Raw Chocolate Syrup
Raw Chocolate Syrup Nutritional Facts
A wonderful treat that you might think is too delicious to be healthy!!
Most chocolate syrups are made from water, processed cocoa powder and sugar. The water is rarely purified, the cocoa is exposed to high temperatures and the sugar is bleached and refined. In addition, they contain caramel colours, gums, phosphoric acid, and artificial flavours as well as potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate as preservatives. No wonder this type of product is considered unhealthy and a cause of tooth decay and weak immune systems.
Want healthy chocolate syrup with a low glycemic index that is high in antioxidants? How about chocolate syrup that does not contain any preservatives, gums or artificial ingredients? Then you have to try this with Raw Chocolate Syrup.
- Ingredient#1:
Agave nectar is a delicious natural sweetener, milder than honey, made from the blue agave plant, a cactus that grows in the desert. This nectar is high in natural sugars that do not create a dramatic rise in blood glucose levels. While pure glucose has a glycemic index of 100 and white sugar a glycemic index of 68, honey only has a glycemic index of 55. Not to be out done, natural, raw agave from the blue agave plant has a glycemic index of 37. Food with glycemic indexes under 55 are considered low glycemic foods.
- Ingredient #2:
In addition to the low glycemic nature of raw agave nectar, this delicious raw chocolate syrup also contains raw cacao powder. Raw cacao powder comes from the bean that eventually becomes chocolate. Unlike chocolate, however, these beans are never heated and they are still loaded with all their natural antioxidants. While the ORAC score on fresh blueberries is around 32 (per gram), this natural raw chocolate syrup boasts of a 245 ORAC score (per gram), proving it is loaded with natural antioxidants and surprisingly healthy!
No other ingredients:
Since there is no water added to this product, it is shelf stable without the addition of preservatives. Since there is no water added, there is no need for gums, artificial flavours or any other additives. That is it; there are no other ingredients. Yet this completely natural, healthy syrup is shelf stable and does not require any refrigeration.
Delicious!
Not only is this raw chocolate syrup high in antioxidants with a very low glycemic index, but it is one of the most delicious health foods you will find on the internet. It is so delicious it is hard to believe this product can actually be healthy.
How do I use this syrup?

You will not find a richer, more delicious chocolate milk or hot chocolate than you can make with this yummy syrup.

Raw chocolate syrup is great on pancakes, fruit, and puddings, in smoothies, bars and raw frostings.
