I discovered your channel yesterday and find myself binge watching your videos! I really like your concept and your mindset! Thank you for your content and I really want some chocolate now :D
Omg yay! So glad you're enjoying my content!!! :D Thanks so much for watching! I appreciate it :)
I LOVE dark chocolate, I like the bitter flavor and not really milk so I'd love all the ones you recommended. Plus HEALTH lol
I second that.
You'd love the Nohmad extra dark!!! :)
this is the only video that matters
😄
I never need to make another video again lol
Eating agave is just like eating corn syrup (to put things into perspective) many people think it’s this magical alternative to sugar with an array of health benefits. No
CHOCO-HOLICS WYA? 🍫❤
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I work at a chocolate store so this is right up my alley!! I LOVE dark chocolate!!! Dark chocolate covered ginger is my favourite 😋🙆♀️
YES TO THIS VIDEO! As someone who is obsessed with chocolate, lactose intolerant, and recently gluten free and now fully soy free, it is such perfect timing to have this video! I was starting to feel very overwhelmed and just sad by the fact that all the chocolates that were accessible to me through shopping all had soy if they were dairy free. I now am excited to try all the brands you mentioned that fit me needs... Because this girl can't be without her chocolate.
haha yeeeesssss 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 so glad I can help you enjoy chocolate again hahahah life would not be the same without it!
I am the same way can't do dairy or soy 😣 but I found the most affordable dairy free soy free gluten free chocolate that comes in different flavors like coconut maca sea salt & almond all are dark chocolate is the organic Kroger brand chocolate it's called simply organic it's all dark chocolate but if you like milk chocolate the closest to tasting & texture is the coconut dark chocolate they're all tasty I love the almond dark chocolate right now but they only cost $2.79 per bar
It’s like a door to a whole new world! Love your vid!!!
In fact, cacao liquor is the grounded less processed part of the chocolate... in other words, after toasted, cacao beans are grounded and the result is cacao liquor, then it gets chilled and pressed and split in cacao butter and pure cacao... well, I'm not sure if I'm using the correct words (struggle with english). But instead of mixing cacao and cacao butter, the cacao liquor is both and is less processed.
So sad none of them are sold or send to my country :(
Another huge fan of chocolate!!! Love ya!
If you haven’t tried Honey Mama’s cacao nectar bars, they are amazing! Super clean ingredients and really unique flavors. I picked up the lavender red rose bar and haven’t tried any other because I love that one so much. They are a little more spongey (also refrigerated) than normal chocolate because they use shredded coconut and honey as the base, but they are melt in your mouth!
Just looked into them and I love the ingredients except for the fact that they use cocoa (rather than cacao) that is is processed with alkali which significantly reduces the nutrient content of the cacao. So while the ingredients themselves are "clean," its not as nutrient dense as chocolate made with pure cacao powder.
I usually just make that paleo chocolate freezer fudge, but I always wanted to make my own chocolate.. grind up some cocoa nibs, melt in cocoa butter, honey and mint, but it's probably just as expensive as buying the healthy chocolate bars lol! You could be so creative if you made your own, but buying a bar is too easy though haha!
haha yeah if you want high quality cacao I think it could be just as expensive. But at least then you have good control over everything that goes in it! I would love to start making my own chocolate once I have more time :)
As a diabetic I shall enjoy chocolate vicariously through you. I only eat it on my birthday.
oh noooooo :( I would be so sad if I couldn't eat chocolate. But then again I can't eat gluten which is pretty rough lol
Loving Earth Mint is my FAVE! They also had a limited edition Matcha block a little while ago :) Their packaging is entirely decompostable too! Yay for Aus
I am also a chocoholic. You really need to try the real Healthy Chocolate. One of our beyond power squares is over 600 mg of cocoa flavonoids. one 35 calorie Beyond chocolate is equal in antioxidants to over 1 pound of raw spinach. I eat this every day. Awesome product.
So many of these would compliment smoothie bowls or oats! 😍🖤
YESSSSSS
Lily's chocolates are my favorite! I just did a Thrive Market unboxing on my channel and showed my Lily's haul. The addiction is real!
I've heard of that brand! Never tried it though because I'm not the biggest fan of the erythritol and soy lecithin. But its definitely a great option! :)
I watched this just before I rolled up to my local healthy grocery store. Pray for me, you guys. 🍫
Thanks for this video Marisa. I, like you, need chocolate to live. I'm looking forward to trying to Nohmad chocolate brand. Also, I can't believe you kept that much chocolate in your house without eating it for so long.
