Happy Monday! Grab Your JABLUM Coffee and their NEW Low Sugar Dark Chocolate!

JABLUM Coffee has a NEW 70% Dark Chocolate made from their JABLUM GOLD that is only 8g in Sugar.

It has 16% Saturated Fat, but that is OK, you can break off a small piece when you have a craving and put it back for another time.

Check out my thoughts from their Launch here!

The Step Centre school was established in 1993 by parents who believed that their children had the right to an appropriate and fulfilling education despite their differences. The centre is recognised by the Ministry of Education. The school makes a unique contribution to the education of all children with various challenges or abilities. They are located AT 4 Tremaine Rd, Kingston.
