Testimonials For My Chocolate Superfood Desserts Class
Over the past several months, I’ve been teaching a chocolate-making class called Chocolate Superfood Desserts with my man, Christian Bates, that has received props from hundreds of inspired attendees. I’ve been truly blessed with this experience as it’s introduced me to many people whose lives I can now help on a deeper level which is extremely rewarding for me!

HERE’S WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING…
Wow! What a great class last week. I learned a great deal and want to know more. I was surprised and impressed at the depth of knowledge that both Bethanne and Christian have! Thanks again for everything. I felt transformed leaving your class. My energy was back to where it was 25 years ago.

Thank you, Bethanne and Christian!!! The Chocolate Superfood Workshop was a top-notch event, packed with useful information, helpful demonstrations, and of course, delicious chocolate creations. You and Christian are a wealth of information and wisdom, and I especially appreciate your attitude of allowing and kindness. It is evident that you are passionate about bringing health, harmony, and beauty to our lives and to the world, and it appears that you are well on your way to accomplishing just that 
~ Love & Blessings, Jasmine Shanti David
I recently attended Bethanne & Christian’s chocolate-making workshop. I was pleasantly surprised to see how easy the recipes were and Bethanne & Christian generously shared their superfoods knowledge and made it simple enough for me to go home with the confidence to try it myself. Can I just say I am sitting here right now eating some of the best tasting chocolate ever! Not only did I learn how to make this amazingly satisfying chocolate, I learned how to sneak some superfoods into my daily recipes… Thank you Bethanne & Christian for sharing your creations with us!
~ Daina Selph
Yum, the treats were absolutely delicious! I can’t wait to try out these recipes on my own. I plan to give the gift of healthy chocolates to everyone on my list and share them wherever I can. Sharing super healthy foods instead of toxic food with others during the holidays is always my goal. Now I know I can share something everyone will love, chocolate! Thank you Bethanne and Christian for an informative workshop. I love that you shared so much information about the ingredients in your recipes and empowered us to try to personalize and experiment with them.
~ Ramona Beville, Health Coach
Thank you so much!!! I really loved my experience with you two! I’ve been drinking my shake everyday since the talk… I could live on it actually… sooo yummy! I found the class informative and great fun! I loved the nutritional info in the class, packed with great sources and background on the super foods. Everything was yummy and great to know I can now make tasty treats that are actually good for me and my family! Great setting too! Highly recommend this class. Keep up the great work!
~ Fredda Psaltis
I REALLY enjoyed the Chocolate Superfood and Dessert making class by Christian and Bethanne. It was inspirational, educational, and fun! I made the superfood chocolate fudge at home the very next day and it was easy – even my husband and kids loved it. This is definitely something I will bring to wow my friends and family at future gatherings, raw foodies and SAD eaters alike.
~ Cindy Yacob
As a raw vegan who experiments with a variety of foods, it was fun for me to get new and creative ways to use raw chocolate mixed with superfoods. All the samples were delicious! Bethanne and Christian have a wealth of information to share and I highly recommend the Chocolate Making class or any other class or event that they host. Thanks!

Bali Chocolate Energy Shake
Bali Chocolate Energy Shake
For today, we are servin’ up energizing liquid nutrition at its’ best! This one is a creamy chocolate + vanilla pleaser – great for someone who wants to make a healthier version of the standard milkshake and ideal as a replacement for the daily cup of coffee!
Bali Chocolate Energy Shake
Makes 6-7 cups, enough to serve several friends!
1 cup hemp seeds
3.5 cups spring water
1/4+ cup organic coconut sugar crystals (or to taste)
2 T raw cacao powder
1 T softened coconut oil
1 – 1.5 T raw maca powder
1 teaspoon wildcrafted vanilla bean powder
handful of Balinese sweetened cacao nibs (raw)
several pinches sea salt
pinches of organic stevia powder
Blend all ingredients on high until creamy and smooth. Add several ice cubes (made with spring water) and re-blend. Serve chilled and sprinkle with vanilla bean powder and/or Balinese sweetened cacao nibs if you like. It tastes amazing real cold on a warm spring day! With hemp seed mylk, you do not need to strain the seeds out because they blend up so well, which is why everything can be blended up together for a quick super charged shake on the go!
