A Chocolate Lover’s Dream?
If you read many healthy living blogs, then I’m sure you’ve probably seen these little guys floating around in the blog world. Although I had seen them on occasion through different blogs, I wasn’t “formally introduced” to them until my trip to the Healthy Living Summit this past August. I really enjoyed the disks that I tried while in Chicago, so I was more than excited when the company contacted me and offered to send some samples to try out.
Chocolate?!? YES PLEASE. :-D
So what exactly is an Adora disk?
Adora disks are a calcium & Vitamin D supplement, with the added bonus of having the taste of premium, all-natural chocolate. Just one Adora disk provides about 50% of your daily calcium requirements.
Did you know that the average woman is only getting about two-thirds the amount of calcium that they should?
Ladies, we gotta protect these bones of ours!! :shock:
And for only 30 calories a disk, I’m pretty sure that’s not going to make or break your day. ;)
Not only are these little guys great for providing the calcium & Vitamin D that we need, but they are seriously delicious and actually taste like real chocolate. Both the dark and the milk chocolate varieties are great, but I think the dark is my favorite. I’ve been adding one in at breakfast lately…because really, who needs an excuse to add chocolate at any meal? :)
If you’ve never tried an Adora disk, don’t say you haven’t been forewarned:
It doesn’t take long to go from this…
to this… (how ‘bout those teeth ridges!) ;)
to this.
Adora disks are sold at most CVS stores, as well as many other retailers around the U.S.
But what’s that you say? You read the post title and want to know the real deal??
Well YOU, my friends, are in luck, becauuuuuuuse…it’s GIVEAWAY TIME! :-D

Leilani says
I get my calcium from drinking tons of kefir :)
laurie says
I get my Ca from yogurt and cheese :)
Leilani says
oh and yes I definitely get enough from this source… sorry I forgot to add this to my comment
laura says
I’d say my main source of calcium is in plain yogurt, which I really don’t eat often. I fall into the range that needs the most of it too!
nomagicjeanie says
I know I do pretty good on the calcium front….I enjoy Almond Milk, cheese, yogurt, and I believe leafy greens have calcium too and I get bunches of those in too!
I would love to try these guys! I didn’t realize they were available at CVS…I thought they were a Whole Food buy! :) Good to know that!
chocolatensneakers says
So… I need to go buy these..asap. Osteoporosis runs in my family (specifically among all the women) and my Momma is always telling me I need more calcium. I have a pill supplement, but it makes me sick to my stomach so I rarely take it. For the most part I get my calcium from milk, I guess.
By the way, good for you for recognizing that you were over-extending yourself and doing something about it :)
No matter how often you post, I love reading your blog.
Jenna says
I get my calcium in milk, greek yogurt or cheese. But I can always use more, especially in chocolate form.

I get my calcium through milk and yogurt and could always use the extra calcium in chocolate yumminess form!
Jody Burrows says
I am pretty certain that I do not intake nearly the amount of calcium my body requires. Not a huge consumer of anything dairy really. Most of my calcium would be from veggies, and possibly some fruit, like I said, I know I need more, oops !!
Thanks for the giveaway, I certainly enjoy your site!
Rittie says
I usually get my calcium through yogurt and milk… i’m not sure if that is enough at all! but these chocolates sound super yum!

This is a great giveaway. I know that I definitely do not get enough calcium in a day. I’ve seen these before and thought about giving them a try but have not as of yet. This would be an awesome way to start!

Yogurt and milk in my oatmeal are my main sources of calcium. But I need to start watching my cholesterol, so I could definitely use some help!

To be honest, I probably get 99% of my calcium from Dairy Queen Blizzards. Really…. I eat about 3-4 per week! Let’s hope they have A LOT of calcium!
Linda says
My main natural source of Calcium is from Greek yogurt and tofu, but I also take three Calcium+Vitamin D supplements in the form of pills every day.
However, winning the Adora giveaway would make Calcium much easier to take!. :-)
Linda says
Just tweeted (I’m @RnnrGirl) “Check out @SweetToothCourt’s Adora Giveaway”
kitkat1126 says
I think my main source of calcium is from the milk I put into my coffee…clearly not enough calcium! I love dark chocolate and I wouldn’t have a problem adding an Adora disk to my breakfast each morning :)
gustersgoodies says
Just retweeted!

