These heavenly cups are made up of cacao, real vanilla and goji berries, sweetened with pure evaporated cane juice and mesquite powder, with a little crunch from cacao nibs and a few salt crystals that really satisfy that chocolate craving. So healthy for you, too. Gluten-free and dairy-free, made from all non-GMO ingredients. All wrapped up in pretty blue-green paper lined foil.
Ingredients: Unsweetened chocolate, pure evaporated cane juice, goji berries, Klamath Blue-Green Algae (1,000 mg!), raw cacao nibs, mesquite powder, cocoa butter, soy lecithin, real vanilla, Miracle Krystal Salt.
All chocolate is made from the cacao (cocoa) bean, and cacao beans in their natural, unprocessed, unadulterated state are rich in nutrients and beneficial to health. Cacao has been newly recognized as a superfood in its own right. It is literally a powerhouse of nutrients, including carbohydrates, protein, free-form amino acids, essential fats and fatty acids, and minerals. Its high levels of bioflavonoids make it one of the richest food sources of antioxidants.
Some of the benefits from eating cacao are: Promotes cardiovascular health ~ Protects us from toxins ~ Increases the levels of neurotransmitters in the brain that promote positive outlook, facilitate rejuvenation, and help us feel good ~ Balances brain chemistry ~ Builds strong bones ~ Helps regulate heartbeat and blood pressure ~ Promotes beautiful skin ~ Detoxifies the liver ~ Supports healthy pancreas functioning
The goji berry, a sweet red fruit native to Asia, serves as both a botanical medicine and a food, and has a very pleasant taste, somewhere between a cherry and a cranberry. It has been used as a medicinal food for thousands of years, and has been studied extensively in modern times to substantiate its health benefits. With over 15% protein, 21 essential minerals, and 18 amino acids, as well as lycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBP), goji berry is a nutrient-dense superfood in a class all its own.
Here are just a few of the many benefits you get from eating goji berries: Strengthens the immune system ~ Provides antioxidant and anti-aging effects ~ Protects the liver ~ Builds strong blood ~ Promotes cardiovascular health ~ Supports eye health and improves vision
Aphanizomenon flos aquae (AFA) is among the most nutrient-rich foods on the planet, containing the most vitamin B12 and one of the greatest quantities of chlorophyll of any food source. It also provides high amounts of beta-carotene, antioxidant compounds, a full spectrum of minerals, and 11 pigments, some of which are precursors to other vitamins, enzymes, and co-enzymes. Due to its wealth of choline, AFA has a beneficial impact upon brain synchronization, and especially enhances the hypothalamus, pineal, and pituitary glands.
Blue Green Algae delivers a broad spectrum of benefits including: Enhancing the immune system ~ Assisting memory ~ Purifying the blood ~ Quelling inflammation ~ Boosting energy, endurance, and stamina ~ Fighting cancer ~ Aiding weight loss
Mesquite flour is a nutritious powder with a sweet, nutty flavor. The flour is ground from the seed pods of the mesquite plant, also known as algorroba, a leguminous plant found in arid areas around the world, including parts of South America and the southwestern U.S.
Mesquite is highly effective in balancing blood sugar. Because its sugar is in the form of fructose, which does not require insulin for metabolism, mesquite helps maintain a constant blood sugar level for a sustained period of time. With a glycemic index of 25 and a high percentage (25%) of dietary fiber, it digests more slowly than many grains, preventing sharp rises and falls in blood sugar. Mesquite thus supports the diet of diabetics, and helps maintain a healthy insulin system in others.
Himalayan crystal salt comes from the East Karakoram range of the Himalayan Mountains. This is salt in a crystalline form that still contains its full matrix of minerals and is taken from a 250-million-year-old mine that was once a large ocean. The minerals in this ancient salt carry much more life force than most sea salt and especially any commercial plain salt on the market.
It has a wide range of beneficial characteristics: Contains all minerals and trace elements essential to the body’s health ~ Has a highly crystalline structure that allows the nutrients to be absorbed at the cellular level ~ Helps restore the body’s alkaline balance and electrolytes

Was pleasantly surprised how good these Clarity bars were. Wish they were cheaper though...not sure if I'd buy another 10 pack b/c of the price, but tasted pretty good. (Posted on 11/15/12)

So upon taking the first bite of this I wasn't sure I was going to like it, however after getting a few bites in I started to really enjoy it. These little guys gave me an energy kick, so much in fact I wouldn't suggest eating one before bed. I had some troubles falling asleep because I had one for dessert ;) (Posted on 11/15/12)

As I worked at natural food stores and had the opportunity to try different cocoa and chocolate bars, I found that these were my all-time favorite. I am a chocolate LOVER, so this means a lot to me being a "chocolate snob". If you love the real thing, or just like dark chocolate that's not oversugary- this is it. For over a year I ate one a day, during my weak moments to get me through work!! ;) (Posted on 11/15/12)

They are not sweet; which I like, and they have a rich chocolatey texture. I love the crunch and the goji berries. I will keep ordering whenever I can along with the Brazil Nut and Mulberry raw cacao snacks; I love them too! (Posted on 11/15/12)

I truly love these treats. They are not sweet, which I like, but are very tasty and satisfying when I need a little pick-me-up. I love chocolate, but avoid any which contains sugar, so this is just perfect. I only have one left, so it is time to reorder. I highly recommend these delicious, healthy, treats for anyone who is health-conscious. (Posted on 11/15/12)

They are tasty as they are satisfying and healthy. However, even at $13 for ten one ounce pieces, spending over a dollar a piece is a bit much. (Posted on 11/15/12)

I've been ordering these for a few years, and I love them so much. I've found Live Superfoods to offer the best price too. I love to share these with people and get them hooked :) (Posted on 11/15/12)

i really like them. I wasn't expecting them to be so tasty, not like a health bar or protein bar, more like a dark chocolate snack. I will buy them again. (Posted on 11/15/12)

We even give them away so we can share the yummy indulgence. I love the nutty grainy texture. You know your not just getting a cheap chocolate bar not to mention brands. What a total pleasure snack.

Honestly I was expecting bars and not pieces of chocolate, however the taste and the effect are great. I can definitely see myself putting in more orders of these chocolates in the future. (Posted on 11/15/12)

I think introducing children to healthy chocolate is important. There are too many disgusting things in most snacks these days, and these are a delicious and way healthier alternative. I love these, and am so glad a local store carries them as well. If you're more into milk chocolate and texture is important to you, then it may take some getting used to. I don't mind it at all, since I enjoy cacao nibs and goji berries :) (Posted on 11/15/12)

The very first one tasted a tad dry, and its been a taste-bud love affair ever since. I have a supply of these at the office and at home. They are delicious and nutritious and somewhat addictive. While I am not compelled to consume these chocolates all-day-long, I do look quite forward to having a couple everyday. (Posted on 11/15/12)

There is a rough texture to the chocolate as well as almost an after taste of fish oil to these bars. I will finish them as they were so expensive but will not re-order. They may be good for me but I think you can have both great composition and great nutritional value. (Posted on 11/15/12)

These cacao berry clarity bars are excellent. They have a solid texture, with a little crunch from the cacao nibs, and an occasional chewy berry. They have just enough of the nibs and berries to compliment the cacao flavor. And they are fun to eat. I will purchase these again. Thank you. (Posted on 11/15/12)

I liked the Clarity Bar. It offers a chocolate treat without the added sugar. This is important since I've learned that I'm very sensitive to refined sugar and additives. I felt really good after enjoying the Clarity Bar. And yes, you CAN only eat one and be completely satisfied. :) (Posted on 11/15/12)
