Good Superfoods is a small company based in Boise, Idaho that produces healthy chocolate… And I mean REALLY healthy chocolate. They call it “Functional Nutrition,” which is, essentially, when food and supplements collide. In this case, it’s where CHOCOLATE and supplements collide. Could anything be better?
I was lucky enough to tour their factory (and enjoy a generous sample pack) when I visited my parents in Boise, Idaho a few weeks ago.
Good Superfoods is a small operation employing approximately 25 people, although they’ve grown exponentially over the last 6 years they’ve been in business. The owner/founder started making chocolate in his kitchen, then moved up to a tiny location in downtown Boise, and about 3 years ago, they moved into their current location which is a bonafide chocolate factory! It includes a processing area (where they make their products) and an “Innovation Lab” where they dream up new products and flavors. I want to work there!
A real-life chocolate factory! The manufacturing area…
The “Innovation Lab” where new flavors and products are dreamed up… #heaven
I’ve seen organic chocolate, I’ve seen fair-trade chocolate, and I’ve seen chocolate with unique and exotic flavors… But I’ve never seen chocolate like this.
Good Superfoods uses ingredients that are USDA certified organic, fair-trade, non-GMO, GRAS approved, plant-based, and gluten-free. Their nutrition bars and chocolates are fortified with whole-foods based vitamins and minerals, live cultures, active enzymes, and antioxidants. They contain pre-biotics and probiotics, as well as superfood supplements such as lycopene and omegas.
When formulating their creations, Good Superfoods specifically chooses flavors that work well with the supplements they add; for example, the omegas (which are sourced from algae) are combined with coconut since coconut has a fairly strong flavor that melds well with (and covers up!) the flavor of the algae extract.
Here’s an example of the ingredients that are in their DELICIOUS Amazon Berry Superfruits chocolate bar:
All-Natural Dark Chocolate (South American Cacao Paste | All-Natural Cane Sugar | South American Cacao Butter) | *NutriHEART® – A Proprietary Tomato Concentrate | All-Natural Blueberry Crisps (Blueberry Juice, Blueberry Puree) | All-Natural Raspberry Crisps (Raspberry Juice, Raspberry Puree) | *NutriBERI™- A Proprietary Blend of Amazon Superfruits (Pomegranate, Maqui, Raspberry, Blueberry) | Organic, Virgin Coconut Oil | All-Natural, Raw, Ground Vanilla Beans | Organic, South American Cacao Powder | Organic, Raw, Peruvian Lucuma | *CocoaNOURISH®, A Proprietary Blend of Powerful Antioxidants | *Probiotic Bacillus coagulans GBI-30 6086 | *NSK-SD® NattoKinase | Organic Raspberry Flavor | Organic Pomegranate Oil | Organic, Raw, Madagascar Cinnamon | Wild Crafted Brazilian Cupuacu | 170 Million-Year-Old Jurassic Sea Salt | *PalmNOURISH™, A Proprietary Blend of Antioxidant Oils & Tocotreinols
I love seeing small companies that are succeeding at their PASSION! And when their passion is healthy chocolate, it’s even better.
If you ever see Good Superfoods at your local grocery store or co-op (or even when you’re shopping on Vitacost.com), pick up a bar… You won’t be sorry! They are locally made in Boise, Idaho and packed with love by real people (not robots). I’ve seen ’em in action!
