Choffy!  It's like coffee, only made from pure ground cocoa beans.

Look at that yummy chocolatey goodness steeping away in my 
cute French Press!


And the best part?  It has ALL the benefits of Chocolate...
-Full of anitoxidants
-Heart healthy
-Boosts Serotonin (in other words, it makes us happy!)
-Lowers cholesterol and blood pressure
(to name a few)  
....With NONE of the fat!!!
