Rhiannon DeLoretto Kamper (via Facebook), won the full set of Max Tuck's lecture MP3s. Rhiannon said "I have to go with milk/dairy as well. Since we were old enough to say the word, we are told that milk "does a body good" and "makes our bones big and strong". While there is truth to the fact that milk contains a lot of calcium, our bodies are unable to absorb calcium in conjunction with high protein(which milk also contains). Not to mention that the high amounts of calcium in the milk is used to neutralize the acidic reaction our bodies have when milk is consumed. Milk will actually deplete our bones of calcium, cause mucus in our bodies and acidify us. Dairy, especially here in America where it has to be pasturized, is poison to our bodies and has no health benefits whatsoever."



We have taken magnificent organic white mulberries, dipped them in our deliciously dark raw chocolate, and finished them with a generous dusting of cacao powder. This sweet synergy of rich, raw chocolate and sweet mulberries will tickle your senses and have you saying “YES!” to life, love and chocolate!

Ever since we discovered the amazing health benefits of raw chocolate in 2006, we’ve been spreading the love and creating delicious, highly nutritious raw chocolate for all our friends and customers to enjoy.

We have been committed to eco-sustainability from the start, choosing ethically sourced ingredients and powering our production process with renewable energy.

It’s been quite a journey, and along the way we’ve discovered a whole world of plant based supreme foods that are deeply nourishing and health enhancing. We are excited about the extraordinary potential of these foods to bring greater health, energy, joy and vitality into the lives of people from all walks of life!

You probably know that chocolate can be full of amazing anti-oxidants, nutrients and minerals. Conventional production methods destroy most of these so we have set out to retain as many as possible through our unique low temperature production method. This preserves as many of the nutrients as possible, which we have enhanced even further by adding some really super, supreme ingredients! All our products are sourced from small farming operations. Where available we use Organic and Fair Trade.

We have a gorgeous selection of raw chocolate coated berries to choose from – White Mulberries, Goji Berries and Raisins. Look out for more coming soon! We also have a range of six raw chocolate bars in two sizes - delicious and exceedingly nutritious. We pour as much love into each bar as possible. They are all lovingly hand made just outside Brighton in small batches.

Elaina Luna Griffin (via Facebook & email), who said "What Lush Escapes and my ideal retreat have in common is, well, pretty much everything! I absolutely love the idea of a getaway with a calm, relaxing, and fun environment where being healthy is encouraged (not always a common experience for me here in the US). I also LOVE learning about nutrition, and even though I haven't gone quite all raw yet, I am so intrigued and inspired by raw recipes. A vacation where I get to learn how to make raw recipes AND improve my yoga skills? I'm in love!"
