My family loves chocolate. While doing some reading about raw chocolate recently I was introduced to Righteously Raw. Intrigued, I reached out to them and was so happy to hear they would be sending us some items to review! [*]
So happy, in fact, I broke my no chocolate rule to taste them. I could not resist after all the praise I’ve heard from other Paleo eaters! Not only are these chocolates raw, they are organic and the truffles are coupled with superfoods. Best of all, the ingredient list is so simple!
Let’s go over the certifications and general deets:
We received several items from Righteously Raw to taste. First, Luv and I dug into the Raw Coconut Macaroons.
Organic coconut has been a staple in my diet for the past few months so these macaroons were a delicious treat! They feature raw organic sun-dried coconut covered in the raw and organic cocao. My sweet tooth was satisfied and it successfully silenced my late night hunger pang. I thoroughly enjoyed these macaroons! A guilt-free treat that also fueled my body.
I liked them and I think they are tasty. I liked the inside the best. It was really, really tasty. I want more of them.

We also enjoyed a few varieties of the Righteously Raw cocao bars. Amazingly, these do not pass 35 on the glycemic scale. They are naturally low glycemic which I appreciate since I cut my sugar intake dramatically. I didn’t feel that sugar crash that followed after eating “sweets” months ago. Using ingredients that are naturally sweet does wonders!
Goji:
90% raw cocoa envelops Goji berries, Turkish figs, and golden Hunza raisins. Goji berries are famous for their believed benefits in traditional Chinese medicine; like boosting the immune system, protecting the liver, aiding circulation, and providing energy. This fruit filling blend is delicious, savory, and contains 8 essential amino acids, and a plethora of trace minerals.
Chocolate:
This bar features the nutty flavor of the Maca root which covers a dark Ecuadorian chocolate fudge truffle. Maca root is a superfood hailing from the Andes. Maca contains over 55 phytonutrients and is said to help balance hormones {and improve libido} and boost energy levels. The pairing of Maca root with raw cocao butter and the sweetness of dates and raisins makes for a wonderful flavor.
Lúcuma Caramel:
My favorite of the bunch. 90% raw cocao blankets a smooth low-glycemic “caramel” made of dates and a subtropical Peruvian fruit named lúcuma. It is rich in beta-carotene as well.
I definitely feel like my appreciation for chocolate had a wake up call. I think Righteously Raw is for a pure cocao aficionado’s palate. I has no idea chocolate could be so refined and delicious!
Buy:
Look for Righteously Raw at your local natural foods market! I’ve spotted them at Whole Foods, PCC Markets, and our local co-op. Prices range from $5.49-$8.49.

That looks delicious! I love chocolate. Also love Luv’s messy hair – cute!
Haha! Thank you. Her hair gets so crazy, I love it 🙂
If I had a “no chocolate rule,” it would last about a minute — especially with this stuff in the house!
These Righteously Raw chocolates are right up my ally. Those coconut macaroons and the turkish fig bar looks amazing! Looking next time I am at Whole Foods!
It’s good to know that there are some healthy chocolate alternatives out there for people on stricter or special diets, or those who simply want to eat a more healthy treat. I’m not sure they’re for me, since I do love my particular brand of candy covered chocolate. These look pretty tasty in the pictures, too.
The caramel sounds wonderful and that would have been the one I tried first. They are just coming out with more and more of our favorite things that are much healthier now which is great
These look absolutely delicious! I like that they are wheat and gluten free.

I think it’s fantastic that these have no refined sugar. I would love to try them.

WOW! I love trying different chocolate flavors with healthy ingredients. Dark chocolate is so healthy and with the ingredients of organic coconut and 90% raw cocoa envelops Goji berries, this is a chocolate that I would love to try!
Chocolate is always good. I’d be willing to try anything chocolate related at least once!!!

These sound delicious and I’m looking for a healthy alternative to the sugar in most chocolate and I’m too much of a chocoholic to give it up …I’m definitely going to check these out.

The macaroons look delicious. I love coconut! As a matter of fact all of this looks and sounds so good because I love chocolate and it would be so nice to eat it without the guilt. Thank you for the amazing review.
Those actually look really good. I’m obsessed with chocolate..literally.. it’s bad! Maybe a little addicted lol. I’d really like to try those because the chocolate I eat everyday (yes everyday) is so sugary and bad for me! It’d be nice to find something better that has the taste that I crave lol! Looks like this is what I need.
The Goji bar sounds absolutely incredible. What a combination of flavors!
Big chocolate fan here! Would love to try this!
I just love coconut!! And chocolate!! Put them together and I am in heaven. I have never heard of this company before, but with a name like that I will never forget them!!
Everything looks delicious and the coconut macaroons sound wonderful.
This chocolate looks awesome. I would not feel guilty or bad at all about eating this; just the opposite. I think it could be healthy for me. I’m definitely gonna pick some up the next time I’m at Whole Foods.
I love that this chocolate is organic and has so few ingredients in it. I love, love dark chocolate and truffles are one of my favorites. Looks really yummy….
Goji berries! I’m intrigued! It’s always wise to try out healthier alternatives to the junk we’re used to.
Lúcuma Caramel – yum! I like that they are non-GMO.