BALINESE SWEETENED CACAO NIBS? Yes, you got that right! If you’ve tried regular ole’ raw cacao nibs and felt they tasted too bitter to chomp on straight or in trail mix or they weren’t as flavorful as you’d hoped for – the Balinese Sweetened Cacao Nibs will deliver just what you’re looking for! WAAAAY better than regular cacao nibs in my opinion (but I like them sweet n’ bitter). And… if you want the sweetness without using coconut sugar for whatever reason, you can make your own homemade sweetened ones with birch xylitol. Mmmm 
BALI SWEETENED NIB INGREDIENTS
- crushed organic cacao beans
- organic coconut palm nectar
- sea salt
* For this shake, I sourced all ingredients (except the vanilla bean powder, salt & stevia) from Earth Circle Organics. This is one of the few companies I trust that sells truly raw products when they market them as raw. It’s important if you are searching out the best products and ingredients ever and expect them to be unprocessed!
Mango Coconut Chocolate Pudding With Local Bee Pollen
Mango Coconut Chocolate Pudding
I’m on a pudding mission. You’ll likely see a series of pudding posts in the near future as I share with you my experiments in the kitchen. I’ll be playing around with different sweeteners and taking the basic raw food pudding recipes to the next Superhero level, as you know I like to do with everything (I call it ‘up-leveling’).
I am in love with ripe mangoes. I feel conflicted that they are shipped from Peru considering most everything else I eat is local, but every once in a while when I can’t stand it anymore, I buy a few and relish in their juicy goodness and the serious satisfaction it brings me.
Fresh coconut water is a staple and I am determined to use coconut meat more often, in both sweet dishes and as the noodles for mock pasta. This to me, is an ideal fat that brings enormous benefits.
Note: This is NOT a dish made with local ingredients. An exception for me but I like to play and have fun with tropical foods, which are some of my favorites.
Mango Coconut Chocolate Pudding
* 2 medium ripe avocados
* 1 ripe mango, using the whole fruit minus the pit
* coconut meat from 1 Thai coconut
* 1/4 cup (or less) spring water or fresh coconut water (use just enough water to keep blades running to blend smoothly, but not too much)
* 3 tablespoons raw cacao powder (use carob for variety and if preferred)
* few pinches sea salt (do not leave this out!)
* sweeteners of choice (I used 1 spoonful raw, local wild blackberry honey + 1 date + 1 teaspoon birch xylitol + several sprinkles of organic stevia extract powder)
* dark chocolate medicine flower extract
Up-level: 1-3 teaspoons Pure Synergy powder or other Superfood powder blend and bee pollen (added after fully blended)
Blend on high in a Vita-Mix and use the tamper/plunger to smoosh the pudding into the blades. Taste test and adjust. I found myself needing to add a teeny bit more sea salt and surprisingly more stevia powder to really bring it to that flavor of packaged pudding cups I had as a kid. A few shakes should do it..
Sprinkle with a local bee pollen to really up-level the nutrient-density! Keep your eye out for an informative post on bee pollen next… it used to be part of my health routine, then sadly in the past year or two found myself having allergic reactions to it (heart palpitations), and now I am working it back in (training my body to adapt at the suggestion of a friend who produces the best organic raw royal jelly on the planet – the Immortality Alchemy brand; do a search on http://bit.ly/NtrlNews for ‘organic royal jelly’ and you’ll see it) and must say it brings a feeling of complete nutrition in every morsel! You could even sprinkle the royal jelly on the pudding…
Sweeteners: I personally have not eaten dates in well over a year, until very recently to see how my body responds to that high level of sugar. I give my body long breaks from certain foods, eat a variety of ways and switch things up pretty often, fine tune what works and what doesn’t for me, and continue to evolve. My preferred sweeteners are raw local honey and stevia, and whenever I eat my partner in love‘s delectable creations, it undoubtedly has birch xylitol and stevia in it (he’s MASTERED the no/low glycemic version of everything).
