The HEALTHIEST Chocolate To Buy At the Grocery Store - Sugar Free, Paleo, & More!

life City family what is up it is art and Bobby back at the grocery store for a video all about chocolate yes all about chocolate from cocoa powder chocolate chips chocolate snacks chocolate bars chocolate nut butters all that good stuff I want to guide you to find the best quality chocolate at the grocery store so you know exactly what goes into your body before we get into the chocolate and goodness you know the drill like subscribe share but more importantly there's a bell icon right below the video you're gonna want to enable all notifications because the month of January we pretty much have videos going live every single day and you want to get a push notification cuz we're having a great time alright let's start with something kind of basic here here's chocolate chips and cocoa powder do you guys know the difference between cocoa oay and cacao a oh I don't know if people really notice this but this is the traditional cocoa here and it's Oh a and that's cacao AO this stuff is the stuff I use and this is raw unprocessed cocoa this is processed cocoa that's been through some treatment so it's really interesting right and this also this cocoa here has been alkalized right it has some alkalinity to it to lower the acid to it this is completely raw the cool thing about chocolate in general is that it's a fermenting process have you ever seen a rock to cow pod this is big crazy football looking thing but they dry out the beans and they actually ferment them then they turn it into chocolate but I prefer to use the raw cacao because I want that raw benefit without it going through processing but I just want you to see the difference between the one where spelled a o and O a you can get this stuff anywhere sometimes Costco has a monster bag of this brand knobby toss raw cacao it's the best deal ever and I believe it's only a seasonal item and this is actually cacao nibs so when you actually take the cocoa bean and pulverize it this is what you get then you grind these into a chocolate liqueur which is like almost like a liquidy paste then you would add sugar or milk to it but these are really good to make with or just have a snack they're very bitter but very delicious so knowing that will come down to chocolate chips right here it's a really exciting time to buy chocolate chips because the world is sugar free chocolate chips in my pen is next level and when we pick up a normal chocolate chip like this there's nothing wrong with it right these are dark chocolate chips the problem is they're always made with cane sugar and that's the kind of sugar we try to avoid we know cane sugar is not good for us but it also is really bad if you're in gut bacteria we talked about this in the sweetener video cane sugar is the worst sweetener of all if this was sweetened with maple syrup even McGough a nectar would be better something else besides cane sugar I'd be ok with it but I wouldn't be as good as I can be because come down here these sugar free chocolate chips from Lily's our next level delicious you guys so we look at the ingredients and you see they're sweetening it with non-gmo erythritol they use real vanilla and they use stevia extract and the cool thing about this is that it tastes just like the real deal the only one I would maybe avoid is the milk chocolate one because something I find in many other sugar-free chocolate chips they add natural flavors but men if you follow me on the Flav's to the instagram I've been using the dark chocolate sugar free trips to make my keto pancakes on the weekend they're so good you your boo your kids they won't know the difference and it's so much better for you if you're not following me on the flavor City Instagram head over there daily post but daily stories I would make from dinner and it's really really fun so that's super duper exciting to me so I would look for those chocolate chips they're a little more expensive they're $6.99 but without having the sugar that's really important to me now it's winter time we have hot Coco's here the thing with all hot cocoa is just like with the chips they're gonna have sugar so we look at this this is a premium brand here I just knows premium because I'm paying for the glass right but I look at the ingredients first ingredient is cane sugar and they're also sneaking in some natural flavor here so that kind of bugs me but its standard process right you're always gonna see every kind of a hot chocolate like that so I'm actually working on a recipe I'm not done yet for a sugar-free keto hot chocolate that is dairy free and it's unsweetened raw cacao organic coconut sugar a monk fruit sweetener and some cinnamon I'm almost there follow me on Instagram when I'm done I'll post it it's fantastic so these are like the chocolate 101 basics you really want to know let's go down here real quick because I'm gonna go to a part of the video I think you're gonna get really excited about chocolate bars and chocolate snacks let's start here these to me are super exciting because there's schools safe there's Sun buttercups they got rid of peanut butter but sunflower seed and in case your kid or your school has a no nut policy these are really cool the thing is right we look at the ingredients here and we see it's made with dark chocolate so I'm really excited it's not milk chocolate which I consider candy they do use some powdered sugar which I'm kind of bummed out about but how much of the sugar is 12 grams for two servings so to 6 grams per that's just over a teaspoon not terrible the thing is you're very limited when it comes to like nut free treats