Sometimes the best gift is the one you give yourself. Stave off the holiday season scaries with a little treat - and you’ll be crossing off that gift shopping list in no time! If you need an indulgent pick-me-up or a luxuriant calm-me-down, here are some tasty suggestions. Believe me, you’re worth it!
Honey Mama’s Chocolates
Each of the flavors is comprised of amazing natural ingredients. My favorite is the Cocoa-Nectar Bar, which includes raw honey; organic, sprouted almonds; and organic, raw Peruvian cacao powder. They are available in our refrigerated section, and they start melting as soon as they warm up. This is further incentive to eat them as soon as possible and quickly enjoy the mood-enhancing benefits of raw chocolate. Oh, and they are unbelievable delicious!
Vital Leaf CBD-infused Chocolates
Cambridge Naturals stocks several brands of CBD chocolates. My current favorite is Vital Leaf. Each bar contains a respectable 30 milligrams of full-spectrum CBD which, for most people, would be about two servings. But good luck stopping yourself after eating half of one of these tasty dark chocolate treats.
Rancho Gordo Premium Crimson Popcorn
Fun, heirloom popcorn. In my experience, every kernel pops. It’s crunchy & good. This proves I can suggest a non-chocolate treat! Consider popping corn with our reusable microwave Popper. It’s quick, easy to clean, avoids oils and works really well to pop every kernel.
Peanut Butter Halvah Heaven
All natural ingredients - this delicious halvah is highly reminiscent of Butter Fingers crossed with Nutter Butter Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies. It makes the perfect gift for your gourmet food loving friend! Halvah Heaven is made in locally Rockport, Massachusetts by a women-owned company.
The Republic of Tea’s Beauty Sleep Chamomile Rose Tea
Includes an amazing blue flower called Butterfly Pea, which contains collagen-promoting anthocyanins. It has relaxing chamomile, delicious hibiscus and the complex flavors of schizandra. And, it’s blue!
Cambridge Naturals has lots of other self-indulgent goodies to discover, from grain-free chips and dairy-free dips, to organic, dried fruit and raw, sprouted nuts. So come in and reward yourself for whatever you need rewarding for.
