The company's Chocolate Goji Bar, for example, is made with raw Tibetan goji berries, raw cacao powder, raw cacao butter, raw mesquite pod meal, sun-cured African vanilla beans, Himilayan Crystal Salt and raw blue agave nectar. And that's just for starters. This company hand makes the most remarkable raw chocolate "superfood" products I've ever seen across the health products industry. Their Goji Jelly Cups, for example, are made with raw wildcrafted camu camu berry powder, raw Tibetan goji berries and "empowered chocolate." One taste tells you this is no ordinary food.

Interview with "Kevala" Karen Parker, master raw foods chef Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

What's in raw cacao – which is raw chocolate – that my body is saying I need? Oh, raw cacao is so high in so many things – magnesium is one, but also phenylalanine, which helps us have better brain function overall. The body is very intelligent, and it will self-diagnose if we just follow out those cravings and just feed them for a while. Mike: Feed them through real, authentic foods; not processed foods.

Product review: LivingFuel Rx Super Greens superfood powder delivers a powerhouse of nutrition with no junk fillers Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

It blends extremely well with chocolate smoothies using raw cacao powder. See my Superfood Smoothies book for recipes. The price may seem steep at first, but compared to more popular superfood products made with up to 50% filler (soy lecithin, usually), LivingFuel Rx Super Greens is very reasonably priced. Many ingredients are organic (spirulina, sea vegetables, herbs, etc.), and most nutrients are food-sourced, such as silica from horsetail herbs, or zinc from Krebs cycle bionutrients. The forms of the nutrients used in LivingFuel Rx Super Greens are the expensive, premium forms.

Behind the scenes at Natural Products Expo West - A "brutally honest" Health Ranger Review Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

But maybe that's because I'm high on raw cacao and maca the whole time, too. Superfoods really do work, and I found a chocolate bar made of 92% cacao. Plus, I munched on Incan Berries the whole time, and brought my own organic macadamia nuts from www.SouthKonaMacs.com (which wasn't at the show). I drank an egg protein breakfast by snarfing down cups of Jay Robb's new egg protein product (www.JayRobb.com) and even ate some dried yacon tuber over at Navitas Naturals (www.NavitasNaturals.com). So I can't complain, actually. I still had a good time, and I'm glad the show exists.

Chocolate raw foods roundup: The best new chocolate superfood bars revealed Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Three out of the four offer raw cacao. Here's the list: Everything Raw (www.EverythingRaw.com) Through sheer chance, I stumbled into a raw chocolate superfood company just launching a new product called, "Raw Decadence." They didn't even have wrappers ready for their product (I sampled it out of a large plastic bag), but the product speaks for itself in terms of ingredients: all organic, raw, nutritious ingredients made into a delicious food bar.

Imagine raw cacao with agave nectar, cinnamon, vanilla, nuts and seeds, blended together in a tongue-teasing recipe that gives you a natural chocolate high without the blood sugar problems found in sugary chocolate bars. This chocolate food bar impressed me so much that I bought five boxes myself and have been handing them out to people ever since. The feedback? Everybody loves 'em. This is an outstanding chocolate superfood bar from a company that deserves some good recognition for keeping their products honest and well-intentioned. Highly recommended. Five stars.

This company makes Chocolate Goji Treats, which contain blended goji berries, raw cacao and other ingredients (see below). They look like chocolate balls (about the size of a quarter) and taste like a free vacation to chocolate Heaven. Plus, thanks to the goji berries and other ingredients, they have a super high ORAC value of nearly 15,000 units per serving (91g). That's a higher rating than blueberries! Even the bag is really interesting. It's made with sacred geometry patterns and a color scheme that looks like a Tibetan Mandala.

Raw, "empowered" chocolate products launched by Empowered Foods; full review of sensational product line Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

It would be an all-nighter chocolate party, where everyone is hopped up on Peruvian Maca and high-energy raw cacao. (No alcohol, please -- we want to stay conscious enough to experience the chocolate...) I can't recommend this company highly enough. After reviewing hundreds of health product companies over the last few years, it is truly delightful to discover Empowered Foods and their unique approaches to joyful, healing foods. All citizens on planet Earth should be lucky enough to taste this chocolate someday, but alas, there isn't enough to go around. Not yet, anyway.

