A Chocolate Lover’s Dream?

IMG_5554

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:

IMG_5555

And for only 30 calories a disk, I’m pretty sure that’s not going to make or break your day. ;)

IMG_5557

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!) ;)

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??

    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!

    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!

    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.

    Yogurt is my main source of calcium. I also take a supplement but a chocolate supplement sounds alot more delicious!

    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!

    I try to get my calcium from milk and yogurt, but after I injured my back my chiro told me I wasn't getting enough. Now I take supplements that are uber horse pills! I've never tried these Adora dealies, I'm keeping my fingers crossed on the giveaway!

    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!. :-)

    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......

    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.

    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 :)

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!
