Founder Diane Yamate&#8217;s mission was to make chocolate safe and enjoyable for diabetics and people with dietary needs.<\/p>\n<p>As an upcycle certified brand, Coco Polo uses the entire cocoa fruit to reduce waste, increase farmer equity and enhance natural sweetness, plus it uses recyclable materials for its packaging.<\/p>\n<p>The chocolate gets its sweetness from the aforementioned entire cacao fruit plus some non-GMO stevia. It is vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, and made from sustainably sourced ingredients like pea protein and oat milk.<\/p>\n<p>Coco Polo bliss comes in three variations ($16.99 for four packets of three): Absolute Pure, Raspberry Hibiscus and Whole Espresso Bean Infused. Each packet has 160-170 calories and 11-12 g. of fat.<\/p>\n<p>I enjoyed the chocolate. Right off the bat, I was pleasantly surprised by how creamy it was, like it was a milk chocolate bar. The Absolute Pure version had a delightful fruitiness that was subtle yet provided enough sweetness to the chocolate.<\/p>\n<p>As a bonus, Coco Polo Bliss is full of flavonoids, which have a wide range of health benefits, including boosting brain function.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">You can purchase Coco Polo bliss on its website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coco Polo bliss is a line of sugar-free chocolates with a purpose, and I accepted an offer to try it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9875,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[172],"tags":[198],"class_list":["post-9872","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-food-and-beverage","tag-chocolate"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9872","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9872"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9872\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9878,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9872\/revisions\/9878"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/9875"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9872"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9872"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9872"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