so this isn't that bad but what excites me even more is sugar free chocolates are taking over the grocery store starting with this you guys these are unbelievable these are from evolved there are butter cups these are the ones that have pretty clean ingredients look at this instead of cane sugar all of a sudden we have coconut sugar Himalayan pink salt not a refined bleached salt but this is cool but if your Kido look at these these are called keto cups and this flavour right here via I'm the first one to break into this how exciting this hazelnut butter art and I had this the other day art how good was this so good look at the ingredients like this did not exist just a couple years ago the drill some artichoke is for fiber cacao butter monk fruit sweetener MCTS this stuff is amazing so you can get them at the store you can get them online very exciting they also make them in these packages which is fantastic also on a reach-in to my cart this is not in stores this is online only but I've been doing some Instagram promotion with this company this is nirvana they're the only company that makes keto sugar-free chocolate truffles each truffle has one net carb here and it's sweetened with a low lows and erythritol and stevia next level ingredients and there's nootropics in there too I'll put a link down below this stuff is fantastic the peanut butter truffles are next level that's online only and then Lily's also has sugar-free dark chocolate just be careful because sometimes when you get to the flavored varieties here like this is salted caramel milk chocolate they sneak in natural flavors and the sure enough there it is right there so you got to be careful and then don't be fooled by brand images on the front cover a lot of people like to think this is a premium company because they make the premium peanut butter the thing is just like their peanut butter they use palm oil so let's see where the ingredients are here the peanut butter they have cane sugar here and let's see right there thank you art palm oil so they use palm oil with their peanut butter so I wouldn't get that I would just get the either the coconut sugar and the keto cups and then there's a documentary on Netflix called a rotten never whole episode about chocolate most of the chocolate from the world comes from Africa or South America but to countries in Africa I think it was Ivory Coast and whatever is right next to it they use a lot of slave labor in the chocolate industry and these guys are slave labor free chocolate just watch the documentary it's crazy but when you buy chocolate you really want to my dark chocolate because I consider milk chocolate to be pretty much candy alright that's it for here let's wrap up the video with chocolate flavored peanut butter spreader like Nutella and chocolate cookies all right for all of my Nutella fans out there the bad news is Nutella is not something I would eat it's made with palm oil and tons of refined sugar and there's really no chocolate nut spreads on the market except the one that is Bobby approved we come down here and this company is next level it's nuts oh and they make a chocolate powerful fuel first of all look at the nuts they're using here in the seeds to chia flaxseed hazelnut and what I love about it if we look at the chocolate see they're using coconut sugar and then the rest of the ingredients are clean and they're using Celtic sea salt one of my favorite unrefined salts this is as close as you can get to hazelnut spread or Nutella there's another one here that looks fancy right it's called no cheer laughs yeah and you're like oh it's organic I'm gonna get it guys Organic doesn't necessarily mean anything look at the ingredients first ingredients cane sugar then we have sunflower oil while sunflower oil is better than palm oil it's still highly processed and highly refined not something I would want I would look for that uh nuts oh I wish they had the big version at Costco like they do for the power fuel that'd be amazing and then all right let's switch around here the wall of chocolate chip cookies is almost impossible because either they use bad oil too many refined sugars there's really only one I can see here and it's this brand so this brand is very high-quality it's from out of Chicago these are chocolate chip cookies and what I love about it is that it's made with a nut and seed blend and they're using coconut sugar so it's paleo and coconut oil so look at the rest of the ingredients all fantastic and the thing is here's my problem you have to read the label cause the double chocolate crunch cookie instead of using coconut oil they're now using palm shortening asterisks responsibly sustainably sourced don't be fooled by that you guys organic palm sugar is like having organic canola oil it's still highly processed in however you're fine so it's honestly one of the only cookie ii find here is this chocolate one that uses good quality ingredients no wheat no grains and a good fat and a good sugar so that's it you guys I make a video about chocolate because there's a lot of options but eating healthy doesn't mean eliminating chocolate it's about eating the right chocolate and the options now our next level this stuff did not exist sometimes five years ago or back in my childhood forget about it it was Hershey's bars and that's it all right what video to make next leave a comment down below these videos are all about you guys like subscribe share the only way our channel keeps growing the way it has is all because of you we got two more of those videos going below us right now but art and I will see you very soon until then we say to you like we always do
