Navitas Organics Cacao Powder - Cocoa Powder Substitute 1:1, For Hot Chocolate, Baking & More - Regenerative Organic Certified, Non GMO, Fairtrade, Gluten Free, Non-alkalized (24oz. Bag, 113 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!

This Navitas Organics cacao powder has great flavor—rich, smooth, and not bitter. It works perfectly as a 1:1 cocoa substitute for hot chocolate, baking, smoothies, anything. Clean ingredients and excellent quality.

Great tast and a very smooth added chocolate flavor to my daily mushroom coffee ☕

Cacao has naturally occurring heavy metals - just can’t get away from it. However, I have found this Cacao to be have some of the lowest heavy metal content. I appreciate the fact they have it third party tested, so results will naturally change with each batch. I use it in my coffee and smoothies for the heath benefits. It’s a bonus that it adds such a richness of flavor, tastes great and blends well. I have used this product for years and will continue to do so. Just as an aside, I am 64, I have had high cholesterol for years, my diet is mostly keto. My doctor wanted to put me on cholesterol medication. Instead, I had a Coronary arterial scan (CAC) to see if I had plaque buildup and my score was zero. Speaking for myself, I believe this has greatly helped me avoid cholesterol medication. Cacao is just really good for your health in so many ways.

Good stuff, will purchase a gain!

Great taste. Mixes easily. I have noticed better circulation, energy and my memory is definitely improved.!!

Potent, pure and absolutely delicious!!! Mixes so well in my coffee, best part of starting my day!!!

I replaced morning coffee with a 20 ounce mug of hot chocolate years ago, and have sampled most of the major brands of cacao powder. I've found Navitas to be very consistent in tase and quality, with the added benefit of being a brand concerned with providing a product low in trace cadmium and lead, which I appreciate. They've been my go to for several years.

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

Very rich clean flavour, super happy with this purchase!

Always add a spoon to my coffee

Very lovely taste
