The other day I received a spiffy package in the mail…
Navitas Naturals sent me a few products to try out:
“Navitas Naturals cacao beans are hand selected for quality, partially fermented to alleviate bitterness, and processed at low temperatures for maximum nutrient retention. Once extracted from the pod-like fruit, purified water is then used to cleanse the beans where they are peeled and partially ground to form small pieces or “nibs.” Navitas Naturals Cacao Nibs contain 100% pure cacao that is certified organic, kosher, gluten-free, vegan, and raw.”
“Navitas Naturals Palm Sugar is made from the sun-kissed sweet juice of the tropical coconut palm sugar blossoms. Once the nectar is collected, it is kettle-boiled into a thick caramel, dried, and ground into a fine crystalized powder. Our Palm Sugar is 100% organic, vegan, kosher, gluten-free, and sustainably-grown.”
“Navitas Naturals Acai Power comes from the low-lying coastal areas of Brazil. Due to the delicate nature of the berry, the fruit is transported immediately after harvest where it is hand-inspected for quality. The whole berries are then freeze-dried and low temperature milled to ensure maximum nutrient content, resulting in a powder that is both nutrient-rich and easily integrated into your favorite recipes. The only ingredient in our wonderful Acai Power is pure 100% organic acai that is also certified kosher and vegan.”
“Stainless steel loop cap for easy handling, 100% food grade 18/8 stainless steel bottle, Wide-mouth design, fits ice cubes, Easy cleaning, Reusable & 100% recyclable, Dishwater-safe”
And also a recipe book…
Which has a ton of awesome recipes! I can’t wait to try them all!
I decided to to finally make the bran muffins I had…
I started with the dry ingredients…
I added two tablespoons of the Cacao Sweet Nips, one tablespoon of flaxseed, the mixture and some butter. Then the wet ingredients…
and blend…
filled into the mini muffin pans…
and then baked for 10-15 minutes on 350 degrees…
and viola! Mini-Muffins!
Really tasty, the cacao nips give it the perfect little sweet bite. 
Now that its getting a bit warmer out, I’ll have to start marking smoothies and try all those recipes!
Who’s saying what?