The True History of Chocolate Sophie D. Coe and Michael D. Coe See book keywords and concepts

When they announce that "chocolate contains thus and so," we often have no idea whether they are measuring the contents of raw cacao beans, a processed bean or one particular variety, a low-grade candy bar, or a piece of premium couverture (chocolate confections with a high content of cacao butter in the coating). In fact, the literature about the actual composition of cacao reminds us of nothing so much as the tale of the blind men describing the elephant.

New research shows vitamin D slashes risk of cancers by 77 percent; cancer industry refuses to support cancer prevention Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

My two favorite recipes are chocolate (with raw cacao, coconut oil or macadamia nut oil, raw avocado, spirulina, quinoa, banana and almond milk) and super berry (fresh berries, freeze-dried berries, egg white protein, stevia, aloe vera gel, fresh cucumber or watermelon, celery). I put no personal care products on my skin whatsoever: No deodorants, no fragrance, no skin creams, no cosmetics and no sunscreen. This alone saves me from exposure to hundreds of cancer-causing toxic chemicals added to personal care products.

Health Ranger report from the Raw Spirit Festival 2007, Sedona, Arizona Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

I'll do my best to keep reporting on the event throughout the weekend, assuming I'm not high on raw cacao and passed out in a hammock somewhere, wired on hemp protein and maca root... What else to expect... Unlike many festivals, this event actually has really clean restrooms with -- and this is remarkable -- Dr. Bronner's soaps at the hand washing stations! (Yeah for Dr. Bronner's soap!) But not everything is perfect here. Parking is a nightmare, and they've got attendees driving all over Sedona to park in one of fourteen different parking lots reserved at banks, churches and retail stores.

High in magnesium, Vitamin C and iron, enjoy these whole beans straight out of the bag, in a smoothie or dipped in your favorite sweetener. For the ultimate chocolate treat, enjoy a Fortina raw chocolate bar or one of two raw Sacred Chocolate hearts included in this package! Sacred Chocolate is infused with love, peace and gratitude.

The annual consumption in the United States is an estimated one million tons of cocoa products.

Nature's First Food, powdered grasses, chlorella), young wild coconuts (not sugary Thai coconuts), raw coconut oil butter, raw cacao butter, a wide-variety of low-sugar fruits and (only if necessary, but not recommended) one mildly medium-sized sweet fruit or small fruit serving per day (berries are best). A food that provides particularly excellent benefits is raw coconut oil butter. Coconut oil butter is easily digested and is excellent for people who have trouble digesting fats.

Choose raw cacao beans (and agave nectar, raw honey or yacon root syrup) over cooked chocolate. To conquer addictions to cooked chocolate, replace cooked chocolate with the real thing that all chocolate is made from — cacao beans! I had an encounter once at one of my seminars with a group of women who cheered when they found out they could eat raw chocolate without guilt, fear or anxiety! (more information on chocolate is found at www.rawfood.com and in my book Naked Chocolate). Choose dried prunes over dates. If you feel dates are too sugary or too strong, switch to dried prunes.

The raw foods diet: The taste alone is worth it! Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Why would you spend your money on a Big Mac when you could have a raw cacao smoothie made with avocadoes, real chocolate from Peru, chia seeds and stevia that tastes like the most delicious chocolate ice cream mint milkshake you've ever had in your life?" That's the level I'm living at with the raw foods diet, and, believe me, it is a whole different level that goes far beyond subsisting on junk foods, processed foods or restaurant foods. I grew up in the Midwest, and the Midwest isn't exactly known for its cuisine.

Amazon Herb Company earns top recommendation: Top distributors and products listed Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

I actually buy raw cacao nibs from Nature's First Law and grind those up in a chocolate shake with avocados and almond milk, but that's just me.) Oh yes, by the way, the Amazon Herb Company also sells stevia. It's my favorite sweetener of all time, and I eat stevia daily. The FDA still refuses to declare stevia as a safe ingredient for foods (imagine that, and yet aspartame remains legal...), but it's legal as a nutritional supplement. You can get it here.
