You think that chocolate spoils your shape? Well, Aksana Samy would invite you to reconsider.
Strutting the body-perfect fixation of the fashion world, Aksana leads a delicious business – Raway, her vegan gourmet chocolate brand.
“It all began with my devoted love for chocolates as a child, which became tricky when I started modeling and had to make sure I stay healthy and keep my body in good shape,” says Aksana.
Today, Aksana is confident Raway offers the best quality raw vegan chocolate bars that she describes as a wholesome nourishment rather than a guilty pleasure. A chef, herself, Aksana knows how to marry healthy and delectable. She carefully picks up the ingredients, shunning artificial flavors, refined sugar, gluten, dairy, soy and agave. She partakes in the heat-free production, from tempering to packaging, of four kinds of Raway bars that are 100 percent organic and “satisfy your taste even from the smallest bite.”
Each variety – based on 70 percent pure dark chocolate and praline – supplies a nourishing boost of antioxidants, fibers and enzymes. The Dark Chocolate Pistachio Praline carries vitamin B6, beta-carotene and potassium, while the Dark Chocolate Jungle Peanut Praline, made of aflatoxin-free Wild Jungle Peanuts, provides essential vitamins that fight viruses and promote longevity. The Dark Chocolate Chili Praline is rich in compounds like calcium, zinc and iron that stimulate the metabolism and subdue inflammation.
While all these bars stand out on the market, it is the “Milk” Chocolate Almond & Currants Bar that is truly unique. Its one-of-a-kind formula ensures an authentic milk taste without any dairy. Its creamy texture of traditional milk chocolate stems from pure vegan coconut milk powder and raw organic cashews. This unbelievable creation would evoke your childhood with a taste you have to try to believe. What is even better - it comes with a concoction of copper, iron, potassium and manganese as well as vitamins A and C.
“It has been a long road [of] creating the perfect recipe but you will realize from your real first bite that it was all worth it,” says Aksana, for whom Raway is much more than a profitable venture. It embodies her “passion for delivering the best chocolate possible to people who love being happy and healthy.”
