grapes, is believed to support heart and cellular health. It is also known to protect the body against age-related degeneration. Fiber helps support the body in regulating healthy cholesterol and glucose levels. Oat fiber protects colon health, promoting regularity. It also acts as a “filler” to keep hunger pangs at bay even longer (this makes CocoPure great for anyone trying to keep from snacking in between meals, vegan or otherwise).
CocoPure provides the delicious pure taste of chocolate, and more importantly supports health in numerous ways. It can satiate cravings for sweetness as it contains stevia, the no-calorie sweetener, which has recently been given GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) status by the FDA. CocoPure is a great choice for a health drink—hot or cold—for vegans and non-vegans!
