Delicious!, September 15, 2009
By shecooks

"I've been using this product for a few months now. I use it for home made raw chocolate bars and chocolate smoothies. Cover chunks of frozen banana with milk (I use whole, raw), add a heaping teaspoon (or if you're feeling needy, a tablespoon) of raw chocolate powder and blend away. Doesn't need extra sweetener & tastes like a chocolate milk shake. Couldn't be easier or faster. It's a great breakfast/snack that I can feel good about. By the way, I am proof that you don't have to be a raw foodist to fall in love with good-for-you raw food. Love this stuff!"

"This is delicious when added to coconut milk along with some maple syrup for sweetening. I would recommend heating the coconut milk, maple syrup and cacao powder though, otherwise the cacao will not mix properly."

"I have been using this product on and off for a long time- I have also tried several others. As far as price is concerned, Navitas is the best priced. The taste is good. The bag is flexible and easy to use. Makes great hot cacao with rice milk and a little organic honey. It says it contains magnesium but does not say how much. Also, I think it used to say it contained vitamin C but now it doesn't anymore?
SunFood Nutrition's Raw Organic Cacao, while much more expensive, does taste better in my opinion, with a deeper chocolate taste -and SunFood had its ORAC rating tested. Also lists its level of magnesium.
Both are fine products, and depending on my budget I will continue to use both.

"I put a heaping tablespoon of this into my egg protein, fibers, greens, organic cinnamon, Daily 5 powder & mix in my bullet (blender) with unsweetened almond milk (for my morning shake.) The chocolate & organic cinnamon (same brand, different bag)masks the taste of all the nasty powders I have to take and it actually tastes YUMMY. I am always tired & it seems to help me wake up in the morning too."

Pure Energy, August 4, 2008
By oreia from Boston, MA

"According to specialists and raw food advocates, there is no other product known on Earth that comes close to this one in terms of antioxidants. (antioxidant is a term given to the fact that it helps oxidize free radicals such as pollutants, chemicals, toxins and so on from the body). I personally drink this beauty every day with raw, organic, goat milk that I buy every week from a local farm. Also, do not forget to add raw honey (the best sweetner for your heatlh) in the blender, roughly in the ration of 1:1. Meaning one teaspoon of cacao with about one teaspoon of honey because the taste of the cacao can be a little to overwhelmingly bitter; however, with honey added to it is amazing. Some experts suggest using coconut water, i've tried it and it's ok."
