With British Nutrition Foundation (BNF) Healthy Eating Week 2016 taking place from 13 to 17 June, CHOC Chick is encouraging families to eat healthily without sacrificing deliciousness.

And what could be better, at the height of midsummer, than a chocaliciously chilled raw CHOCsmoothie or raw CHOCice Cream?

The CHOCsmoothie isn’t just super simple to make – it’s a delicious way start to your day and boost your antioxidant levels at the same time. Drink it straight away or leave in the freezer for a few hours and enjoy it as a yummy and healthy CHOCice Cream treat later.
