New food in the rotation. Discovered the joys of cocoa nibs on a trip to Seattle. Yummy little bursts of intense chocolate! Said nibs with blueberries, craisins & a splash of maple syrup atop my go-to mix of oats, chia, flax & hemp soaked in soy milk

I love those little morsels too! I put them in protein smoothies. One that I call Cookie Crunch!

Love them and that’s a solid brand. No fillers.

You might try them sometime, Morticia! I'm not sold on the whole "superfood" thing, but I do know there are health benefits to cocoa and I love the taste. Katsolo - this was the brand Natural Grocers had (our one natural foods store in town here), so I went with it. Good to know, so appreciate the recommendation. Redporchlady -- do you put them in before or after you blend? I would think they might get too chopped up in the blender.

I put them in before but something that would be fun to do is make it thicker and add them after for an ice cream type treat! Yum!

Wow!!! What a treat, I have never tried nibs.

You might think about trying them, buenitabishop! 😃 Redporchlady -- I might have to try that. I don't do protein shakes, but I make a pretty good one with banana and avocado

Dazey - I sometimes have those foods I love that I forget about for periods of time. Glad to have offered the nudge! Wisco -- hope you like them! Cheesy -- yeah, that sounds like it'd be awesome in trail mix, and without the sugar of M&Ms
