The Awki Cacao Journal

Crafted by Awki in the heart of Ecuador using heirloom Arriba Nacional cacao, the Serenity bar is a conscious indulgence designed to restore balance, calm the nervous system, and activate your senses. Why Serenity? Awarded First Place in Innovation at the Craft Chocolate Challenge, Serenity is part of Awki’s acclaimed Harmony Bar Collection. Every detail—from ingredient selection to presentation—has been carefully curated to create an immersive experience rooted in ancestral wisdom and regenerative practices. Two Sides. One Purpose. Serenity is a 50g bar thoughtfully divided into two distinct flavor profiles: Side One 75% Dark Chocolate (Arriba Nacional cacao) Cacao nibs Freeze-dried mango and pineapple Lemon verbena Apple & lemon verbena decoration Side Two 75% Dark Chocolate (Arriba Nacional cacao) Cacao nibs Freeze-dried soursop Chamomile Himalayan pink salt decoration These ingredients are not only chosen for their flavor, but for their functional properties. Lemon verbena and chamomile help reduce anxiety, while tropical fruits add vibrancy and antioxidants. What Is Cognitive Chocolate? At Awki, we believe food can awaken the mind. That’s why we created the concept of Cognitive Chocolate—a multisensory experience that stimulates neural activity through texture, flavor, aroma, and intention.

Superfood status confirmed: Why cacao belongs in every wellness routine Not all superfoods come from exotic berries or rare roots. Some have been part of ancestral cultures for centuries—and cacao is a perfect example. Today, backed by both ancient wisdom and modern science, cacao is earning its rightful place as a staple in wellness routines around the world. At AWKI, we’ve always known that chocolate is more than just a treat. When made properly—without sugar, dairy, or additives—dark chocolate becomes a nutrient-dense, plant-based powerhouse that supports both mental and physical health.

The heart of chocolate: How cacao supports cardiovascular health Dark chocolate is often thought of as a guilty pleasure, but when made from pure, high-quality cacao, it becomes something else entirely—a functional superfood that supports heart health on multiple levels.

Why choosing ethical chocolate brands matters more than ever Every time you make a purchase, you're casting a vote for the kind of world you want to live in. In a time of climate crisis, disappearing biodiversity, and growing inequality, that truth has never been more important. Even a chocolate bar can support regeneration—or reinforce destruction. At AWKI, we believe chocolate should reflect your values. It should heal the Earth, empower people, and deliver nourishment—not exploitation.

How chocolate can help you sleep better: The surprising role of magnesium in cacao Chocolate isn't usually associated with sleep. Most people think of it as dessert, indulgence, or energy. But when made with high-quality organic cacao, chocolate can actually support a restful night’s sleep. At AWKI, our chocolate begins in the Ecuadorian rainforest—where heirloom cacao grows naturally rich in magnesium, a mineral your body needs to relax, restore, and rest.

When María was a child in the Ecuadorian rainforest, her grandmother would place a piece of homemade dark chocolate in her hand whenever she had a headache or felt tired. “Cacao es medicina,” her abuela would say—offering not just relief, but a ritual.Today, that same cacao, grown in the same soil, reaches families across California in the form of AWKI’s organic chocolate bars. But this is more than flavor—it’s ancestral wisdom backed by science.

“I just needed one bite”: How chocolate became a moment of calm in a chaotic world It was 4:37 p.m. on a Wednesday when Sarah, a nurse from Los Angeles, stepped into the break room—palms sweating, breath shallow, mind overwhelmed. She didn’t want coffee. She didn’t want her phone. She reached for one square of her AWKI Purity Bar. It wasn’t just a craving. It was a moment of grounding. A pause.With that first bite, her body softened. Her breath slowed. Her brain began to recalibrate. Because sometimes, chocolate isn’t a treat—it’s a tool.

But not anymore. At AWKI, we’ve redefined what chocolate can be, especially for those who need or choose to avoid sugar.
