Adaptogenial Holiday Chocolate Plum 100 g

Holiday Plum is a seasonal edition of Adaptogenial instant chocolate: the same Belgian milk chocolate as the base, but with two additions that the basic version lacks, namely holiday spice and natural plum aroma. The packaging weighs 100 g and the manufacturer divides it into 10 servings of 10 g each. In one serving, the product card declares 8300 mg of Belgian milk chocolate, 1000 mg of cordyceps extract in a 10:1 ratio, 400 mg of holiday spice, and 300 mg of natural plum aroma, along with bacopa monnieri, reishi, chaga, rhodiola, L-theanine, and L-tyrosine. The manufacturer is Sport Armour from Tychy. The milk content excludes a plant-based diet, and in terms of flavor, it is definitely a winter item - dried plum with a spicy background. Preparation is no different from the year-round version: the powder is poured with hot water and mixed until dissolved, and the manufacturer recommends one serving per day. The seasonal name is therefore not a label for a different product, but a flavor variant of the same recipe.

Ingredients

Czekolada mleczna belgijska - 8300 mg w porcji
Cordyceps extract (Hericium erinaceus) 10:1 - 1000 mg
Holiday spice - 400 mg
Natural plum aroma - 300 mg
Ekstrakt z bakopy drobnolistnej (Bacopa monnieri) 10:1 - 200 mg
Reishi extract (Ganoderma lucidum) 10:1 - 100 mg
Chaga extract (Inonotus obliquus) 10:1 - 100 mg
Rhodiola extract (Rhodiola rosea) 10:1 - 100 mg
L-teanina - 100 mg; L-tyrozyna - 100 mg

This composition reads like the basic version with two added items, and that’s exactly what it is. The holiday spice is declared as a single value (400 mg per serving), meaning it is a ready-made spice blend, not a list of individual spices. The plum aroma is described as natural and valued at 300 mg. The entire extract portion remains in a 10:1 ratio, meaning in the form of concentrated extracts, not powdered raw material. Cordyceps is declared at a dose of 1000 mg per serving, bacopa at 200 mg, and reishi, chaga, and rhodiola at 100 mg each; L-theanine and L-tyrosine also at 100 mg each. It’s worth comparing this to the label of capsules you reach for daily, as in a drink it’s easy to get the impression that the composition is merely an addition to the flavor. All doses are accounted for by the manufacturer per one serving of 10 g, so the value from the label directly relates to the cup you prepare.

For whom

This is a choice for winter afternoons and as a gift - the seasonal flavor is its main selling point, and the ingredients are exactly the same as in the year-round version, plus two additions responsible for the aroma. If you enjoy spicy drinks but don't want to buy a ready-made mix primarily composed of sugar, this product provides you with specified doses per serving and Belgian chocolate as a base. Ten servings in the package are enough to test the profile without commitment, and if the plum flavor turns out to be too intense for everyday use, the basic version is milder and available year-round. This product is not suitable for those on a plant-based diet, as it contains milk, and those allergic to soy, nuts, or honey should check the warning about trace amounts. It's also worth noting that this is a seasonal product: if you enjoy the spicy profile, outside of the season, you usually return to the year-round version, which consists solely of the chocolate base with the extract part.

Frequently asked questions

How does this version differ from the basic chocolate of this brand?

With two additions. The product card states 400 mg of holiday spice and 300 mg of natural plum flavor per serving; the year-round version contains none of these. The chocolate base and extract part are built around the same raw materials in both recipes, so you primarily choose between flavor profiles.

How strong is the spicy accent in this drink?

The manufacturer prices the holiday spice at 400 mg per serving, and the natural plum flavor at 300 mg - these are two items that the year-round version does not have at all. The rest of the serving consists of the same base: 8300 mg of milk chocolate and the extract part. The spice is declared as one ready-made spice mix, under one name and one weight.

How many servings does the package contain and how to prepare it?

The package weighs 100 g and the manufacturer divides it into 10 servings of 10 g each. One serving is poured with 200 ml of water at a temperature of 93-96 °C, without boiling, and mixed until completely dissolved. The card specifies one serving per day and allows preparation cold or with milk if you prefer a thicker drink.

Is the product vegan and what allergens does it have?

It is not vegan, as the base is Belgian milk chocolate, thus the product contains milk. The manufacturer additionally warns about possible trace amounts of soy, nuts, and honey. If you have an allergy to any of these ingredients, check the packaging before preparing the drink and refrain from using it if you have any doubts.

Variants and category

The same recipe in the year-round version is sold as the basic version. You can find both items in the category Adaptogens.
