So while I was in Grand Forks I went to a co-op market
called Amazing Grains. It’s right downtown and it has a great selection of
organic produce, bulk grains, nuts and flours, and spices. It also carries
organic meats, prepared vegan foods and gluten-free flours and prepared foods.
Also natural body care items, all natural cleaners and they even have a little
restaurant/café too! It was a really neat place and I suggest everyone pay it a
visit if they are in the area! Anyway, I always stock up on a bunch of Endangered Species Chocolate bars when I go because I can’t usually get them in
Winnipeg and because I am a full on chocoholic with little need for an excuse
to go out and buy a bunch of chocolate ;) and guess what I came across- Justin’s Chocolate Hazelnut spread!! Now
most of you may be thinking-who cares? That just sounds like Nutella- well it
does but Nutella is not vegan and it really tore me up having to give up a
childhood staple! But even if you do eat Nutella- here is a couple great
reasons to give Justin’s Chocolate
Hazelnut spread a try!
- It contains no refined sugar- now that is not to say it has no sugar- just not the crazy processed type that is like the legal heroine most companies feel necessary to fill their products with!
- It has over 50% less sugar than Nutella- Nutella has 11g of sugar per tablespoon and Justin’s has just 4g!
- Almost double the fiber and protein in 1 tablespoon!
- It tastes amazing!!
Okay so I think I have replaced the hazelnut spread of my
youth! At least until I make up my own recipe-which I have plans to do as soon
as I get a chance and I will for sure be posting that recipe!