Ahhh – finally – a giveaway I could really sink my teeth into!! I get most of my calcium from Greek Yogurt and Broccoli – thought not consumed together (that would be rather yuck). I would definitely prefer to get my calcium from CHOCOLATE!!! Yumm……
Christie says
Milk and yogurt.
I want to win!!
Nellie says
I get my calcium primarily from greek yogurt and cottage cheese. I also get it from canned salmon, apparently the tiny bones in it are a good source of calcium as well! Between, those 3, I definitely get enough of it.
Lisa says
Cheese usually but I probaby dont get enough
Lisa says
I tweeted
janae jacobs says
I do not get enough calcium:( but my main source would be through yogurt!

I definitely don’t get enough calcium – my doc tells me that every year! I started taking a multivitamin but it still doesn’t have enough. I’ve looked for Adora at a few CVS’, and I haven’t found them yet! They look delicious :)
emilieviolet says
I probably get the majority of my calcium from cheese & yogurt… I use soy milk frequently too!
Kelley says
I get calcium from almond / soy milk. But I could definitely use more!
Lindsay says
I drink enough milk for three people! I have it with almost every meal. I’m hoping my bones are thanking me for the calcium!
emilieviolet says
tweeted :)
katie says
I get my calcium from milk i put in my coffee and delicious greek yogurt. I also take flinstones vitamins to get additional calcium (my doctor even suggested that i take the children’s vitamins!!)
i think i get close to enough? perhaps not!
Shayla says
I looooove chocolate – especially in calcium form!!!
I get my calcium from greek yogurt, spinach, and a daily multivitamin…but I definitely think I could use more and should try to get more in my diet.
Erin says
I take a supplement and I also eat a lot of yogurt and some string cheese.
Shanna, like Banana says
I get Calcium from cottage cheese and yogurt mostly.
I’d definitely be all over incorporating Adora discs!
erica says
sadly, i think my only source of calcium is milk in my oatmeal, or yogurt…which is pretty bad since my bone density in my early 20s was that of a 30-something year old. so now that i’ve hit 30…it’s probably worse! (i cracked a rib coughing!)
i really need to go look for these adora discs.
lenniejane says
I have been dying to try these! I get my calcium from yogurt and milk mostly, but I only have very small quantities so having these would be a great addition. :)
I also tweeted the giveaway from @lenniejane.
Alison says
I used to take a calcium supplement and should really get back into the habit of doing so! I get my calcium for my milk in my cereal in the morning and a wee bit in my coffee (I suppose every bit counts). I also try to incorporate cheese of some form into lunch and dinner. I also occasionally have yogurt as a snack, but I don’t think I consistently get as much as I need.
Jennie says
Greek yogurt is definitely my favorite source of calcium. It’s so versatile! Lately, I’ve been obsessed with mixing pumpkin into my yogurt :)
Laura J. says
I get my calcium from yogurt, milk and cheese mostly. But I love the idea of getting it in the form of chocolate! :)
Laura J. says
I tweeted too :)
Katie says
Wow, chocolate and calcium together!! Sounds good to me ;)!! I consume lots of milk, yogurt, and cheese, but haven’t really added up the calcium before…maybe I better!
Amanda says
Plain non-fat yogurt is my calcium source. I’m lactose in tolerant so I never get enough! That’s why I need these Adoras!
mysmartchoices says
My main source of calcium has to be a combination of broccoli, vanilla yogurt, and milk! Yummy! I feel as if I get 75% of the recommended amounts needed. But adora disks would be a great addition! I tweeted for those adora disks @ lanecindy on twitter.
Erin says
I get my calcium mostly from ice cream & cheese with the occasional yogurt :)
Ally says
I think I do a decent job in the calcium department….greek or regular yogurt every day, cheese, almond milk, and …of course…ICE CREAM! (the best way to get your calcium if you ask me!)
I’ve been seeing these Adora Disk things on blogs lately and I’d love to try them!
Anna says
I get my calcium by eating DELICIOUS gummy calcium supplements every morning…I seriously have to stop myself from eating too many of them! :)
Steph says
I’m a big fan of greek yogurt, but I also take a calcium and vitamin D supplement. My mom has the beginnings of osteoporosis (she’s only in her 50s) so I’m trying to do everything in my power to prevent it for myself!
Marie says
Yum I have tried these before and loved them!
I get my calcium from lots of greek yogurt :) but should probably supplement with more…
Tina @ Faith Fitness Fun says
My main source of calcium is milk and yogurt. I get a couple servings a day so I hope thats enough.
Melissa says
I usually take a gummy calcium supplement, but I’ve seen these in the blog world & would love to try them! Who doesn’t need more chocolate in their life?
Laura Desbarats says
Flowers and chocolate? You are having a great week!
My main source of calcium is probably the daily vitamin I take (for women 50 plus even though I am 24!) and almond milk. Chocolate seems like a much better way to get it in!
Courtney says
Cheeeeeeeeeeese! I think I eat cheese at least once a day, although I don’t know how much calcium is actually in each serving (oops!). I used to drink milk all of the time growing up, but now I just don’t think to. I’ll definitely look for these now that I know CVS should have them!
Ilene says
I like cheese hahaha but Adora disks would definitely be my #1 pick if I could find them in more places!
Cynthia says
Greek yogurt! The combination of protein and calcium is fantastic.
Mariana says
Milk, yogurt and cheese
Lauren B says
While I don’t track my calcium intake, I know I don’t get as much as I should although I try to get it from greek yogurt and some cheeses like feta & mozzarella! I’ve been dying to try these though!!!
Whitney says
I just recently heard of Adora and found it at CVS, so lately I’ve been taking these for calcium, although I live in MT and the CVS stores only carry the dark chocolate flavor :( I’d love to try the milk chocolate too!
Melissa says
My main source of calcium is through milk added to my morning bowl of cereal! I realize I don’t get nearly enough calcium though, so these Adora disks would definitely come in handy!

