We are so excited for Easter this year as we are launching our first ever Easter egg collection! Easter is a time for sharing, gifting and indulging in lots of chocolatey goodness and we don’t think anyone should have to miss out on the fun, so this year we are bringing you our dairy free, vegan, gluten free, Easter eggs!

Every kitchen cupboard must have at least one kind of nut butter right? We think so, and can’t let a day pass without eating a spoonful of the stuff. One of the most common comfort foods amongst the Theobroma team is our handmade almond butter on toast, topped with banana slices; what a treat!

Turmeric has long been considered medicinal in traditional Indian culture and is often dubbed the Queen spice. Amongst a whole spectrum of...
What makes most desserts unhealthy? Most people think just about calories when it comes to unhealthy eating, especially desserts. But actually calorie counting can be a very misleading way of understanding whether something is good for your body or not, and even of whether it will help us loose weight. The typical example is of an avocado, which is rich in fat, but actually helps the body to lose weight. Actually one of the worst things about unhealthy desserts is the high sugar content, and also the form of that sugar. Especially in Malta, we have very high rates of obesity and diabetes which are both highly connected to sugar intake. Most desserts are made from very refined sources of...