Handcrafted Raw Chocolates: Goji Love, Cherry Seduction, and Fig Blossom
I’ve been making handcrafted Superfood-loaded and tonic herb-infused raw chocolate fudge for years and sharing freely with everyone I meet. Due to higher demand and requests for gifts especially this time of year, I thought to put this info up on my site to share and offer to you, too. These will be a product on store shelves once I meet an angel (investor) who shares the same ultra-high standards of quality, purity, and integrity as I hold. For now, you can get them by simply emailing me at info@ediblegoddess.com with your name, mailing address where the chocolates are to be sent, and your order (and any questions you may have).
If you prefer your chocolate fudge to be sweetened with clear agave instead of raw local wild blackberry honey, please just specify this in your email to me. Price remains the same.

HERE’S WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING…
“Bethanne’s Chocolate Goldies are the most mouth-watering, joy-inducing, exquisitely potent chocolates on the market. I can tell that each flavor has Bethanne’s years of Superfoods and herbs experience behind its formulation. I suggest getting all of the flavors: guilt-free, truly healthful chocolate for every situation!” ~ Christian Bates, creator of the WildBar
~~~
“These chocolates are magical. Obviously they are delicious, but it’s more than that. Something about them is so deeply soul-satisfying, pure, and energetically positive that it’s hard to adequately describe it in words – you need to experience it. A piece or two and I am so happy (a blessing for emotional eaters like me). I wasn’t a raving chocolate fan until I was blessed to try Bethanne’s love-filled treats! Now I find my day incomplete without them. I even pass over other chocolates as nothing compares to these anymore for me. Treat yourself to out-of-this-world chocolate and you’ll see for yourself.” ~ Ginette King
~~~
“Best chocolate I have ever put in my mouth – pure and perfect!” ~ Mary Barber
~~~
“I have been a DARK Chocolate fan for a few years now. I never thought that I could find a raw and dark chocolate that would make me feel the way that I do with my favorite dark chocolate brands. I was awakened recently to Bethanne’s raw chocolate and was blown away by how I felt. You can feel the love that Bethanne puts into her chocolate. I am so grateful to have been introduced to these. I can’t go back to what I used to eat now that I have experienced this.” ~ Marina James-Galvin
Wild Blueberry Coconut Chocolate Smoothie
Wild Blueberries + Fresh Coconuts + Raw Chocolate
= Deep Satisfaction!
Ingredients
2 fresh young coconuts
2 cups frozen wild organic blueberries
2 spoonfuls raw cacao powder
1 teaspoon Carob Peppermint or Vanilla Spice MacaForce (by HealthForce)
small handful goji berries
1 teaspoon vanilla bean powder
swirls of raw local honey or clear agave
pinch of sea salt
Optional
1/2 teaspoon Lucuma powder (to make it taste even more creamy and smooth like ice cream)
Add the water AND the meat from the 2 of the fresh coconuts, plus the other ingredients (in the suggested amounts, adding more or less to satisfy your taste buds) to the high-speed blender (aka Vita-Mix). Blend on high for 1+ minutes until it’s super smooth. Do a taste and texture test. Add more fresh coconut water if you’d like it more liquid-y and less if you’d like it thicker, and more coconut meat if you’d like it creamier.
You do not need to add ice to this recipe since the frozen berries keep the smoothie chilled.
Drink for breakfast, as a quick yet satisfying lunch, or for a truly healthy dessert that you can feel good about! Nourish your body and soul with Organic Raw Superfoods!

