Are you a chocolate lover?
Does chocolate love you back?
Or does it also give you the side effects of weight gain, headaches, and skin breakouts? There is a solution! RAW CHOCOLATE – no sugar, no dairy, no chemical preservatives and best of all NO GUILT!

Raw chocolate combines simple ingredients in their natural state. It’s easy, you can do it at home. Simply grind up cacao beans, add a low-glycemic sweetener such as agave nectar or stevia leaf vs. poisonous table sugar or corn syrup, and instead of pasteurized (cooked) cow milk add coconut oil for creaminess. Now you can enjoy the best chocolate in the world and not worry about the side effects.

Let’s demystify the high Nutritional value of a cacao. Raw cacao bean is high in magnesium, making it a powerful brain food and natural laxative. Ten percent of its contents are antioxidants, making it a leading longevity food. Research has shown that it benefits the cardiovascular system, increases the ability of blood vessels to dilate, decreases hardening of the arteries, and thins the blood. A Harvard University study of 8,000 males found that chocolate lovers lived longer.

Chocolate is “Nature’s Prozac”. It keeps up levels of phenylethylamine, which increases the activity of neurotransmitters (brain chemicals). This increases the activity of dopamine, epinephrine and norepinephrine, hormones that keep us feeling alert, alive, joyful and happy.

Chocolate is an aphrodisiac, hence its popularity as a Valentine’s’ Day gift. It is also an appetite suppressant, which is why it is found in many weight-loss products. Raw cacao is high in Fiobromine, which is similar to Caffeine, so it can energize you, but it does not have anywhere near the addictive properties.

Raw chocolate imparts a certain state of creativity and lightheartedness upon the consumer. Creative projects seem to blossom with greater ease and success. So experiment in the kitchen, make your own wise choices, and enjoy the magical world of raw chocolate.
