Coco Caravan (vegan organic chocolate bars)
Coco Caravan is an artisan brand of vegan organic chocolate, sweetened with coconut sugar. The brand was founded by an ecologist, whose artist partner designs the mandalas on the eco-friendly packaging.
It’s best to avoid caffeine for pregnancy/nursing. Keep chocolate (and other ingredients like dried fruits and nuts) away from pets.
This brand works direct with cacao farmers, to support fair wages and safe working conditions. It works with regenerative farmers who reuse other parts of the beans for products like tea, to ensure nothing goes to waste.
Hand-crafted in Stroud (Gloucestershire), the range includes bean-to-bar chocolate, and even vegan organic Easter eggs in cardboard boxes.
Like coffee, the range is listed by country, rather than flavour. Choose from:
- Brazil
- Colombia
- Guatemala
- Jamaica
- Mexico
- Peru
- Tanzania
Why Choose Dairy-Free Chocolate?
Most dairy (especially in processed foods) is not from free-range cows, but from the factory-farming industry, where baby calves are shot dead soon after birth, due to being of no financial use. Cows and their calves have incredibly strong relationships, staying together for months after birth.
Many people therefore choose dairy-free for animal welfare reasons. Others are dairy-free due to allergies, and some even find that giving up dairy is good to heal sinus and/or skin problems.
You can easily get calcium from plant-based foods like green leafy veggies (check medications due to vitamin K), pulses, nuts and seeds.
