Viva Naturals Certified Organic Cacao Powder (2lb) for Smoothie, Coffee and Drink Mixes

Very good taste n nutritive

Ok...I just received this Cacao Powder in the mail. It was a day early :) Like that! I have to say that people were saying it tastes so rich and full of flavor. One even said that she wet her finger and stuck it in the bag and it tasted good. No bitterness. Like a chocolate bar. Sorry, but I didn't get the same result. I have made me and the Man a cup with just water. It doesn't taste good. I wasn't looking for taste though. I was looking for good results with cholesterol buildup. So, I will be back on that one. I do know that it isn't bitter like the regular cocoa that I have been drinking as a child. If this was used as a hot chocolate, chocolate shake or smoothie, Honey, it would be Delish. I will do that from time to time, but right now, I'm interested in our heart, brain and artery health and this can provide what we need. I will get back to you after a couple of weeks. This should help with our blood pressure. The cost was fine for the richness. It blends really well in warm or cold water. Can't wait to see our energy levels go up. It's supposed to help with your metabolism. Pure ingredients makes me feel at ease with this product. I think it is a good quality too. Thanks for this product.

Exceptional Cocoa — The Best We’ve Ever Tasted I decided to try this non-Dutch process cocoa powder after seeing it featured on a cooking program, and all I can say is wow. One sip was enough to understand why it sells out. As a hot chocolate, it’s unbelievably creamy, deeply chocolatey, and slightly bitter—in the best possible way. We’ve been consuming organic raw cacao for over 2 years, including fermented varieties and much more expensive brands from Health food stores, and this is hands down the best-tasting and highest-quality cacao we’ve ever had. We only switched because our usual brand was unavailable, and I’m honestly so glad it was—this is a major upgrade. Viva’s cacao is smooth, rich, and full-bodied, without that harsh, biting bitterness that so many others have. It’s perfectly balanced. We often drink it hot with just water and no sweetener at all—it truly doesn’t need one. Sometimes we add honey or coconut milk, and it’s equally fantastic. It’s also incredibly versatile. I use it in homemade non-dairy ice creams and gelato, where it adds a luxurious chocolate flavor without overpowering fruit. I use it in puddings, in my hot lion’s mane drink, blended with coffee for an incredible mocha, and even mixed into raw organic chocolate wafers to boost cacao content while reducing sweetness. It performs beautifully in every application. What really sets it apart is that it still tastes amazing even when diluted or used as a secondary flavor, something we’ve never experienced with other cacaos. As long as Viva maintains this level of quality, this will be our go-to cacao, and I’ll continue recommending it to everyone I know. Truly outstanding. Thank you, Viva—this cacao is wonderful! Btw, we sometimes will add mint leaves to make it a "Chocolate mint" flavor. yummy!

High quality Cacao powder and tastes great!

I recently purchased the Organic Cacao Powder, 2lb, and I must say, I'm impressed with its rich chocolate flavor and versatility. Whether I'm whipping up a batch of hot cocoa, blending it into smoothies, or incorporating it into my baking recipes, this cacao powder delivers on taste and quality. What sets this product apart is its organic certification, non-GMO ingredients, and vegan and gluten-free credentials. As someone who values clean eating and quality ingredients, I appreciate knowing that I'm getting a pure and wholesome product without any added fillers or artificial flavors. The 2lb size is generous and offers great value for money, especially considering the high quality of the product. The resealable bag ensures that the cacao powder stays fresh and maintains its flavor over time, which is a definite plus. While I thoroughly enjoy the rich chocolate flavor of this cacao powder, I deducted one star because I found it to be slightly more bitter than expected. However, this can easily be adjusted by adding a touch of sweetness to recipes, such as honey or maple syrup. Overall, I highly recommend the Organic Cacao Powder for anyone looking for a high-quality, versatile cocoa powder to enhance their culinary creations. It's perfect for those who enjoy indulging in chocolatey treats while still prioritizing health and wellness.