I take a calcium supplement everyday, and eat greek yogurt pretty often. I also eat a nice dose of cheese every week – Now that I think about it, I guess i eat a lot of calcium from various sources. But is it enough? Eh, I don’t know… but anything in chocolate form (especially dark), I’d eat :)

Kathryn says
Chocolate calcium! I drink a glass of almond milk and occasionally yogurt every day. I probably get 2/3 my calcium needs in a day. I definitely wouldn’t mind having a little more chocolate in my life ;)
Alexandra K. says
My main source of calcium is definitely Greek Yogurt! Im in college and I definitely think that I could use more calcium in my diet than what is offered from the cafeteria…and a little chocolate is never a bad thing either!
Alex Clark says
I get most of my calcium from good ‘ole milk. And some dark chocolate of course! I could DEFINITELY use some more though!

babs says
Gross! Those suckers are filled with sugar and calcium carbonate, definitely NOT what I would call healthy.

I don’t think I get that much calcium because I don’t like milk, but I eat cottage cheese like it’s my job so I’m sure that makes up for it. And of course any other kind of cheese. I’m a self professed cheese addict.
Christina says
I get my daily calcium mainly from the calcium supplement that I take, but I would love to try a new supplement…especially one that involves chocolate!!

I don’t think I do get enough… I used to drink milk ALL DAY back in the states but lately I just have a splash with my oats… and it’s so processed i don’t even know how much calcium it even retains (seriously, our milk is good for over a year on the shelf. gross huh?)

kelly says
My main sources are yogurt and cheese. I know I could do better but its tough sometimes. I keep reading about these disks and have been dying to try them.
Samantha Robertson says
I’d have to say I have two sources, Greek Yogurt and Almond Breeze, but I probably don’t get enough because I almost never eat a full serving of either. It’s more like a little here and a little there.
Courtney @ Ice Cream & Wine says
I get most of my calcium from greek yogurt and cottage cheese – I also take a women’s multivitamin that has calcium in it. Between all of that, I’m still probably not getting the right amount – and it’s super important that women do get enough calcium!
Kelly says
My main source of calcium is from cow’s milk. However, I pretty much love dairy in all of its forms! I also eat lots of cheese and yogurt which helps too. ;)

Ellie says
Cottage cheese is my favorite source of calcium. I love mixing it with frozen blueberries. :)
