Note: There is also a comparison review of all healthy chocolates that I've reviewed and that are sold through network marketing (aka MLM). Keep in mind, you can enjoy any of these chocolates without having to engage in the "income opportunity" aspect, but they do give you that option. Each of these also has its own review page.
ChocoNat Review
Summary: - Cold-processed (raw) cacao.
- Organic.
- Fair Trade.
- Uses raw cane juice (low-glycemic, unrefined sugar) as its sweetener.
- Berries, probiotics, or extra cacao added to different flavors.
To keep my reviews consistent for "apples to apples" comparisons, I use the same overall structure for each.
Cacao Content:
70% to 75%, depending on the flavor.
Organic:
ChocoNat is the only MLM chocolate I know of using organic cacao and other ingredients. I consider this important since consumers are spending a good deal of money purchasing these chocolates as "healthy." Cacao's fat content stores pesticides, and most non-organic cacao trees are heavily sprayed.
Fair Trade:
The only "fair trade" certified MLM chocolate I've reviewed. This ensures that there is no child labor or slavery involved, which is a major problem in the chocolate industry.
Sweetener
ChocoNat uses raw cane juice, which is unrefined and low-glycemic (around 23).Proprietary Formulas In order to separate themselves from being "just another chocolate," most healthy chocolates sold through network marketing (MLM) add something extra to their chocolate to help market it. ChocoNat is no exception. The relative amount of such ingredients will typically be quite small compared to the chocolate content, so it's hard to know how far the benefits will go for any given person.
Brut
This flavor has extra cacao -- 75% cacao content -- for a darker flavor and less sweetener.
Berries
This flavor adds acai and maqui berries.
Probiotic
This flavor adds probiotics to support immunity and aid in digestion.
Taste
There are different flavors, but they typically taste like a high grade dark chocolate. Everyone I've given ChocoNat to has loved it.
Magnesium
This will be tested. At the moment, they do not claim a specific amount of magnesium. I would estimate a minimum of 20 to 22 mg of magnesium in a single piece.
ORAC Scores
If you've read my page on ORAC scores, you know that this topic can be misleading. Experts recommend that we get up to 5000 ORAC units in a day, and that anything more may be redundant. Those promoting ORAC scores will probably argue against this.
ChocoNat claims to have 5000+ ORAC in a single 10-gram piece of chocolate.
By the gram, ORAC comparisons are as follows:
ChocoNat: 500+
Tru Chocolate: 380
Xocai Nuggets: 260
Xocai Power Squares: 600
IsaDelight: 530
Fat, Calories, and Sugar
One 10-gram piece has about 4 grams of fat, 60 calories, and 2.5 grams or less of raw cane juice as a sweetener.
BOTTOM LINE
I developed this website in 2008 when investigating chocolate businesses for myself and found that none of them provided me with what I was looking for. Today, I have joined ChocoNat because the chocolate is superior and the business model is one of the best I have seen, with no cost to join, an affordable monthly cost, a simple compensation plan, and profit sharing with every active member on autoship in the company.
