Celebrate World Vegan Day with Koko
Celebrate World Chocolate Day with Koko Black. Learn about vegan chocolate & how Koko Black Vegan chocolate is made with plant-based ingredients here in Melbourne.
With World Vegan Day fast approaching (1st of November for those not in the know), we are excited to celebrate with a collection of plant-based goodies specially curated for the big day. From dark chocolate blocks to in-between bites that are packed with flavour, our vegan-friendly chocolate range will transform the way you see plant-based chocolate for good!
When is World Vegan Day?
World Vegan Day (WVD) first started in 1994 as a commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the term ‘vegan’. Now WVD is a celebration of all things animal-friendly, plant-based and earth-centric and is usually held on the 1st of November every year.
What is vegan-friendly chocolate?
Vegan-friendly chocolate has no animal-derived products. This means no dairy, honey, or whey.
For all Koko Black milk chocolate lovers looking for a dairy-free delight, we are excited to bring back our Mylk chocolate for Christmas 2022. Mylk-chocolate is coconut-based chocolate that looks and tastes just like milk chocolate but even better! With hints of coconut, marshmallow and a creamier texture it’s a delicious dairy-free treat perfect for lactose-free chocolate lovers.
For a year-round staple, dark chocolate is a beautifully bold experience of cocoa. And vegan-friendly!
Benefits of Koko's vegan-friendly range
Not only does our range of vegan-friendly mylk and dark chocolate taste amazing but it’s also got some great health benefits (because we all need a reason to eat more chocolate)!
- 1. Studies show that eating dark chocolate once a week can lower blood pressure and improve heart health.
- 2. Enjoying 70% cocoa chocolate (or higher) may improve brain power and cognition.
- 3. Lower in glucose and sugar than milk chocolate, so our vegan-friendly range can be eaten as part of a healthy diet.
- 4. Contains antioxidants and nutrients, which can be beneficial for gut health and radiant skin.
- 5. Our entire range is 100% natural and preservative-free!
