Eat Your Vegetables or Eat Chocolate??

Hmmmmm, you must be wondering why I mentioned vegetables and chocolate in my title...well, I will tell you...



As a mom to 5 children, it isn't always easy to get everyone to eat their vegetables or eat healthy snacks. Actually it is quite difficult. I have found that unless you drown the spinach in cheese or broccoli in butter, the kids won't touch it!!!



Well, what if I told you that you could give them a chocolate nugget that was equivalent to 1 pound of broccoli or 1/2 pound of spinach???? I know it sounds crazy but it's true...



The antioxidants contained in both spinach and broccoli are equivalent to one nugget or one ounce of the Healthy Chocolate Drink - Activ....



This was a major revelation in our household, because as I mentioned, my kids won't eat spinach and there are at least 2 that don't care for broccoli.... now I can give them a Xocai nugget without worrying....



Yes, the nugget is healthy!!!! I know it is hard to believe, but it is not a candy but a food. Aside from the delicious taste and the look and smell of rich dark belgian chocolate, it truly is not a candy!!! The ORAC value contained in each 12 gram nugget is 3,120. Broccoli florets contain an ORAC value of 890 for 3.5 ounces!!!



So, yes it is a food.....it will be some time when we can actually believe that this particular chocolate can be healthy, but why wait!!!
Research has shown that unprocessed cocoa powder contains an ORAC value of 26,000, along with the wonderful acai berry which as an ORAC value of 18,500 and blueberries with an ORAC value of 2,400 all which are found in this great little nugget....

MXI - Marketing Xocolate Internationally

So, who and what is MXI??? Here I will give you some insight about this wonderful company:

MXI Corp was established by the Founders of Pure De-lite Products, Inc. Pure De-lite was recognized as one of the leading distributors of low-carb, sugar-free chocolate in the United States, achieving over $3,000,000,000 in retail sales and partnering with some of the largest retail companies in the world. Some of those companies included, Wal-Mart, Walgreens, GNC, Albertsons, Eckerds, and CVS. For six consecutive years the best selling Pure De-lite product was the Pure De-lite dark chocolate bar.

It was during this time that the Founders began their journey to better understand the power of antioxidant-rich, healthy chocolate.

MXI Corp has combined the world's greatest super foods, raw cacao and acai, to develop the ultimate antioxidant products. In fact, MXI Corp with the development of its Xocai products, is now considered the category creator of high-antioxidant, healthy chocolate.

In my next post I will explain how the name Xocai came about and what it is composed of as well as some of the wonderful products made by this company.
