WELL NATURALLY, GUILT FREE CHOCOLATE

Did you know that the average Australian consumes 30 teaspoons of sugar per day? That’s 23 more than advised by the World Health Organization guidelines. But how? It’s not like we sit here adding spoonfuls of sugar to our drinks but it’s because with over 61 aliases for sugar, many companies are clever in their approach to masking the addition of sweet stuff to their products. Things we might think are harmless like agave nectar, barley malt, cane juice, dextrose, fructose, maple syrup, molasses all have one thing in common. They are all just different forms of sugar and have much the same impact on our bodies, and many of us are none the wiser.

Sugar is increasingly hard to identify in our food, with research by Well Naturally uncovering it is found in everyday foods in different forms, under at least 61 different names. This makes it particularly difficult for consumers trying to make better health decisions amid an avalanche of negative press about the sweet substance.

Well Naturally has been leading the charge against sugar for over a decade, with its popular range of chocolate made without adding sugar, artificial sweeteners or “secret sugars”.

Instead, Well Naturally uses only premium ingredients like stevia – a plant-based sweetener with no calories and no impact on blood sugar levels – making for a delicious and sweet treat without the guilt.

The range includes its well known Well Naturally No Added Sugar Milk Chocolate ‘Cacao Nibs’ and the Well Naturally No Added Sugar Milk Chocolate ‘Creamy Milk’, both the perfect introduction to chocolate without added sugar, that still maintains a sweeter taste.

New to the range are two delicious milk chocolate flavours: Coconut Delight and Cacao Nibs. Coated in creamy milk chocolate, Coconut Delight heroes enticing pieces of toasted coconut, whilst Cacao Nibs offers a crunchy hit of cacao.
