Food review: Raw Intent’s Raw Chocolate Pie Bites
RRP – £3.49
Rating: ****1/2 (out of 5)
Review by: Alexa Williamson
For chocolate lovers – especially those who are into dark chocolate – this is a heavenly experience as it’s all natural with the main ingredient being raw cacao, mixed with coconut butter, brazil nuts, macadamia, almonds, agave (a natural plant sweetener instead of sucrose), fructooligosaccharides (which help to promote gut flora growth), carob, lucuma and vanilla. With so few, it’s easy to list them out.
I loved this chocolate as shortly after eating it, the anti-oxidants in the cacao and the essential fatty acids and proteins in the nuts gave me a real intelligence burst. Plus, I also noticed a fantastic serotonin rush and instant happy mood, which one gets from pure cocoa, for about six hours after consuming this. The results were better than a regular chocolate bar, such as Cadbury’s, because the ingredients were 100% natural and not diluted with milk.
And, finally, the chocolate, is according to Raw Intent, suitable for people who need to be on a “sugar free*, dairy free, gluten free, heat free, additive free, chemical free” diet, but still want to eat treats.
* Agave and lacuma are natural sugars but have a low GI content, which Raw Intent say, “are suitable for people with blood sugar disorders”.
