Ecstatic Super Foods: Chocolate!
Powerful Superfoods
Yesterday I went to one of my favorite shops, Organic Shamanic to hear Shazzie, Superfood goddess and chocolate messenger give a talk on one of the most powerful super foods in the world.
It was brilliant! Shazzie is a really cool chic. She is knowledgeable, vibrant, friendly…and she is passionate about chocolate. We aren’t talking about kitkats or mars bars, we’re talking about raw chocolate in its most natural and unadulterated form.
Shazzie and another superfood superstar David Wolf are responsible for the raw chocolate revolution that is currently taking place on the planet. She told us about the first time she and David tried it in Hawaii…she was sent a message from the chocolate Gods!
Did you know that chocolate is one of the most fabulous foods on the entire planet? Of course you did, we all of love chocolate. And the health benefits of eating unprocessed raw chocolate are becoming increasingly well known.
Although I have always known that chocolate had amazing powers, I hadn’t been aware of just how incredible this super foods really is.
- It will lavish you with magnesium more than any other food, which I love to hear because I get cramps in my feet and anxious in my mind, both of which have been helped tremendously by taking magnesium supplements. Magnesium is one of the greatest stress relievers in the world. Perhaps if I eat raw chocolate everyday I can give up the pills. Magnesium also builds strong bones and keeps your teeth happy.
Magnesium is the number one mineral deficiency in the west… no wonder most people are walking around feeling down in the dumps (not to mention full of aches and pains). They need magnesium…or Chocolate!
- It has the highest amount of natural antioxidant supplements of any food on the entire planet (so if we want to stay looking and feeling young, we need to pig out on CHOCOLATE!!)
- Chocolate is vibrating with sulphur…natural skin care anti aging skin care products. For gorgeous skin, lustrous hair and strong nails eat more Sulphur. Think about all those sulphur hot springs that people have been flocking to for millennium for their beautifying properties. Maybe chocolate is like bathing in a hot spring (one of my favorite activities), in food form!
- Chocolate gets the serotonin pumping through your brain…Bliss out! According to Shazzie, it can even open up your heart chakra. It is truly one of the most powerful stress relievers.
- Chocolate is one of the only sources of PEA…the love hormone! If we want to feel more love (as if we don’t) then chocolate may hold the key.
- Raw chocolate is a new anti aging skin care for beauty ingredient because of its natural antioxidant supplements and beauty enhancing properties.
Shazzie’s ultimate message is that chocolate is an ecstatic food that can actually transform our lives. I have had chocolate here and there for the past 6 months. But now I am going to eat chocolate everyday in my healthy smoothie recipes, and after 30 days I will see if I notice a difference (I will let you know!)
Shazzie’s talk was inspiring and truly enjoyable. I not only thought the talk was great, but I really liked her as a person. If you would like to know more about her, check out her uniquely ecstatic website http://www.shazzie.com.

Hi Sheryl,
I really love your blog, and can relate to most of the information. The chocolate one resonated really strongly as I have only recently found out about dark chocolate being so high in antioxidants and so good for you.
You talk about raw chocolate, and what I’m now taking every day is cold processed chocolate, which doesn’t destroy the antioxidants. It is delicious!!! And even better because you know it is so good for you.
You may not be interested in this, but if you go to my website you can find out about the Xocai company. Xocai is chocolate blended with acai and other berries, and you know the health benefits of that.
I must say I’ve been feeling heaps better and have more energy since I’ve been eating this chocolate every day.
Cheers,
Maggie

It is delicious dark natural chocolate that is unprocessed so no added fats or sugar, plus it tastes great, apparently there is also a business franchise starting in the UK in January!
