A high protein, nutrient dense snack
High in essential fatty acids and co-factors (vitamin B6, magnesium and zinc) required for serotonin production. Combined with good-quality chocolate to provide high-quality antioxidant polyphenols and the feel-good chemical phenylethylamine – they make the perfect go-to post work out or when you feel like something sweet!
