Raw treats and desserts seem to be getting better and better these days! Creativity is really shining through and higher quality ingredients are more available now than ever, making the way for tasty raw versions of dessert classics.
ChocAlive Truffles are no exception. They are absolutely wonderful gourmet truffles and will be loved by everyone, whether they are crazy about raw chocolate or just love a scrumptious sweet treat.
The thing i love most about these truffles are their consistency. The center is perfectly smooth, silky and melt in your mouth. I tried the Speciality Sampler pack which included 6 truffles all together: 2 dark chocolate, 2 coconut and 2 chocolate chip truffles. My favorite was the coconut flavor, the delicate crunch of dried coconut shavings pairs so well with the rich texture and sweetness of the chocolate. These are very dense truffles, so after eating 1 or 2 your sweet tooth will be satisfied. They are definitely a dessert to savor and share with a friend. Another idea is to keep them in the fridge so they are nice and solid, and cut into tiny pieces to top a bowl of raw granola with vanilla bean almond mylk. Break all the rules, have nutrient rich, antioxidant power house chocolate for breakfast!
The ingredients are pretty simple. They are made from raw organic Ecuadorian Cocoa Powder and Cocoa Butter, raw organic Coconut Butter containing both the oil and fiber, organic sun dried dates, raw organic Mexican agave nectar, and unrefined sea salt. This is the base of the truffle. Other ingredients vary depending on what flavor you choose. They come rolled in almonds, dried coconut shavings, crunchy Cacao Nibs, walnuts, pistachios and there is even a Mint Chip flavor with organic peppermint extract in it. Yum! All the ingredients are raw and organic, sweeteners are whole and unrefined, and they are vegan and gluten free. The ChocAlive company is also totally beautiful and dedicated to the health and well being of their customers wholeheartedly. This is why we at RawGuru are so happy to be able to offer them to you!
Try sharing these with a non-health food interested friend or loved one. They will not believe that these truffles are actually as good for the body as they are delicious!

I am loving the trend these days for raw chocolate bars to contain medicinal herbs. This is one of my favorite companies for raw chocolate (Oh, I have others too!) I love these bars because they are actually more like a truffle than a chocolate bar. They are thicker, contain a soft slightly chewy filling surrounded by a substantial amount of decadent, melt in your mouth dark raw vegan organic chocolate. The company is Earth Source Organics which is based in sunny San Diego. Each ingredient is of the highest quality, and is chosen for being an amazing superfood, not just for flavor or texture purposes. All ingredients are raw, organic and vegan. There are 4 different flavors of chocolate bars which all contain cacao butter, cacao powder, vanilla bean and Himalayan pink crystal salt. The filling ingredients vary a bit from bar to bar.
maca Bar
My number 1 favorite flavor is the maca Bar. I am a huge maca fan, I love the flavor of this powerful root all on it’s own. I have been using it consistently as a healing and balancing food in my diet for years now. For well rounded hormonal support and adrenal support it is my number 1 choice. Combined with raw chocolate there is a definite alchemy both in health benefits, the way it makes you feel, and surely in flavor. The inside of this bar is a perfectly sweet combination of maca root, mesquite pod meal, bahri dates, golden Hunza raisons, Coconut Oil and agave nectar. Even while being dark chocolate it has no bitterness. It has the perfect level of sweetness, and I can even taste the Himalayan pink crystal salt which lends really well to the flavor and ties everything together. It may be this ingredient that adds a subtle salt crystal crunch to each bite. I could eat this one everyday and I don’t think I’d ever get tired of it.
Acai Bar
The acai berry is the highest known berry in antioxidants, containing twice the levels of blueberries. The filling of this chocolate bar is a chewy blend of freeze dried acai, agave nectar, yacon syrup and Coconut Oil. 90% of acai fruit is actually seeds, so the filling of this bar has a little bit of a gritty texture. The berries are slightly tart, so this Righteously Raw flavor wouldn’t be for someone wanting a purely sweet chocolate experience. However, it is by far the highest of the 4 flavors in vitamin c and antioxidant levels, and offers a unique combination of flavors that will inspire and delight a more adventurous raw chocolate lover.
The highest bar in antioxidants is now here to devour! The
Righteously Raw 80% Cacao Bar - Acai is so intense and delicious you will not be able to just have one bite. The chocolate is perfectly tempered and wonderful with every bite. This chocolate bar contains only the highest quality raw organic ingredients, utilizing nature's most dynamic super-foods to create an unsurpassed gourmet experience.
Açaí is a palm berry found in the amazon rain forest and is particularly known for its abundant source of antioxidant flavenoids, such as polyphenols and anthocyanins. It also contains high amounts of protein, as well as plant sterols that reduce cholesterol and enhance the immune system. Açaí is known to be one of the most powerful berries on the planet.
Ingredients are all raw and organic: cacao butter, cacao powder, acai berry (freeze dried), agave nectar, Coconut Oil, yacon syrup, vanilla bean, Himalayan pink salt.
I love the fact that this raw chocolate bar contains yacon syrup. Nature's low calorie sweetener - Raw Organic yacon syrup! Pressed from the yacon root, this gift from nature has been enjoyed for centuries in the Andean highlands of Peru. As a prebiotic, yacon is good for digestion, safeguards against colon cancer, and helps absorption of Calcium and vitamins. Though packed with sweetness, the sugar in yacon is mainly fructooligosaccharide, which cannot be absorbed by the body.
The freeze dried Acai Powder in this bar is out of this world. The quality and character of the Acai Powder is intense. The amount of acai is so rich that each bar is said to have an ORAC Score of 44,220. The highest of any raw chocolate bar... in the world! View below the Top Antioxidants Foods (per 66 grams)
