Carob chips
Carob chips are made from carob powder which comes from ground fruit pods from the carob tree. It is naturally sweet and is an excellent replacement for chocolate. It is also caffeine free! Carob has been shown to have many health benefits such as assisting with lowering high cholesterol, managing blood sugar levels, and helps with weight management. It is high in dietary fibre and contains powerful nutrients from potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, copper, zinc and manganese!
