Celebrate Life Nutrition

When the Family Review Network offered an opportunity to review Celebrate Chocolate Truffles from Celebrate Life Nutrition, how could I, a self-proclaimed chocoholic, say no?

According to the website, Celebrate Life Nutrition “is not about ‘combating disease.’ It’s about celebrating vibrant life. The difference is deliberate…To accomplish its mission, Celebrate maximizes your nutrition with concentrated nutrients from a rich bounty of 59 whole foods. Plus, it increases your omega-3/DHA, and boosts your antioxidants with premium cocoa. That’s over 5 times the normal range of 12 foods you typically get – and not one of them is a French fry…It is time to celebrate your life. To celebrate that abundant nutrition leads to vibrant living. It’s time for a celebration that springs from the unique power of your fully nourished body. Fully nourished, your healthy weight loss will be a natural result.”

I was fortunate to try two Mini Boxes of Celebrate Chocolate Truffles (ARV $11.50 total) which contained 1 Cherry Vanilla Truffle, 1 Roasted Almond Bit Truffle, 1 Mountain Raspberry Truffle, 1 Light Truffle, 1 Dark Truffle, and 3 Cocoa Covered Almonds.

The truffles were decadent, not too sweet, and nicely sized.

And of course, they were delicious.


My favorite was the Mountain Raspberry Truffle, and I really enjoyed the Cocoa Almonds as well.

Packed with many nutrients, the Celebrate Chocolate Truffles are meant to control your appetite and so you eat less. I found that when I ate one, I savored each bite and was satisfied after eating just one, whereas with other truffles I could easily two (or three or four) before feeling satisfied.

I also found that when I ate a single truffle within a half-hour of eating a meal, sometimes I did find myself eating less of my meal; other times the amount I ate was normal.

Eating less may be a coincidence, or it may be attributed to the science behind the Celebrate Chocolate Truffles, but regardless of the reason, I’d be happy to eat more Celebrate Chocolate Truffles anytime, because they are simply satisfying and sumptuous!

Shop: You can purchase Celebrate Chocolate Truffles and other products on the
Celebrate Life Nutrition website, or at various retailers nationwide.

Win: One lucky winner will receive two Mini Boxes of Celebrate Chocolate Truffles (ARV $11.50), which include: 1 Cherry Vanilla Truffle, 1 Roasted Almond Bit Truffle, 1 Mountain Raspberry Truffle, 1 Light Truffle, 1 Dark Truffle, 3 Cocoa Covered Almonds.
