One Ingredient January
Clean Eating Starts With Knowing What's in Your Food
January resets don't have to mean deprivation. Clean eating doesn't mean boring eating. And yes, chocolate absolutely has a place in your wellness journey.
This is about intention, not restriction. It's about knowing exactly what you're putting into your body and choosing ingredients you can actually pronounce. Our Absolute Black is cacao in its most honest form: one ingredient, 100% cocoa. No added sugar. No dairy. No additives. No compromise.
What Is 100% Cocoa, Really?
Walk down any supermarket aisle, and you'll find energy bars with ingredient lists that read like chemistry experiments. Pre-workout gels are packed with added sugars. Snacks with ingredients you need a degree to pronounce.
Absolute Black is the opposite. It's 100% cocoa. That's it. One ingredient. Nothing added. Nothing taken away. Just pure cocoa, exactly as it should be.
When the ingredient list is this short, there's nowhere to hide. You know exactly what you're eating. No guessing. No questioning. No wondering what "natural flavours" actually means.
Ingredients You Can Pronounce
Cocoa. That's the entire ingredient list. No scientific names. No E-numbers. No wondering what's actually in your food. Just honest cacao in its purest form.
No Hidden Sugars
Zero added sugar means zero added sugar. Not "naturally sweetened." Not "lightly sweetened." Not sweetened at all. You control exactly how sweet your food is, or you enjoy the pure, unadulterated taste of real cocoa.
Nothing Artificial
No artificial sweeteners. No synthetic additives. No stabilisers, emulsifiers, or preservatives. What you see on the label is what you get: 100% cocoa.

How to Use Absolute Black in Your Routine
Pure 100% cocoa is versatile enough to fit into your day exactly how you need it. The bitter intensity might surprise you at first, but that's the taste of real cocoa without the mask of sugar.
Gym Bag Essentials
Toss it in your gym bag. Break off a square when you need fuel that's actually just food, not a science experiment.
Morning Ritual
Crumble into your porridge, smoothie bowl, or yoghurt. Add richness and depth while keeping your breakfast clean and simple.
Desk Drawer Staple
Stash it in your desk for the 3 pm slump. Real cocoa instead of vending machine snacks with ingredient lists you can't decipher.
Mindful Moment
Savour a square slowly, letting it melt. When your food is this pure, you can actually taste what real cocoa is meant to be.
A Note on Bitterness
Yes, 100% cocoa is bitter. That's what real cocoa tastes like without sugar to mask it. But bitterness isn't bad. It's authentic. It's honest. It's the taste of food that hasn't been processed into submission.
Give yourself a week. Your palate will adjust. You'll start to appreciate the complex, earthy notes. You'll notice the subtle undertones. And you might find that overly sweet chocolate starts to taste artificial by comparison.
If you prefer a touch of sweetness, pair it with naturally sweet foods like bananas, dates, or a drizzle of honey. You control exactly how sweet, and you know exactly what's going in.
This Isn't About Restriction
January wellness culture often feels like punishment. Cut this out. Avoid that. Deprive yourself until February, when you can "be normal" again.
That's not what this is about.
Choosing Absolute Black isn't about restriction. It's about intention. It's about deciding that your body deserves real ingredients. That you want to know exactly what you're consuming. That clean eating doesn't mean eating things that taste like cardboard.
It's about recognising that the simplest choice can also be the most honest one. That sometimes the best ingredient list is the shortest one. That chocolate, in its purest form, doesn't need anything added to be exactly what it should be.
One Ingredient. Zero Compromise.
This is the energy we're bringing into 2026. Ingredients you can pronounce. Food that doesn't need a lab coat to understand. Absolute Black in its most honest form.
