My Newest Obsession

I am so behind on blogging.  It is shameful!  My goal is to catch up before the baby arrives.  We will see.

Today I am blogging about my newest obsession: Choffy.  As anyone who knows me well knows that I am a woman of passionate obsessions.  I get on kicks and go overboard from the get-go.  For instance, making one little peasant dress for my little gal and then making two more in the same week from the same pattern.  Or going to one jewelry class and buying hundreds of dollars of supplies the next week.  Yeah, well, at least that one worked out well in the end.  :)  Luckily my husband has a mother who gets super into crafts and hobbies (i.e. the bins and bins of fabric all over their home waiting to be made into fab quilts) so he has been conditioned throughout his life to support the hobbies and kicks of the women in his life.  Many of my friends' husbands would throw a fit if their wives just went nuts on new hobbies like I do, but Logan's dad never did, so I am good to go. Thanks, Reed and Paulette!  :)  On to my latest fixation: CHOFFY.

Choffy is my newest obsession.  In fact, only two days after sampling it I decided that I should start selling it, both to support my obsession and to spread the love.  You may wonder: What is Choffy? Two words: BREWED. CHOCOLATE.  Yum.  Choffy is made from 100% premium cacao.  It is brewed like coffee, in a French Press, but it is 100% coffee free, and it has no more caffeine in it then chocolate ever does.  Choffy is dairy free, super low in calories, and FULL of antioxidants, so it is a great way to indulge in your sweet tooth a touch without having to feel guilty, and the Theobromine gives you a natural, gentle lift without the energy crash that often comes after caffeine consumption.  It is completely safe for pregnancy and breastfeeding, and a great alternative for the women who have a hard time giving up their daily coffee during those times. Since Choffy is brewed with 100% cacao, many people find the pure taste a bit too dark and bitter, so I usually add a spoonful of sugar or sweetener to my Choffy, as well as a splash of french vanilla creamer or half-and-half.

I am thrilled that I discovered Choffy through a FB friend.  We traded jewelry for Choffy at Christmas, and I'm so glad that we did!  I am allergic to milk, but I didn't get tested and diagnosed with that allergy until COLLEGE, so by that time the dairy-free ship had pretty much sailed in my life.  Too addicted to cheese and ice cream.  FAR too addicted.  I try to be mindful of my dairy intake, but I always struggle during the winter because I ADORE hot chocolate (especially peppermint!), even though it makes me feel rotten.  So I ration it out at Christmas time but end up getting more headaches.  It's a sad, vicious cycle.  Enter Choffy.  Now I can use non-dairy creamer and have my chocolate drink fix without any negative side effects!  In fact, the side effects that I have been getting have been quite positive.  Namely: it makes me eat less junk.  I mean, WAY less junk.  I get my chocolate fix in an antioxidant-rich cup of Choffy and end up craving sweets less.  Um, nothing short of a miracle for a Westover girl.  Want to hear of an even GREATER miracle?  Since I started drinking it I haven't been craving Dr. Pepper.  We are talking about a daily, DECADE OLD addiction here.  One day I just realized, "Wait a second, I haven't had a DP in almost two weeks!!"  I almost had to sit down because I was so shocked!  I am thrilled to have found Choffy now because I think it will really help me when I have to lose weight after this little girl arrives, especially if I switch to a calorie-free sweetener.  Ahhh, Choffy, I love you!

 Curious?  Want to try some?  I can send you a single-serving sample if you email me at bombshellbling@gmail.com, or you can just take the plunge and order some from my branch of the Choffy website.  (The sample kits come with a disposable cup that serves as a one-time French Press for those of you who don't own one.)  Wouldn't it make a great Valentine's Day gift from your sweetheart instead of a standard box of fatty chocolates, only half of which have delicious centers?!  You can also check out the website for more information on the nutritional details of Choffy.
