BetterBody Foods Organic Cacao Powder, Gluten-Free, 16 oz

Friends, as I opened this 16oz bag of "LivFit Organic Cacao Powder " SuperFood, from Better Body Foods (packaged right here in the USA) there was a instant smell of chocolate in the air. I'm a chocoholic anyway so the smell was just like opening a can of cocoa powder used in baking, but there is a big difference in cocoa and cacao it being how the cocoa pod is processed....Cacao and cocoa are different, and each have their own unique nutrition, flavor and aromatic profiles. Cocoa is processed at higher temperatures and is usually alkalized, but alkalizing and processing in cacao, it changes it's pH value, molecular structure, and contributes to a milder flavor and decreased nutritional value, so to get the real Cacao powder, it is "cold-pressed" which is processed at low temperatures and help's retain key nutrients and preserve the true essence of chocolate. You get the great taste of chocolate with the healthy benefits of the cacao superfood. Each serving of LivFit Organic Cacao powder has protein, fiber, and antioxidants such as flavonols and polyphenols which is good for your body and is certified organic, Kosher, gluten-free and non-GMO. Only 20 calories per tablespoon with zero fat, zero sodium, zero sugar with Magnesium , Vitamin A and C. First thing I did , I grabbed a pint mason jar added a heaping "tablespoon " to about 10oz of cold milk, (it calls for 8oz but I like to put extra in because I used a heaping tablespoon)....put the lid on and shake,shake,shake....yes, this powder will float on top of the milk if you don't shake enough....but will do better in a blender. If you love chocolate and recipes call for cocoa powder you need to try this product. This is a 16oz bag (it's a big bag) with a zip seal for freshness and a code date with July of 2019. I have found my new superfood....Thank You "BetterBody Foods" for a great product, and I can't wait to try your other superfoods as well....

When I first received this, I was anxious and excited to try it out. I’m following a ketogenic way of eating, so 1 net carb and antioxidants was appealing to me. I first tried making chocolate milk with this powder. It was disgusting. Lol I’d forgotten to sweeten it, so that was my fault. I tried again with some xylitol and it was excellent. I’ve also made hot chocolate and used this for brownies. Very good! I’m pleased and I’ll definitely be buying more in the future.
