Had felt scared inside at a conversation I knew I'd have to have about something not my fault that I had to treat delicately in view of my own great number of faults and failings. I came through with flying colors with the help of God and a lot of prayer over a long period not having to do with this particular 'challenge! But today also, seemed obvious that the lift I got from the first tablespoon of Viva Cacao caused a fresh aliveness to pervade me right away - so easy to stir into some cold Celestial Seasonings Sleeptime tea... which I like to have as my breakfast as well as at night. That fresh aliveness helped me be as articulate as I can be; I was 'at my best.' So the other person was at his best, too.To make things even better: Am a one meal a day person now. I have that smoothie roughly between Noon and 2 pm. My only other food is 16 oz of home cultured milk kefir, at night. I am already pretty sure that the mornings cacao isn't going to keep me awake - won't feel agitated or stimulated.I will be buying again.  Read Less

We had a previously available organic cacao powder on our monthly Amazon subscription program, and loved it! But a month ago it disappeared from Amazon, and we had to make a short-notice substitution. After some research, we added one that turned out to be almost as good, and we were satisfied. But we hoped the original brand in our monthly Amazon subscription would return. It did not.I decided to do more research among the other brands available on Amazon, and found this. with the Crillo beans and where it's grown, I decided to do a separate purchase in hopes of getting it before we had to make a decision on whether to keep the other product on a monthly subscription basis or not. We missed that opportunity by a couple of days, so at the moment we've got extra cacao - for now.We've had this Viva Naturals product for only a couple of days, but both my wife and I absolutely agree this is the best we've ever had - by far! There is zero bitterness, no disagreeable aftertaste that sometimes is present with lesser quality cacao, and the flavor is superior to anything we've ever had before. It's our new favorite.What we tried out as our subscription substitute product last month was GOING to be rated 5-stars as was the previous product that disappeared from Amazon. However, I just finished reviewing the substitute product and gave it a VERY strong 4-star rating -- simply because this (Viva Naturals) is so superior I felt it was the only one that deserved a full 5-star review.I just hope this becomes available for subscription, because I intend to delete the other product from our subscription regardless, and will separately purchase this from now on if I can't get it on subscription. My wife literally can eat a spoonful and enjoy it! I'm not QUITE there with any brand of raw cacao powder, but this one is almost that good to me all by itself as well. I'm honestly amazed at the difference. The Crillo beans and the native location for growing them are a perfect combination. (We don't particularly recommend eating it by itself simply because it's a very fine powder, and does NOT need to be accidentally inhaled into the lungs! But she considers it almost worth the risk! LOL) This is a best-of-the-best 5-star product -- REGARDLESS of the California labeling laws (I won't get started on that!). It's WELL worth the only slightly higher price compared to our previous brands.  Read Less
