A godsend for those of us who can't stop hitting snooze! Thank you, Lord!
If you're like me, waking up early is the absolute worst...something akin to torture. It's so bad that it's *actually* physically painful. And while coffee is great - it IS life's splendid elixir, after all - it has its drawbacks. For example, you have to take the time to brew it, consume an entire (at least) cup, AND wait for it to work its magic. That's fine on a leisurely weekend morning, but what about when we need to get up early to take on the day? This is all a horrible recipe for oversleeping, or at the very least, having one hell of a time getting up. Can you say "unpleasant", "tired", and "not happy"?<br /><br />Well, that's all a thing of the past.<br /><br />Introducing Mocca shots. You just take one of these small, sweet chews and you're done. No having to gulp down a massive, steaming coffee the size of a football field to wake up. If you still want to enjoy your cappuccino or what have you later on, that's fine. But these "gummies" will jumpstart your system, and fast - the same way one would jumpstart a car with a dead battery, and the car is instantaneously running again. They're not only great for those of us who struggle with waking up, but also us troubled folk who experience the dreaded daily afternoon slump (you know what I mean: yawning, listlessness, nodding off at the desk. Keep a few of these suckers handy and you won't have to deal with unwanted afternoon drowsiness again!)<br /><br />They have a texture that's kind of akin to a very chewy caramel, but with a chocolatey/coffee-ish taste. Some people don't like the flavors but I am personally finding them to be pretty darn enjoyable and yummy. When you consume one, you don't feel like you're eating a vitamin/supplement/health gummy/etc. It really just feels like you're enjoying a chocolate-and-coffee-flavored candy bite. That's a pretty sweet deal - literally.<br /><br />This is a fabulous life hack. Just one of these babies has 100mg of caffeine - almost exactly the same amount as a cup of cawfee. But it works five times faster and you don't need to gulp down eight+ ounces of hot liquid. These chews are awesome and I happen to think they taste fabulous. So far, I love the "Dark Chocolate Orange" and "Dutch Cocoa" varieties. Obviously, I bought them for the energizing effects, not the flavors, but this is a nice bonus!<br /><br />I was also really impressed by all of the other bells and whistles this product touts. You would expect a coffee gummy to be bad for you, junky, and low-quality - just loaded with chemicals and corn syrup and a million calories. Well, not these. They're merely 25 calories a chew (you only need one, maybe two tops) and are made with high-quality ingredients like cane sugar, organic cocoa butter, and ginkgo biloba extract. Nice, right? Additionally, these 'lil nuggets are dairy-free, vegan-friendly, gluten-free, non-GMO (awesome), all natural, and are even made in the USA!<br /><br />I was also shocked (in a good way) by the nutritional value - it seemed too good to be true! Here are some of the vitamins/minerals they contain, as well as what percentage of your daily value just one cube provides. The breakdown goes like this:<br /><br />Riboflavin - 70%<br />Niacin - 60%<br />Vitamin B6 - 60%<br />Vitamin B12 - 120% (!!!)<br /><br />That's impressive. So, not only are you getting your coffee in the form of an easy-to-consume, small, low-calorie, yummy treat, but you also get a shot of some essential vitamins.<br /><br />I hope they continue making these. I can't wait to put them to further work.<br /><br />Stay caffeinated, my friends! And if you're looking for a faster alternative (or supplement) to your morning cup 'o Joe, give these a try.<br /><br />PS Another way this helps you get out of bed? It's something to look forward to...kind of in a similar way that one might look forward to their morning cup of coffee, BUT without the work. It's instant gratification, and in many ways. You just pop open the package and enjoy a sweet treat, AND you get some energy within minutes. This is a winning product. I highly recommend!
