This was their first chocolate bar - the ORIGINAL and has 10 powerful superfoods in a rich, raw chocolate and sweet crunch from chia seeds. I must note some of my opinions here. I really do like this product. But I do think this specific flavor is more of a dark chocolate and I didn't find it very sweet. I'm totally ok with this, tho, as I do enjoy a fine dark chocolate when I can find vegan ones. Here are the ingredients for this product...
Superfood Ingredients: raw cacao paste*, raw cacao butter*, non-gmo birch xylitol, raw lucuma*, raw coconut oil*, raw olive oil*, raw chia seeds*, raw maca*, raw wild chaga mushroom, raw reishi mushroom*, raw chlorella*, passionflower*, non-alcohol vanilla extract*, raw sunflower lecithen, sea salt, stevia* *organic
Now that's impressive! This bar DOES have a texture to it...a crunch due to the chia seeds! When the Chia Seeds are being chewed they do expand. I actually like this. As always I increase my liquid intake when I eat Chia Seeds as it is a dehydrating food, generally speaking. It absorbs the water in your system. But the nutritional benefits of Chia are amazing!
CHAGA This medicinal mushroom boosts immune system, supports the body’s ability to eliminate toxins, stimulates the central nervous system, maintains skin color and elasticity and promotes youthful skin.
CHIA SEEDS Known for it’s great Omega 3 : Omega 6 ratio, chia seeds are a stamina food. Chia boasts a variety of minerals and fiber, making it a supreme energy food that regulates blood pressure, contributed to mental health, bone health, breast health, and prenatal health.
CHLORELLA A powerful detoxifier to environmental toxins, heavy metals (like mercury) and pesticides, chlorella also protects the immune system, provides energy, fights craving, and is an amazing source of vegan protein.
COCONUT OIL An antimicrobial oil that kills unwanted bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Sometimes noted as being more powerful than antibiotics, coconut oil is also a fast absorbing fat that doesn’t effect the waistline. It helps lower total cholesterol and triglycerides, provides quick energy, and protects the immune system.
LUCUMA Loaded with minerals to build bones, teeth, and proteins. Lucuma is a starchy fruit that promotes good digestion and hormone balance.
MACA This superfood is reported to increase energy, balance hormones, increase energy and endurance, support the immune system and boos long-term libido.
OLIVE OIL Very high in antioxidants making it great for fighting free-radicals and preventing aging. This oil is also heart healthy: protecting from high blood pressure and unnatural forms of cholesterol.
PASSION FLOWER A soothing mood booster that calms anxiety and promotes happiness. It helps eliminates stress and promotes good sleep.
REISHI This medicinal mushroom is known for outrageous immune support and helps the body return to homeostasis so it can operate at its upmost level. It also lowers blood pressure, helps with anxiety, enhances nerve function and has a variety of vitamins and minerals.

The company says this product is half supplement - half dessert...being guilt-free as well as a health food.
I really like the addition of the mushrooms, maca, and lucuma as I am familiar with the benefits and enjoy products that include them within the edibles.
Each time I visit their website I see other products and flavors I would like to try! I will say their products are NOT cheap! This bar retails for $7.99. To be honest that sort of made me raise my eyebrows when I saw it...BUT...after sampling it for the first time and realizing it was near impossible for me to consume a whole bar in one sitting I began to wonder just how long it would take me to consume. What I did was eat it a quarter at a time or LESS in some cases. This is a VERY filling and satisfying treat! It's rich and full of flavor. After I realized that it was like you are getting 4 or more 'candy bars' in one.
When I go into specialty stores and see shops pricing chocolate bars for anywhere from $2 to a dozen dollars or more - I think this is a steal! Especially because of all of the Super Foods that it contains!
Overall - I'm pretty JAZZED about this product! It has a lot to offer and it last a while - at least for me - over the coarse of days - or longer - and I really like that! This is a REALLY solid product and great VEGAN TREAT in my book!
