I had never heard of the product called Choffy before I was contacted by Sarah Glancy. At first I was quite unsure if it would be something I would enjoy. But then again who wouldn't want to try a low calorie, 100% chocolate drink that is all natural and sugar free with the added benefit of some caffeine? I decided to review this wonderful product and was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved it.
The first time I made it was with my hubby and sister-in-law and we opted to just prepare it as we would have a cup of coffee. It is caffeinated although not as intense as a coffee. I enjoyed mine with Sweetleaf Stevia and soy creamer and a yummy strawberry scone, it was perfect.
I then made it again but wanted something cool since the day I prepared it the weather was considerably warm, 55 degrees in RI for January is quite crazy! I went with a choffy smoothie.
Choffy has only 20 calories per 8 oz cup and 2 grams of protein as well! No sugar, dairy, gluten or chemicals added. I made a cup, added some ice cubes,a banana and some sweet leaf stevia and YUM! A chocolate smoothie with a kick! Or have it INSTEAD of coffee with less jitters from caffeine and a chocolatey taste!
The one thing that is necessary in order to enjoy this delicious chocolate drink is that it needs to be brewed in a french press some are called bodums. Here's mine and I love it!
Bodum 8-c. Chambord Coffee Press
I don't see it as a disadvantage because having a bodum is a great purchase. It brews a fantastic cup of coffee with out having to plug anything in. You can even travel with it as my hubby and I have. We've even taken it camping. Each time you will get a perfect cup of coffee or choffy if you prefer! All you do is add your 2 tablespoon of choffy or coffee to the bodum, pour in hot water and let it steep for 4-5 minutes. After that press the piston on the cover and push down, pushing the grinds to the bottom and only the liquid will then be poured into your cup. Its so easy!
For receiving the review Sarah would love for me to also Giveaway a 12 ounce bag of Choffy to a SFM reader ! I would love for you to have this before Valentine's day to enjoy it for yourself and significant other.

It actually has very little, if any, caffeine. Cocoa only contains trace amounts of caffeine, and only from some origins. There is a stimulant called Theobromine that is similar to caffeine, but non-addictive.

I have never heard of/tried Choffy before, but it sounds like a fun thing to try. This Bodum thing really sounds interesting. I just found your site a few minutes ago and "liked" it.

I have never tried Choffy, but would love to. I love a cup of coffee first thing in the morning, and I used to drink a few more cups throughout the day, but I've since switched to drinking tea and/or for the rest of the day.

I haven't tried it, but I'd like to. I'm boring, and usually have water for breakfast.
Sara
I've never tried it but I'm crazy for cacao. Since my 2nd baby was born I've had to rely a bit too much on coffee in the morning.
Sonia
I've never tried Choffy before but is sounds interesting! I'm not even gonna lie--I'm a Diet Coke in the A.M. girl 🙂

I have never heard of Choffy, but would love to give it a try! I normally have chocolate milk for breakfast and then hot tea later in the morning.

I'd never heard of choffy but not it's on my "gotta try" list. I think you could also make it with a Teavana tea brewer since it works similarly to a french press. Just not sure it would get all the flavor out since it doesn't actually "press" the leaves or grinds?
Ilene
Oh and my morning drink is just water but I have a cup of coffee nearly every afternoon with stevia and skim milk (which I'm thinking of changing to whole unpasteurized).
