HC Hot Cocoa - Fortified for Energy or Immunity
I attended the Utah Chocolate Show last weekend as planned, and had a great time visiting with some of those who had booths at the show. I purchased several things, one of which was Hot Chocolate from HC Hot Cocoa.
I purchased one of each of their products: HC Hot Cocoa Immunity, and HC Hot Cocoa Energy.
The HC Hot Cocoa Immunity has a unique blend of vitamins, minerals and amino acids to help strengthen the immune system. It can be used as a preventave messure against colds, or enjoyed after you’ve already got the cold to get you back on your feet. It includes Vitamin C, L-Glutamine (used by white blood cells), Vitamin E (antioxident), Great Tea Extract (antioxident), Vitamin B6 (red blood cells), Zinc, Folic Acid, Vitamin B12.
The HC Hot Cocoa Energy has an exclusive blend of minerals that provide a surge of energy and sustained endurance. It’s perfect for anyone who participates in any winter activities. (The folks in the booth kept on asking me if I snowboard - “why yes I do” I said.) Its ingredients include Magnesium, L-Carnitine, Vitamin E, Beta Carotene, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6, Grape seed extract, Chromium, Folic Acid, and Vitamin B1. All these elements help turn fat into energy, metabolize sugars to create energy or are antioxidants that provide an easy recovery from exercise.
But most of all the product tastes really good! Very creamy, light chocolate flavor.
Here’s their press release about their attendance at the show:

There’s no website as yet for Nutrico Foods, so I’m sure it’s just a name right now, but they’ve done a good job in setting up branding on their website and product for their new and interesting product. Currently you can’t buy the product online (coming soon), but can contact them through email or telephone to purchase it.

Would you say it holds up to other hot chocolates or cocoas without the nutrients?

It sounds like a great product. I think I will change from coffee to your cocoa. When i want to relax on a cold New England day, I like to trat myself to a great cup of Tuccelli Hot Cocoa Mix. It is the best cocoa that I’ve ever tasted. So I guess its HC in the day and Tuccelli at night.

This HC hot cocoa sounds good i suppose… But you haven’t tasted the best hot chocolate till you’ve tried my recipe!!!
I get some NESQUIK choclate drinking powder, chocolate icecream, choclate topping, and milk, and shove it in a milkshake maker(blender-thingy) for ages until it’s really frothy/lots bubbles on top…then i pour it into a mug, then pop it in the microwave for about 1 and half minutes… and it is soooooooo good!!! And very chocolatey!It even turns the bubbles into like capucino froth…but not coffee flavor- choc!!!
The best part is, you can have it hot or cold…depends on if you put it in the microwave or not.
OH! and yes, incase you were wondering, I am definately a chocoholic!!!
