I love this vanilla powder! It makes all of my recipes taste delicious and I have peace of mind knowing there’s no added alcohol or other additives. Grateful for this company.
Been taking this product for a few months already and I absolutely love it, wanted to switch over to something more natural and no additives from big name companies and found this gem. Highly recommend! Love this blend
I have tried many different whey protein powders over the years and none compare to this one offered by Wild Foods. I have been a customer now for over five years.
You may find cheaper whey powders, but that is because they are mass produced and are not as natural as Wild Foods' products. The closest one I have found to this is a GNC product which is comparably priced, but still not produced by grass fed cattle.
Considering, taste, price, and production methods no other product I have found can compare to Wild Foods Whey Powder.
Love this powder, ordered several times and planning to keep using this product. It's helps with condition of my nails and joins the most. Thank you so much!!
This is the best matcha I have found, I love the taste and it’s not bitter. I look forward to my matcha latte everyday and I was so happy to find it sold by the case FINALLY so I don’t run out!!!
Got the elderberry version instead of the normal version. Not a huge difference in my eyes and still throwing it in my protein shakes! Great stuff as always from Wild :)
The super greens powder mix really helps my gut health. I mix it up with 8 ounces and take my daily vitamins with it and the taste is very pleasant. So glad I found this product!
I was skeptical if ordering the liquid version of the fish oil but it's been a pleasant surprise! The taste is mild and it goes down easy. Would order again.
I take this cause I'm an athlete and a singer/dancer and love feeling confident in my lung capacity so I take this stuff. I also had covid 2.5 years ago and I'm still working on keeping my lungs healthy.
Most people think hot chocoate or hot cocoa is supposed to be sweet. But that's not how the ancient Mayans used to drink it, and they invented the drink!
It was a savory, even bitter, beverage made from grinding up cocoa beans into a fine paste and then steeping in hot water.
Fortunately for us, we can add a dash of sweetener!
This recipe is nearly identical to our Wild Butter Brew Coffee recipe, but by using milk or water instead of coffee as the base (butter being optional), you end up with the drink recipe below.
A thing we often encourage here at Wild Foods is experimenting in the kitchen.
That means to look at a recipe as a "template" and not a "recipe."
We want you to look at a recipe, like the one below, and follow it as a rough guideline, making tweaks here and there and tasting and refining your final concoction.
Because you are a unique little snowflake (and I mean that with all sincerity), you have a different palate and preference for the foods you eat and drink.
You might like your drinks sweeter or not sweet at all. You might prefer iced over hot drinks (like I do). And so on.
The recipe below is our Wild Recipe Template take on traditional hot Cocoa/Drinking Chocolate
Step 1: Bring 10 Ounces Water To Near Boil In Small Pot
But, if you are like us, you also watch your sugar and processed food intake.
And unfortunately for us both, chocolate is one of the most processed foods in the world.
Some of this processing is fine and is necessary because it makes raw cacao safe for us to consume. Of course, there are better and worse ways to process chocolate.
Beyond the cocoa in a chocolate bar, there are usually other ingredients added in to make a final chocolate product—sugar, soy lecithin, nuts, berries, seeds, fruit, spices, etc.—all of which vary in their quality and processing.
Where does the cocoa in that wrapper come from? Do you know? You should.
The fact is, the mass-produced chocolate on the market today is nearly always made from sick, mass-farmed cocoa trees and their cocoa pods.
The best cocoa grows in natural forest canopy, often at higher elevations. Cocoa is a fickle plant, similar to the coffee plant, and is not meant to be planted in a large mono-crop setup.
Furthermore, mass-produced cocoa, because the goal is usually speed and quantity, undergoes all kinds of chemical and mechanical processing methods as a means to produce the cocoa cheaper, in larger quantities and to cover up the bad flavors that come from sick, overly abused cocoa trees.
Simply put, most chocolate in a wrapper is bad for you.
(Opt for organic, fair trade, single-origin and small-batch dark chocolate bars when you do buy it in the store. There are many good brands out there.)
What if you could enjoy chocolate guilt-free?
What if you didn’t have to worry about the quality of the chocolate and whether the company added extra ingredients or used harsh processing techniques to make that chocolate?
The beautiful thing about homemade chocolate is you control exactly what goes into the final product. As long as you are buying premium (Wild) ingredients that are grown and processed the right way and limiting the amount of sweetener (and what kind) you use, you can indulge your chocolate craving guilt-free.
Let’s get to the recipes…
Below are three recipes for making homemade chocolate. You can adjust sweetener to your preferred taste.
Something to remember about homemade chocolate is it takes some practice to get just right. So be patient, taste as you go, and adjust as necessary.
Now get in the kitchen and embrace your inner chocolatier!