Thank you for all your videos Marisa! This was super interesting and I'm definitely planning on purchasing and trying some of these for myself 🌞
You're welcome! :D I hope you enjoy your chocolate!
The perfect video to watch while devouring my Theo’s choc (awesome ingredients!!), and Lily’s choc. 😍🍫
Omg I've never heard of Theo's chocolate but the ingredients look AMAZING!!! Is it sold in stores or do you have to get it online?
I buy mine from Natural Grocers 😊🙌🏽
Yay the intro is back!!!
Everyone was so sad that it wasn't in my last video hahah I was so surprised! So now it is here to stay :)
HOLD UP
did you just make a nerdfighter reference??!! 😱😱😱 because YES
dftba 🙌🏻
starts 4:38
Thank you for talking about soy lecithin, since I am allergic to that!!!! Not many people know they r allergic to it
Oh wow I didn’t realize people had allergies to it! I guess it makes total sense that a lot of people would be sensitive to it because it comes from soy and a lot of people are intolerant to soy! Hadn’t even thought about that but that’s super important
What watch do you have!? Also love Nohmad chocolate that I learned about from your channel from a previous video.
Its a Withings Go! I won it in an instagram contest at my college lol. I wouldn't spend money on a fitness tracker, especially this one because it only tracks steps and sleep
So glad you love Nohmad!!! Its definitely my go-to :)
I LOVE this video so much 😍😍😍😍😍Heavenly organics dark chocolate patties and HU hazelnut butter are also must try from those brands!
Yes the hazelnut butter Hu chocolate is sooooooo delicious 😍 😍 😍 😍 I haven't tried the dark chocolate patties but I'll put those on my list!
I eat 6 chocolate bar per week at least, one of my favorite is hu, is really smooth and melts in your.mouth kind of like butter but better, the bitterness is well balanced with sweetness at the same time both flavor are not overpowering
CHOOOOOCOOOLAAAATTEEE!!! take my heart, take my land, take me where I can not stand. You can try but I'm still free you can't take my chocolate from me!
Hahahahhahaha
Can you make a video about how to pick a "healthy chocolate"?
Also, great vid!
I mean, thats what this video was supposed to be 😂Essentially, I look for two things: 1. its dark chocolate (75% and above), and 2. the ingredients are quality ingredients (there are no fillers, additives, or unnecessary ingredients and the sweetener used is a less processed sweetener). I talked through the ingredient quality in this video using the different chocolates as an example. So like you want something made with cacao instead of cocoa. And I try to avoid sugar alcohols. Basically, the ingredients should be: cacao, cacao butter, some unprocessed sweetener, and any other whole foods that they add in for flavor and texture like peanuts, salt, etc. Hope that helps!
just found your channel. I loved last year's video about IF. followed you here and on IG. :) oh, I do IF and I love chocolates too! :P
Thanks so much! I appreciate the follow :)
I love it when content providers interact with us followers. Thanks for the reply. It's much appreciated. More power! :)
Yessss! Thank you for doing this video, I would marry chocolate if it was legal! 🍫👰🏼
Marisa - first time commenter. You're the best. I'm a huge food nerd, and I love your work. But - I have a chocolate question.
I eat 100% dark chocolate bars (yes, 100%) almost every single day, typically 1-2 oz at a time. Despite the RIDICULOUS phytic acid content, I can't find anyone on the Internet talking about phytic acid as a reason NOT to consume chocolate. I couldn't even find any studies about it!
For context, I am primarily carnivore, but I like to supplement with avocado, light veg, and shit tons of chocolate. What's your two cents?
So to make chocolate, the beans are first fermented, and then usually heat-processed as well, and both heating and fermentation destroy a lot of the phytic acid. Also since you're eating a lot of meat, phytic acid isn't something you need to worry about. Yes, it make absorption of certain minerals more difficult but it's unlikely that a little phytic acid will make you deficient in anything as long as you're consuming enough nutrient rich foods
Thanks, friend!
That soundtrack is so amazing
RIGHT????? :D
Do these healthy chocolate selections take into account lead and cadmium levels? I love me some good dark chocolate (ideally, >90% cacao) but I’m not sure what brands have low levels of those elements.
I'm still waiting to see more content like your second channel , with random thoughts and outtakes, something like bitsfitandnerdy perhaps🤔?
