“This KIKI Health Organic Mushroom Extract Cacao Powder combines selected blends of organic mushrooms extracts, including varieties known for their health-promoting properties such as Wild Chaga (Inonotus Obliquus), Shiitake (Lentinula Edodes) & Auricularia (Wood Ear) (Auricularia Auricula). An impressive list. Wood Ear is a new one on me, it is low in calories and is a good source of fibre, mineral such as iron and antioxidants. It is believed to help benefit circulation and help to support the immune system.I am not a huge fan of the taste of mushroom powders, so the idea of having Cacao among the ingredients sounds interesting. This powder comes in a dark glass bottle with a screw lid and a seal. The powder is organic, naturally gluten and wheat free, all of which are important to me. It contains no mycelium, grains or starch. No artificial colours, preservatives, sweeteners or fillers.... which is the perfect type of manufacture I like. It has a wide range of essential nutrients vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.I have made this into a hot chocolate drink during the evening and it is delicious. It is rich and chocolatey. I used the suggested amount of one heaped teaspoon. I do not like sweet drinks and this is not overly sweet, which is excellent. The powder is fine and mixed easily into the hot milk. I’m sure it would make a lovely cold milkshake type drink also. I have used this brand before and am always very pleased with the quality of their product. It good value and is not more expensive than a coffee or a hot chocolate out. I will not use it every day and make it last longer since there is a good shelf life to the product. I particularly find this drink is lovely to relax and unwind at the end of a busy week or day. Overall... a lovely chocolate drink with health benefits. As always.... great quality.”
“Great quality ingredients and sweetener free, which is a plus for me in a product like this. It tastes good, easy to mix and full of amazing benefits.”
“This blend of raw organic cacao and mushroom extracts uses only the fruiting bodies which is what I’m looking for. Chaga, shiitake and auricular mushrooms. What you taste is the rich chocolatey goodness of the cacao. As well as mixing with milk for a delicious chocolatey drink, I enjoy it sprinkled on fruit and greek yogurt. Yum”
“I sprinkle this into my daily smoothie which I blend in my nutribullet so using a powdered form of mushrooms for me is nice and convenient as I am already making the smoothie. The Cacao goes really well with things like raspberries, cherries and strawberries. If you stick to their recommended 5g serving then this will last you for 21 servings. Not bad value for money and I appreciate the fact that it clearly marked as being suitable for vegetarians and vegans.”
“I must admit I didn't like the taste of this as hot chocolate so I mixed it into a tub of hot chocolate.. After that it's absolutely fantastic.. Hoping to see health and wellbeing benefits soon...Worth a try especially over the colder months when you're immune system could do with a little extra help.”
“This review is for the KIKI Health Organic Mushroom Extract Cacao Powder | Boosts Immunity, Energy, Memory, Focus & Metabolism | Organic Plant Based Superfood Powder Supplement | 105g.I like how this powder combines cacao with mushroom extracts, making it an easy way to enjoy both in one blend. The flavour is rich and chocolatey with an earthy depth from the mushrooms, and while it contains some coconut sugar, it’s not overly sweet. It mixes well into warm drinks and smoothies, and I appreciate that it’s organic. As with other products from this brand, the quality is reliable, and this one allows me to enjoy medicinal mushrooms (without tasting them) and it fits well into my routine.”
“I discovered this brand last year, and already have quite a few of their products, so was very keen to try this organic mushroom cacao powder. Kiki Health is an independent, British-based, ethical company, and this product is organic, with no preservatives, artificial colours, sweeteners or fillers. I also like the packaging - a glass jar with a screw top metal lid, so fully recyclable.I've never been able to drink hot chocolate, not even as a child, as it's far too sweet for me - and often full of additives too. However, I thought this mushroom cacao powder would be great to add to my morning porridge. I ring the changes all the time by adding different seeds and dried fruits - and in recent times, I have also had a row of jars of Kiki Health powders to choose from. I added a teaspoon of this mushroom cacao powder to an apricot and sunflower seed porridge - and it was absolutely delicious. Much as I love mushrooms, and appreciate all the health benefits that this extract provides, I was pleased not to be tasting it in a sweetish breakfast porridge. The overall taste of my porridge was of chocolate, or rather cacao, which I prefer to most chocolate, as it has a lovely rich flavour, without being too sweet. Who knows, I may even be tempted to try making an alternative hot chocolate now!Kiki Health supplements are always rather expensive, and this one particularly so as you only get a small 105g bottle. Also, as another reviewer has pointed out, the bottle is quite hard to get a teaspoon into. However, using it as I do, it will probably last me a good length of time - given that I have quite a selection of Kiki Health supplements to choose from now!”
