Chocolate has been a celebrated food and drink for centuries, and consuming chocolate has traditionally been something to savor as a decadent indulgence. But chocolate has undergone a nutritional renaissance thanks to the discovery that cocoa - the basic ingredient in chocolate - is not only not bad for you, it's nutritious superfood. Cocoa powder like this organic cocoa powder from NOW Foods is full of heart-healthy antioxidants, fiber, protein and has a far higher concentration of mood-enhancing compounds than chocolate. Not to mention an deep rich chocolate taste when sweetened just enough to offset cocoa inherent bitterness. Use NOW Organic Cocoa Powder as you would any cocoa powder, great when added to shakes, coffee or baking recipes.

The BEST cocoa money can buy! BAR NONE!

This stuff is the best for brownies, but adding a little to my protein shake is awesome. If you bake, and you like chocolate, this is a must have. Don't just buy 1, you'll end up crying when you run out.

You dont know what a chocolate protein shake is until you've added this to your protein powder.

I love chocolate but most chocolate protein powders are a far cry from actually tasting like chocolate. Sure, they're brown like chocolate and sweet like chocolate but that's about it. My girlfriend bought this with baking in mind but when we added a few tablespoons to some to Jarrow unflavored whey along with some xylitol (to sweeten it) and lecithin granules (for a creamy texture and nutritious phospholipids)....we were blown away by the intense, deeply chocolate flavor from the NOW cocoa powder. It's unsweetened so you can use it almost any way you want. And beyond tasting great, cocoa powder is full of antioxidants. Makes a great cafe mocha when mixed into hot, sweetened coffee, too.
