WOW! i'm a chocolate lover and i often find there is not enough good chocolate on the market. thx Cheerie, will check out your website.

Would plain cocoa powder (sweetened to taste) be a lower calorie way to get the healthful qualities of chocolate without the relatively high fat and sugar content of chocolate?
Cocoa powder can be incorporated into various beverages where (unlike coffee) it is consumed entirely with all it's flavanols and such.
I've mixed it with orange juice for a nutrient rich and delicious beverage or it's also great in smoothies.
Hot chocolate can be made using just water and a sweetener of choice. Milk isn't necessary though a dab of whipped cream on top is excellent!

The plain cocoa powder that is available commercially has been processed and the method is called dutching process. Dutch process chocolate, or Dutched chocolate is chocolate that has been treated with an alkalizing agent to modify its color and give it a milder flavor.
The Dutch process was developed by the same Dutch chocolate maker Coenraad Johannes van Houten whose development of the method of removing fat from cacao beans by hydraulic press around 1828 formed the basis for cocoa powder and simplified chocolate culture.

The Dutch process destroys flavonols (anti-oxidants), which are beneficial from a health point of view. Therefore if you are seeking to consume chocolate for the sake of the anti-oxidants, cocoa that is processed via a cold pressed technology is recommended.

Sugar-Free Chocalate, ONLY!

Looking for a Healthy Chocolate that tastes like chocolate, is chocolate, tastes fantastic and is cold pressed so it retains all its nutrients and flavonols (anti-oxidants), has no processed sugar, fat, fillers or waxes in it then you can email me or find out more go to www.xocainz.co.nz

The challenge with healthy chocolate is that is still has all that sugar included. You can actually get the raw cacao seed or raw chocolate powder and make your own chocolate concoctions easily.

You can dip the seeds into honey or agave nectar for a great chocolate snack or you can mix the powder into your smoothies for a chocolate treat.

The best thing about this is that the nutrients in the chocolate remain intact and ready for absorption. Raw chocolate is high in magnesium and even vitamin C. Magnesium is the most deficient mineral in our diets. Up to 80% of Americans are deficient in it!

Here's my favorite chocolate treat - Chocolate Coconut Macaroons!

Mix Raw Cacao Powder, Shaved Organic Coconut, Raw Coconut Oil, Agave Nectar, a little sea salt in a bowl with your hands. Put the mix into the fridge and wait an hour (if possible!). Then ball them up with an ice cream scoop and dehydrate (or heat at low heat in the oven) until they're firm on the outside.

Live Awesome!
