🚨🍫 CHOCOLATE LOVERS, WE NEED TO TALK! 🍫

You may have noticed your favourite chocolate is suddenly looking like it’s wearing a price tag made of gold. 😱 No, it’s not just your imagination—chocolate is on the rise:

🍫💸 Why is Chocolate Getting More Expensive? 💸

Here’s what’s going on behind the price hike:

1️⃣ Cocoa Crisis: Bad weather (climate change) and crop diseases are making it harder to grow cocoa beans, so there’s less to go around! 🌧️🌱

2️⃣ High Production Costs: Energy prices are skyrocketing, and it’s making chocolate production more expensive. ⚡🍫

3️⃣ Supply Chain Struggles: Shipping delays and rising transportation costs mean it’s taking longer and costing more to get those chocolate faves to your store. 🚢💨

So next time you indulge, remember there’s a lot that goes into that little square of joy. 🍫❤️ Still worth every penny, right? 😋

HOMEMADE CARROT CAKE OAT BARS

My absolute favourite recipe - they’re the perfect snack for any occasion. Craving something sweet? Kids lunchbox snack? Quick breakfast on the go?

They’re healthy, unprocessed, high in plant protein and free from any refined sugar.

They’ve made the perfect snack for our 12 hour drive today 🤪

I love that I can make these healthy, nutritious snacks for the whole family to enjoy, that are full of goodness, got plant protein, free from any additives and preservatives and plastic free.

They take 15 mins to whip up and 45 mins to bake.

Ingredients

2 ripe bananas
120g oats
60g tahini
1 tsp cinnamon
120ml milk
2 small or 1 large grated carrot
4 medjool dates, stones removed

Method

Start by soaking the dates in boiling water until just submerged.

Mash the ripe bananas in a bowl, then add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.

Remove half the water from the dates then blend them up with the remaining water. There should be about 4tbsp left. It will turn it into a date paste.

Add it to the mixture.

Line a baking tray with parchment paper, add the mixture, then bake in a preheated 180C oven for 40-45 mins.

Leave cool then slice up.

You can easily make this vegan or gf by using nut milk or gf oats 👍

All set up for the Healthy Cafe at Paragon School today. Offering healthy treats in home compostable snack bags for all the kiddos of Paragon

High protein healthy treats?

We’ve got you covered!

I’m always coming up with ways to increase the amount of protein both in what we eat and in what my kids eat. Main reason? Besides the fact that they need loads of protein as they are growing is that makes them feel fuller for longer! (And I don’t get nagged for snacks all afternoon)

These took 5 mins to throw together. Then I just popped them in the fridge for an hour to set.

All the ingredients can be found at Scoop - they are all natural, all unprocessed and free from any additives.

Ingredients

- 1/2 cup chocolate buttons
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 cup puffed quinoa
- 1/2 cup desiccated coconut
- 1/2 cup tahini
- handful of freeze dried raspberries

Method:

1. Melt the chocolate buttons and coconut oil in a small pot on a low heat.
2. In the meantime toast the quinoa puffs and coconut in another pan until slightly golden.
3. Mix all the ingredients together, holding back some of the raspberries and coconut to sprinkle on top.
4. Press the mixture into a parchment lined baking tin. Sprinkle with remaining raspberries and coconut.
5. Place in the fridge for at least an hour, but ideally overnight.
6. Cut up and serve.

CONGRATULATIONS BECKY 🎉

Following the sad news that Harvey will no longer be working at Scoop, we have some very exciting news!!

The wonderful Becky, who has worked in Bristol for the past 18 months, has now been promoted to manage our Bath shop!

Becky is welcoming, friendly and hard working and we have no doubt will do a fantastic job taking over from Harvey!

And don’t worry Bristol folk, she will still be working in Bristol too! She’s that kind of super woman 💪🏼

Welcome to the Bath team Becky 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

END OF AN ERA!!

With a heavy heart we have to bid our dear Harvey goodbye. If you have shopped at Scoop, there is no doubt he would have served you at some point.

Harvey joined us in Jan 2020, working in Bristol for a few months before he pretty much single handedly opened our Bath shop, amidst a pandemic.

He has been an exemplary employee who worked hard and rose to being our area manager - running both our Bath and Bristol shops. A friend, a colleague and the best store manager everyone could have asked for!

He will be sorely missed but we wish him the best time whilst he goes travelling and hope to see him again soon!

Thanks for everything that you have done for us Harvey !

Much love

Stephie, Rich & the Scoop Wholefoods Team ✌️
