Dietitian note

Chocolate, especially dark chocolate, can be a trigger for GERD symptoms. Caffeine and Theobromine, both found in chocolate, can relax the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). This muscle acts as a barrier between the esophagus and stomach. When relaxed, it allows stomach acid to flow back up into the esophagus, causing heartburn. The high fat content in chocolate can also contribute to GERD symptoms by slowing down digestion and relaxing the LES.

Description

Chocolate-flavored powder delivers a rich, cocoa-forward taste with a mildly earthy finish; texture is smooth when blended but can be slightly chalky if mixed by hand. Commonly stirred into smoothies, shakes, oatmeal, or used in baking; reviewers note good chocolate flavor, occasional grittiness, and reliability in blenders.