You mean like not health and fitness related stuff?
MissFitAndNerdy Yeah, kind of. 👉👈
Giddy yo yo has a chocolate bar with chaga that you NEED to try
Omg I've never heard of them but I just looked it up and I NEED TO TRY IT ASAP OMG
THANK YOU FOR SHARING
No problem! You probably haven't heard of them because they're a Canadian brand. But they have some great stuff!
I LOVE this video and the into song!!!!!!!
yay!!! Thank you!!! :)
This is the best video ever. EVER
Woooooo!!! I agree, chocolate is the best thing ever lol
If you can find the 'very buck 'n' berry' flavor from loving earth, i think you will like that one a lot. That's my favorite one from them.
I don’t like fruit in my chocolate haha. Idk why it just tastes funny to me 😂
Can you get any of these on Thrive Market besides HU or Evolved?
I can't remember if you've already done this, but have you reviewed the Dr Axe bone broth flavors? I can't get the multiple flavor set where I am so I'm wondering which flavors do you think is best
I've only tried one or two. My mom has the vanilla and the unflavored and I think I've enjoyed them both in smoothies but I don't really remember. I also have the keto chocolate protein and I'm really not a fan
there are some amazing U.K. brand raw and healthy chocolates I’m in love with m. If you’re ever in London hmu I have a million recommendations!!
Have you tried the Enjoy Life dark chocolate? Really good!
I haven't tried them but I will look into them! :D
So which one was the best tasting!?! You didn't say. 😂 And I've had those honey chocolate patties, they're super good!
Nohmad and Hu Kitchen are my favorites :)
You should melt all of the chocolate together and try it
Hahahahaha that would be amazing
Best keto bars? Any suggestions?
Eating evolved has keto coconut cups :)
None,we get in India .. ! N when concerted in Indian money it's super expensive and my mouth is watering and is sad ! Health and chocolate is love 😙😂
Well... now I want chocolate... 🍫
Well I linked all of these in the description so you can order ALL of them lol 😉😝
There is a branch in Germany that has just launched their protein chocolate. It has 50 % less sugar (the sugar they use is coconutsugar) and 22 % proteins. They get their ingrediences doing fairtrade. I don´t know if they ship to the US. But you could have a look www.raccoonchoc.de/shop/
You could make yourself some from scratch... I'm sure that would make a fun video.
i love dark chocolate
Well then you'll love a lot of these :D
Its as if your daily macros cried out all at once and then were suddenly silenced.
nah, I still hit my macros haha. I just planned carefully :)
I have terrible self-discipline when it comes to chocolate... I would have eaten that whole bag in one sitting then went to find another bag...
Rob Moore Same here. If I even allow myself one bite I’m screaming for pounds of it lol
Thats definitely the case with me when it comes to "unhealthy" chocolate. Like, stick 2 hershey's bars in front of me and they will be gone in 20 seconds. What I love about these chocolates is that they satisfy the chocolate craving SO much better because they're much more rich and nutrient dense :)
Have you tried Honey Mama's chocolate? I found it in a local store and my office is now obsessed! www.honeymamas.com
I've seen this! But I haven't tried it yet! Next time i'm at the store, I'll grab some!
best way is to make chocolate yourself. or get the real stuff, like the Lindt 99 %
I agree! But you have to have the time to make your own chocolate haha. If I had enough time I'd make all of my own food lol but until that time comes, I need someone else to make it for me hahaha
it just takes like a minute to make. melt coconut oil or cocoa butter in hot water or microwave, stir in some cocoa powder, pour it into a form. then it only needs like 5 minutes to get solid in the freezer. done.
I'd rather spend those minutes sleeping or at the gym or actually having a life lol. I literally have zero time in my schedule right now--barely have time for the gym, let alone actually having friends lol--so I have to cut corners where I can.
My dad and i have been buying hu chocolate for months lol
Its amazing!!!
MissFitAndNerdy it really is!
Hi cutie. You’re just so cute and energetic. I have nothing else to say. By the way can you be my white chocolate?
You are talking too much 🙄
If you want a video with just chewing and no talking, I suggest looking for ASMR videos, not review videos lol
pakki priya did you think she was just gonna stare in the camera and just eat chocolate 😂😂
right?? Idk what people who say this want me to do... like, I think it would be pretty awkward for everyone involved if I just stared at the camera and ate chocolate 😂😂😂
it's a review😉
