Who doesn't love chocolate? Chocolate is undoubtedly one of the best confectionaries anyone can enjoy. They’re perfect as a snack, a beverage topper, or dessert. In fact, a study found that Americans consumed an average of 11.7 pounds of chocolate a year. Besides being creamy and sweet, this cacao product has been proven to be good for health, particularly the dark variety.

According to numerous scientific studies, dark chocolate is very nutritious, specifically high-quality dark chocolate with high cocoa content. In fact, a 100-gram bar of dark chocolate with 70 to 85 percent cocoa contains the following:

Fiber
Iron
Magnesium
Copper
Manganese
Potassium
Phosphorus
Zinc
Selenium

Dark chocolate has also been found to help reduce the risk of heart disease. In a study of 470 older men, cocoa was found to lessen the risk of death from heart disease by 50% over 15 years. In another study, eating chocolate twice or more times per week was found to lower the risk of having calcified plaque in the arteries by about 32%.

With that being said, adding more chocolate blends to your boba tea menu is a great way to pique your target customers' interest, especially if you market them as healthy boba tea flavors. Here are 7 other reasons why you should start offering more chocolate blends and stock up on chocolate syrup and powders from your trusted boba supply store:

Chocolate is a good source of antioxidants.
Many people love chocolate.
Chocolate triggers the happy hormone.
Chocolates are associated with love, appreciation, and relationships.
Chocolate milk is great as an after-workout snack.
Chocolate goes well with so many flavors.
Chocolate syrup and powders are readily available.

#1 Chocolate is a good source of antioxidants.

Aside from being very nutritious, dark chocolate is also a good source of antioxidants. Antioxidants may reduce the risk of many diseases, including certain cancers and heart disease, as they fight free radicals from the body cells and prevent or reduce the damage caused by oxidation.

Dark chocolate is loaded with antioxidants which include polyphenols, flavanols, and catechins, among many others. In fact, cacao seeds are considered superfruits because it significantly has higher antioxidant capacity than other fruit powders and juices like acai berries and blueberries.

#2 Many people love chocolate.

Chocolate seems to be a favorite dessert of people across ages. As mentioned above, Americans eat almost 12 pounds of chocolate on average a year. And in 2019, the global chocolate market size was valued at a whopping 130.56 billion U.S. dollars. This is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate or CAGR of 4.6% from 2020 to 2027. This data just proves that more and more people will continue to buy and enjoy chocolate for years to come.

It is then safe to assume that chocolate boba tea flavors will not lose their popularity anytime soon! This is especially the case if you offer a wide variety of choices and surprise them with new chocolate blends they have not seen anywhere else.

#3 Chocolate triggers the happy hormone.

Serotonin is the hormone that stabilizes moods, feelings of well-being, and happiness. According to health experts, the moderate consumption of chocolates boosts this hormone and calms the brain. It acts as an anti-depressant as it releases endorphins, instantly uplifting a person’s mood.

Chocolate is also proved to suppress the release of cortisol or the stress hormone. A clinical study on the effects of chocolate intake on perceived stress found that consuming 40 grams of dark and milk chocolate daily during a two-week period appears to be an effective way to reduce perceived stress.

#4 Chocolates are associated with love, appreciation, and relationships.

And because chocolate boosts serotonin levels and suppresses the stress hormone, it is associated with love and appreciation. People all around the globe gift chocolates on Valentine’s Day, birthdays, anniversaries, achievements, and also on Christmas Day. They are perfect as get-well-soon presents too.

One indeed can never go wrong with gifting chocolates, and chocolate boba tea is not an exception! With that said, make sure to offer special chocolate boba tea drinks that are aesthetic enough to be given as gifts for any occasion.

#5 Chocolate milk is great as an after-workout snack.

As per the exercise scientist at the University of Connecticut, William Lunn, Ph.D., fat-free chocolate is better than carbohydrate sports drinks at helping rebuild and refuel muscles after a workout. This is because the former contains carbohydrates and protein, while the latter only has carbohydrates. Drinking fat-free chocolate milk also leads to a higher concentration of glycogen, known as muscle fuel, in muscles 30 to 60 minutes after exercise, compared to sports drinks.

With that said, you can offer fat-free chocolate boba tea beverages to fitness buffs who need thirst replenishment and refueling weary muscles. Market them as inexpensive and more delicious alternatives to engineered sports drinks.

#6 Chocolate goes well with so many flavors.

Chocolate can make any flavor taste better! You can blend it with basically any fruit and other foods. Coffee with chocolate isn’t new, so is tea and banana. However, more unique blends include bacon chocolates and chili chocolates and are both starting to gain popularity. Some other creative chocolate boba tea blends that you can try include:

Cheese + chocolate + tea
Alcohol (whisky, bourbon, rum, tequila, etc.) + chocolate + tea
Taro + chocolate + tea
Wasabi + chocolate + tea
Lavender + chocolate + tea

And aside from the usual fruits blended with chocolate like strawberry and mango, you can try mixing with other fruits like avocado, blueberry, passionfruit, kiwi, dragonfruit, and lychee.

Of course, it’s best to conduct taste tests with your staff and friends before offering the new flavors to the public. Nonetheless, we believe anything with chocolate tastes good!

#1 Chocolate syrup and powders are readily available.

Lastly, creating new chocolate blends is easy because chocolate syrup, powders, and mixes are easy to get, and they are available both in physical stores and online. Some of the best chocolate products online that we recommend include:

You can choose from a wide variety of chocolate products that you can use to experiment with new boba tea flavors. Most of these products can also be used on other drinks, snacks, and desserts that you offer.
