NZ low carb chocolate
I decided to post this after seeing the price of the low carb bars available here in NZ and also the fact that a lot arent really lo carb just protein plus carb. I really wanted to let people know about a couple of types of chocolate available.
Lindt excellence dark chocolate with 70% cocoa solids (French). very rich and a quick fix to choc cravings. available in 35gm (8 squares) bars and contain 32% carbs or 11.2g per bar which makes each square 1.4g each. I usually have a cpl of squares a day to satiate my sugar/choc needs as I find all artificial sweeteners very chemically tasting. Great to keep in the hand bag as even if you get carried away and eat the whole bar, it is not going to throw low carbing out too much. retail at approx $1.30 so similar in price to most other chunky-size choc bars. Available in wgtn at the snack shop/dairy next to STA Travel in Cuba Mall (Ghuznee St end). Lindt also do large 100g bars which I know some New Worlds stock. Only the 70% cocoa solid bars are low carb. price at about $3.95 per bar
Chocolat Stella organic 70% cocoa solids Swiss chocolate. (in a light tan wrapper). Another rich bitter sweet choc (not as sweet as Lindt) with the advantage of being organic. They make other types of chocolate but once again the low carb is the high cocoa solids one. This is stocked at Island Bay New World in Wellington but many of the New World supermarkets stock some of the Chocolat Stella range and retail for approx $3.95 per 100gm bar . If you go to the link http://www.swisschocolate.ch/_html/...021organic.html then you will find a pic of the diff organic chocs Stella do. The 70% is on the far right (u need to enlarge the pic to view)
Often supermarkets will stock some Stella but often not this particular one but at New World they will generally stock for you if there is demand and if they can see what the wrapper is like to show suppliers
