I was first impressed by the fact that Chocolate Agave #9 only has two ingredients: chocolate and agave. How many packaged foods only have 2 ingredients, both of which you can read and understand what they are?! The agave is organic and the chocolate 100% Belgian. I love how simple it is. No chemicals. No preservatives. No refined sugar. And all vegan to boot!

When combined with a plant-based, unrefined sugar, such as agave or raw honey, chia delivers sustained energy. The seeds actually create a physical barrier in the stomach between carbohydrates and digestive enzymes. This results in a slower absorption of sugar into the blood stream, meaning prolonged energy rather than “spiking and bonking.”
