What’s inside?
Organic Whole Chia Seeds — Chia seeds have long been used as a convenient source of fuel and energy by various North and South American Indian tribes. The Mayan word for chia is “strength”— and with good reason. They come from a plant called the Salvia hispanica, or Spanish sage, and are incredible energizers. The outer layer of the chia seed is made of soluble fiber, forming a slow burning, sustaining gel that provides a steady release of glucose (sugar) into the bloodstream. It can literally keep you going for hours. The unsaturated fats in chia seeds are healthy fats — Omega-3s and Omega-6s — essential to normal nervous system function, mood regulation, and memory. Omega-3 and -6 fatty acids also increase cell membrane fluidity, which means more nutrients can get to your cells, protecting you from illness.
Organic Low Temperature Coconut
Unlike processed forms of coconut, which are stripped of nutritional value and void of coconut oil, Living Fuel CocoChia Bars include only pure, shredded, organic coconut that has been minimally processed at low temperature (below 98.6 degrees F), so that it retains all of the most valuable nutrients of the coconut. Research indicates that coconut oil promotes a healthy heart, helps maintain normal cholesterol, optimizes thyroid function and even improves the tone and health of your skin. Coconut contains lauric acid, which is made up of healthy fats called medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) that promote optimal immunity and have a neutral effect on cholesterol.
Organic Raw Almond Butter — Almonds are a rich source of Vitamin E (a great antioxidant) and one of the richest non-animal sources of calcium around. Physicians often prescribe almonds to their patients, as they are rich in healthy fats, dietary fiber, and digestible proteins, which can help reduce blood cholesterol and decrease the risk of certain kinds of cancer.
Our organic live nut butters are crafted using a special low heat process that preserves the life-essential fatty acids, proteins, vitamins, and enzymes. The nuts and seeds we use are fresh, not roasted, and made into butter with a low temperature process (always below 115º F).
Certified Organic Agave Syrup — A natural sweetener extracted from the pineapple-shaped core of the trunk of the wild Salmiana Agave plant. It has been a part of American Southwestern and Mexican diets for centuries and is considered the "Mexican Tree of Life and Abundance". Agave Syrup has a low glycemic index, which makes it ideal for diabetics, hypoglycemics, or those who cannot handle sucrose. Our Agave Syrup is Organic and Kosher Certified.
Non GMO Rice Protein — Our rice protein is extracted using a proprietary enzyme process starting from California-grown non-GMO rice. It is processed without the use of acids, bases or other chemicals. The protein content of the extracted product is over 70% which leaves a much higher percentage of carbohydrate in the end product.
Organic Gum Acacia — A certified organic, kosher ingredient that comes from Acacia trees in Africa. Gums Acacia is a natural thickener used extensively in organic, natural foods for thousands of years.
Certified Organic Cocoa — Our cocoa beans are grown by organic farmers and harvested in the Dominican Republic. The farmers nurture the trees, hand pick the cocoa pods and separate out the beans for fermenting. After a carefully controlled fermentation process, the cocoa beans are dried by an advanced design solar heated air system and then processed into cocoa liquor.
Certified Organic Chocolate Liquor — Our organic Chocolate Liquor is produced by finely grinding the roasted cocoa beans to a smooth, liquid state from which they are cooled and formed into blocks. The liquor contains roughly 53% cocoa butter and contains no sweeteners or alcohol.
