Navitas Organics Cacao Powder - Cocoa Powder Substitute 1:1, For Hot Chocolate, Baking & More - Regenerative Organic Certified, Non GMO, Fairtrade, Gluten Free, Non-alkalized (8oz. Bag, 38 Servings)

I purchased this cacao powder after hearing it could help with two things: satiating appetite and potentially lowering arterial plaque scores. I received a surprisingly high plaque score, and this is the only natural option I’ve heard of that might help address it. Appetite Control: While I’m still monitoring whether it’s helping with my plaque score, I can say I really believe it’s satiating my appetite. When I have it first thing in the morning, I feel notably less hungry throughout the day. Taste and Mixing: It has a fabulous chocolate flavor - even though I’m not particularly a chocolate person, I find the taste really good. It’s unsweetened, giving you control over sweetness levels. In Greek yogurt (my usual method), it doesn’t stir in perfectly and takes a bit of mixing. However, my wife puts it in her coffee and reports it’s delicious - it stirs and mixes with warm liquids very well. In fact, she just added another bag to our Amazon cart! Caffeine Sensitivity: I’m very sensitive to caffeine intake, and I’m happy to report this hasn’t bothered me at all despite containing some natural caffeine from the cacao. Pros: • Genuinely helps satiate appetite • Great chocolate flavor (unsweetened) • Versatile - works in yogurt, coffee, baking, etc. • Mixes well in warm liquids • Doesn’t affect caffeine-sensitive individuals • Organic • Potential cardiovascular benefits • Wife loved it enough to reorder immediately Cons: • Doesn’t stir perfectly into cold Greek yogurt (requires extra mixing) Bottom Line: Strongly and highly recommend this cacao powder. Whether you’re looking for appetite control, potential heart health benefits, or just a quality organic cacao powder, this delivers. The fact that my wife immediately ordered more says it all!

Bought for smoothies and really high quality cocoa. Happy with this! No issues with clumping or digestibility . Great price for all you get

I put a tablespoon of this in my oatmeal each morning, along with chia seeds and soy milk with some blueberries, and it's delicious. It doesn't taste like cocoa but it's a really yummy addition once your tastebuds adjust to healthy foods. I also add some to a cup of plain unsweetened soy milk for a healthy snack. Cacao powder does not dissolve, but using a stick blender helps it mix. I buy two bags at a time and will continue to buy this brand. It seems to be good quality. Love the antioxidant polyphenols in cacao.

I did some light research on the product, its uses and purity (probably the exact same thing many people have done). I will say that one reviewer mentioned the heavy metals which are going to be present to some extent so I followed up and consumer reports gave this brand an A plus. I love the flavor! I heated a cup of almond milk and mixed the cacao until dissolved and added honey to taste and some pink salt. Wonderful!!! I wish I had vanilla extract on hand but I will pick some up soon. I don't like heavily sweet chocolate, so this is perfect since I can control the flavor. Considering the health benefits this is a win-win. Thank you to all the reviewers for taking the time. I had some health concerns earlier this year and am setting up a new routine for myself.

It’s my first time using this brand, but I like that it’s organic. And the price is okay.

Great quality !

I use cocoa powder regularly for the polyphenols, the mild caffeine and as I concentrated source of magnesium when I need a little extra. Flavor is excellent, a fine powder that dissolves well. My favorite uses are in chia pudding and a teaspoon or 2 mixed with thawed frozen berries, where it blends into the liquid from the thawed berries and adds a decadent dessert flavor and feeling.

Tasty & flavorful addition to the day, enjoyable hot or iced. It’s been tried with both traditional milk & plant based options, consistent, smooth. Highly recommend. Also been used with yogurt. Using a mini whisk incorporates the powder with the liquid the best, elevates the beverage!

Really good stuff and great as a hot drink full of anti-oxidants when you first wake up. By itself it’s butter however, so is best mixed with a bit of honey for a low-cal healthy morning wake-me-up.

Good quality

Great product - has not been processed using Dutch process

Actual "cacao" (NOT cocoa) powder that blends well and tastes even better (for unsweetened cacao, that is). I got it to replace coffee and for its health benefits. I prefer this over "cocoa" powders for reasons you can google. The overall texture is very nice and flavor is not too bitter, even without sugars, which surprised me. I will be drinking this one from now on.

I, PJA Philippines hereby proclaim that one should deem it absolutely necessary to purchase themselves Navitas Organic Cacao powder. I do not declare these words with my own accord, rather, it is the thorough investigation I have done in order for me to logically justify these claims. It is very well clear, upon research, that cacao powder is a profound source of a specific chemical element such as the famous Magnesium which significantly aids in remissing the nervous system of the human anatomy, somewhat acting like a restorative potion in that which it sootheth the mind, and spirit. Not alone does this sovereign elixir mollify the body, it furthermore provideth the correct nutrient to nullify the painful spasms of the muscles also known as "cramps". Additonally, this significantly supplements the body to more produce Nitric Oxide, which one would find serviceable to their pursuit of enhanced physical endurance in aerobic movement such as running, swimming, or biking. Do not be mistaken by my words, it is not by the mere magical effects of this compound, rather it's effects are deeply rooted in scientific study and exploration, and is evident that it is as if the creator of the heavens, and of earth hath personally blessed this salubrious creation to the benefit of mankind. I believe, it is justifiable by my testimony to rate thou product with an honourable 5 stars.
