Tulsi, Ashwaganda, and other traditional Ayurvedic herbs also play their special roles and contribute to the Alchemy of Mandala’s Chocolate. Particularly in Cacao Alchemy and Wild Appalachian Chai, Mandala’s two Ketogenic Paleo chocolate bars. These bars are some of the only low-carb, naturally sweetened chocolate bars on the market. They employ sweet tasting traditional herbs like Licorice and Cinnamon and low glycemic index and even high protein foods like Yacon, Maca, and Mesquite to create a rich, complex and subtly sweet dark chocolate flavor.
