Why Raw Cacao Powder over Cocoa Powder?

Organic Raw Cacao powder is unrefined, "cold-ground" to preserve the enzymes and very rich in antioxidants. This powerful superfood contains hundreds of compounds that include protein, fiber, zinc, iron etc.

Cocoa Powder on the other hand is the processed product of Cacao that is refined and looses many of the nutritional benefits once heated.

About Me

Hi, I’m Jenn! 👋 I’m so glad you’re here!

I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed when trying to make healthier choices. For over 20 years, I’ve been on a journey to create a gluten-free and low-tox lifestyle that doesn’t feel restrictive, complicated, or expensive. My mission is to help busy women like you transition to a healthier home and diet—without the stress.

Why I Do This

My journey started when I realized that many of the foods and products I was using every day were impacting my health. I have gluten sensitivity, and several family members also follow a gluten-free diet. But I didn’t want to feel like I was missing out on delicious food or spending hours researching safe products. So, I set out to simplify the process!

As I started reading labels and swapping out processed foods, skincare, and cleaning products for safer, healthier alternatives, I noticed a huge difference in how I felt. It became clear that small, intentional swaps make a big impact—and I want to help you do the same.
