Have you finished your holiday shopping, wrapping, and all the other seasonal fun, but busy, things you have going on? I had grand plans of being “done by December one” but unfortunately, per usual, that didn’t happen haha. I’m still trying to tie up some loose ends… ordering a few last-minute gifts, wrapping what I have, and planning the rest of the month out for my little family. I’m motivated to get it all finished soon though so I can just enjoy the magic of Christmas for the rest of the month. Between pregnancy, chasing a toddler, and the holiday rush, I need an extra boost to get me through. Enter, Awake Chocolate Bites.

Luke and I have loved these caffeinated chocolate bites for quite some time now, and they’re especially desirable as of late. Each Awake Chocolate Bite has the same amount of caffeine as a half cup of coffee. While it’s not always easy or convenient to make or grab a latte in the afternoon, these bites are easily kept in the pantry, at your desk, in your car, or tucked in your purse… making a yummy, energy boost accessible almost anywhere. While pregnant, I’m very aware of, and closely monitor, my caffeine intake. These bites have been great because one “bite” gives me a boost while keeping me well under the daily caffeine limit for the day. While this post chronicles a little “tongue in cheek” look at how I feel before and after my caffeine boost, it’s also pretty accurate. My Awake bites help take me from “frazzled and a bit disheveled” to “Mama is getting things done!”

By the way, if you still need some stocking stuffers or a last-minute, fun gift for that hard-to-buy for person on your list, a box of these would make a great gift. Awake Chocolate is ethically sourced and contains no artificial flavors or colors. They also make full-size bars if that’s your preference over individual bites.

Have you tried Awake Chocolate before? In my opinion, it’s the tastiest way to get an energy boost. xoxo.
