A few weeks ago I received a sample of Adora Calcium supplements in the mail.
I’d heard of them before, but never really given them a second thought.
They even sat on the counter unopened a few days after I got them.
But when I finally got around to bringing a few with me to work, it was love at first taste. Since then, they have been in every. single. lunch box I’ve brought to work. Whats more, is that I actually look forward to finishing lunch just to enjoy them for “dessert”. The same applies for dinner. I’m addicted.
Kyle has strict instructions to stay away from the dark chocolate flavor. They are all mine. Fortunately, they make a milk chocolate flavor that he can claim as his own.
If you’ve ever needed an excuse to eat chocolate this is your chance. Three a day are recommended, so you can have dessert after breakfast, lunch, and dinner and it’s all in the name of getting your minerals. Truthfully, it’s a good thing they note that “daily intake of calcium above 2500 mg is not advised” because there have been times when I’ve been tempted to go chocolate crazy. Me buried in a pile of purple foil wrappers…it’s an image I’m trying to avoid.
I have been pairing the dark chocolate with candied ginger and it’s seriously the most wonderful treat. No risk of muscle spasms for this hippie! [Sorry about the nerdy nursing joke]

Does anything NOT go with chocolate? My favorite is nuts and nut butters, though.
My favorite pairings have to be chocolate with strawberries or pretzels. So good!
Ohh! My doctor told me to get more calcium in my diet so I’ve been taking some gross supplements. And chocolate, EVERYTHING goes with chocolate. I like peanut butter and any fruit, of course. But chocolately oatmeal is the best!
My favorite pairing with chocolate is either peanut butter or strawberries. Cant go wrong with either!
Peanut butter of course, but try dark chocolate with red wine – yum! 🙂
I know that this will be said over and over again but peanut butter and chocolate are a match made in the heavens!

WOW! Those look great! Hmmmmm….I would have to say the best pairing for me would be strawberries and chocolate. The rich, creamy chocolate marries oerfectly with the sweet, refreshing fruit.
Just one?! Haha I would probably say either with peanut butter or more chocolate. 😉

More and more and more chocolate!
I love the combination of salty and sweet – I’d go with pretzels!
raspberries, banana, or peanut butter! mmmmm..
Peanut butter is by far the best combo with chocolate!

bananas or peanut butter! or all three!

I like chocolate with toffee
Chocolate with almonds. Mmm.

!!!!!! Ginger! Have you ever tried the dark-chocolate covered hunks of crystallized ginger from TJS? If you haven’t STAY AWAY. They are HOLY MOLY delicious.
Obviously, by ‘STAY AWAY’ I mean go buy them right this second, but be prepared to eat way too many to feel good about. Whoops.
Any sort of nut butter or coconut or banana

Just wanted to point out that the Vit D3 in this comes from animals – from lanolin, a skin secretion of sheep (taken from their wool).
Chocolate and peanut butter is my favorite for sure!
A big spoonful of peanut butter is great with chocolate!! 🙂
I just returned from a visit home, and I must admit I spent the past few days mooching off my mom’s stash of Adora. They’re just such a perfect ending to a meal!
My favorite thing to pair with chocolate = coconut or banana.
I’ve been wanting to get these for so long!! I love chocolate and fruit or pb 🙂
chocolate with almonds is my fav.
I like chocolate paired with toffee and sea salt.
Chocolate and coffee goes without saying, but my favorite sort of unusual chocolate pairing is… lemon! One of my favorite desserts is a dark chocolate mousse with a little bit of really intense lemon whip cream. It only sounds weird until you taste it.
I like chocolate with nuts, but nut butter works too.
Chocolate + coconut + espresso powder makes the best treat in the world.
Also, I’m following you on Twitter, as well as Adora.

I’m kind of a sucker for the milk chocolate and PB combo, but dark chocolate and raspberry is probably the best thing around, in my humble opinion of course…
Peanut butter and chocolate!!
