iQ Chocolate has launched a guilt-free alternative to the traditional Easter egg for the 'eat clean', health-conscious consumer (yes, they do exist).
Like the rest of the iQ range, which is made in Scotland and whose health benefits have been confirmed by Rowett Institute of Nutrition and Health at Aberdeen University and Queen Margaret University, the spring-themed take on the brand's original bean-to-bar chocolate boasts over 20 proven health benefits, including improved heart and muscle function, healthier bones, skin and hair and even enhanced mood. It's free from gluten, dairy, nut, lecithin and soya, has low Gi (suitable for people with types 1 and 2 diabetes), and no additives or artificial flavours and is esceptionally high in anti-oxidants.
Other iQ flavours are Espresso-Kick Coffee, Plush Peppermint, Orange with Wild Raspberry, Lusciously Lovely Lime, Cocoa-Nib Crunch, BeautiQ with Orange and Seabuckthorn and YogiQ with ginseng and ginger.
The special Easter raw Peruvian chocolate bar comes in the Great Taste Award-winning original bean-to-bar flavour, making a healthy alternative for this chocolate-filled time of year. Nutrient and mineral rich, the raw chocolate bar is packed with eat-clean goodness and minerals such as, copper, manganese, potassium and zinc, which promote healthier hair, skin and bones. At 197 calories for a 35g bar, and sweetened only with organic coconut blossom, it might just put a spring in your step.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.Â
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.Â
That is invaluable.Â
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
