1. Father's Day Chocolates
Holy smokes! Father's Day is this Sunday!
We have crafted especially for the blokes these epic chocolate coated coffee beans - yes really! Just when you thought that our raw dark chocolate (sokolata) couldn't get any better.... These are diabolical 😬
Combining my love of real raw dark unadulterated (i.e. crap free) chocolate (sweetened with maple syrup) and my love of Sacred Grounds organic fair trade coffee beans. 2 coffee beans in every square.... An espresso hit that will get your motor running and humming. Sold in 100g bags at Broth Bar & Larder. Limited quantities so get in quick!
We wrote on the packet that this one is for the blokes but I reckon there's going to be a tug of war between the sexes on these babies.
2. NEW PRODUCTS
A) Mint carob bears
Our mint carob bears are flying off the shelf faster than anyone can say "What?! Only 3 ingredients?!?" Yep, only organic raw cacao butter, organic carob powder and Young Living food grade / therapeutic peppermint essential oil. NO ADDED SWEETENER WHATSOEVER. Because carob is sweet enough. And no milk powder, soy lectins and emulsifiers found in leading competing brands. Which makes them totally guilt-free.
I've never really been a huge fan of carob but with the added fresh taste of peppermint I love this little bears. And don't these guys look super cute too!
B) Insulated stainless steel hot drink cups
In order to reduce reliance on disposable cups we have in stock these insulated hot drink cups for your take away broth or other hot drinks.
Help reduce the 23 billion coated paper or Styrofoam coffee cups that end up in landfills every year with this reusable alternative.
Free of BPA, phthalates, PVC and lead!
C) Rectangular lunch boxes with removeable divider
Our square stainless square lunch boxes with removable cross divider were such a hit that we are also retailing rectangular ones with a single removable divider as an extra lunch box option.
These BPA-free, leak-proof containers are a non-toxic alternative to plastic containers.
They are ideal for sandwhiches, salads, fruit, veggies and slices to take to work or school.
Take away lunches just got a whole lot easier.
For those struggling with what to pack for school or work lunches follow me on social media where I post daily photos of what my 2 monkeys are taking to school with them each day. Almost always grain-free and occasionally dairy-free and always crap-free.
D) KABI stainless steel drink bottles
We are retailing these new sleek and functional KABI (Keep A Bottle Indefinitely) stainless steel bottles. These are unique as the double walled vacuum sealed insulation keeps your broth (or other hot drink) hot for 12 hours. The lids are also made of stainless steel and not plastic so perfect if you wanted to add some lemon essential oil to your drink bottle (essential oils should not be drunk through plastic lids as they can dissolve the plastic giving you a mouthful of whatever the plastic is made from... We learnt that one the hard way 😝)
BPA-free, condensation-free and environmentally friendly. Available in 3 pretty pastel colours: Mint, Blueberry & Lavender
E) Weekend shot proof coffee
On weekends we are offering our sneaky broth and butter infused coffee. Made with Sacred Grounds certified organic coffee beans, filtered water, 100% grass fed butter and a sneaky broth cube (which you can't taste but adds nutrients) this hits the spots without giving you the jitters as the broth and butter slow down the release of caffeine.

5. UPCOMING WORKSHOPS
I have a few spaces left in my All Things Chocolate Workshop on 22 September. For more info and details on how to book, click here.
If anyone is interested in being a helper at one of my workshops please contact me at info@staraniseorganic. The helper comes to the workshop for free, obtains all the leanings and the workshop booklet in return for assisting with greeting the arrival of clients and helping to clean up throughout and at the end of the workshop. It is a small way of giving back to the community especially for those who would love to attend one of my workshops but may not have the financial means to do so. I especially encourage this for students studying health and nutrition.