Chocolate Caramel Fudge for Immunity
This recipe needs no introduction. Just make it even if you don’t have all the ingredients (don’t let ANYTHING stop you from starting something new!), and then… devour them. Even if you have just half the ingredients, as long as you have the first FIVE, that’s fine! You can make this any way you want; double up on ingredients you DO have so you reach the total quantity of teaspoons of powders in the recipe.
Chocolate Caramel Fudge
1/3 cup raw cashew butter
1/4 cup softened coconut oil
1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon local, raw, organic honey
1 T raw cacao butter
2 T raw cacao powder
1 tsp each: Chaga, Reishi, Lion’s Mane mushroom powders
1 tsp Vitamineral Green
1 tsp blue green algae (Elixir of the Lake)
1 tsp shilajit powder
1 tsp dark mint MacaForce
1 tsp mucuna powder
1 tsp vitamin E tocotrienols
1 tsp mesquite powder
1 tsp lucuma powder
3/4 tsp vanilla bean powder
1 small handful goji berries
If you don’t eat honey or want to use it, use 1/4 cup clear agave. Do whatever works for you.
Put all ingredients except your sweetener (honey, agave) in a food processor. Process. There may be a bit of oil that separates IF you include the sweetener in this first mixin’ – and if so, it’s okay – no big deal. If you do want to avoid this, just mix all ingredients together and STIR IN the sweetener slowly (in a separate bowl) after everything else has mixed well together in the processor.
Scoop little non-uniform chunks into silicon ice cube trays and freeze until frozen. Eat chilled – you may want to soften for just a couple minutes before eating for the PERFECT texture, ever!
Don’t put them back in the freezer; take out a few so you don’t do the crazy ‘get the fudge out of the freezer!’ dance (taking them out, popping out 1 piece, putting the tray back in in the freezer, craving more, taking them back out and eating another, putting it back in thinking you’re not going to eat anymore… then taking them back out… =)
You can get Vitamineral Green, Elixir of the Lake and MacaForce from HealthForce Nutritionals.
Will Eating Chocolate Ease Nervous System Disorders?
There is great controversy about whether chocolate is truly a health food. You’ve likely heard the word that there are countless raw foodists (+ ancient cultures) who’ve felt the true heart-opening, real metabolism-boosting, serious mood-lifting effects – especially if you’re part of the raw cacao / raw food movement and are into Superfoods. If it weren’t for my personal experience over the past several years or so I may have been a skeptic, at least initially, but instead I owe part of my own healing to raw organic cacao. Let me explain… Read more
Homemade Raw Chocolate Recipe
No matter what time of year, everyone is indulging in chocolates. Making raw chocolates instead of the processed, cooked (all chocolate is cooked unless it says ‘raw’), refined & sugar-laden chocolates, can allow you to feel guilt-free while still sharing your sweetness with loved ones. Remember, eating raw food is not about deprivation; I find the raw lifestyle to actually allow guilt-free indulgence while infusing your cells with life force and nutrition.
Main Ingredients:
1 cup raw cacao powder
1 cup melted raw cacao butter
1/2 cup clear agave
1-2 tbsp raw almond butter (make your own!)
pinch Celtic salt (or mix of highly mineralized salts)
—
Optional Ingredients, yet use them if you have them!
pinch of white stevia extract powder
pinch vitamin E tocotrienols
pinch blue green algae
Blend in a Vita-Mix ideally (it may warm gently which is fine – you want it to be a thinner consistency for easy pouring) or in a food processor (smaller bowl inside the bigger bowl unless you double or triple the recipe). I’ve found the VM to work best. Pour into ice cube trays or cute molds and chill until frozen.
Keep this recipe simple the first few times you make it and experiment with different versions after you’ve gotten a solid recipe that you can default to in the future.
Raw chocolate on it’s own has no sugar, but of course the clear agave brings the sweetness to this recipe. I’m personally not doing much agave recently as a personal experiment, but having a liquid sweetener for this recipe is needed. From my understanding, the raw clear agave is the healthiest agave available in comparison to the others on the market.
