Rogue Fitness Publisher Dives Naked Into Chocolate

What would possess the publisher of a fitness magazine to launch a chocolate company?

“Friends pushed me into it,” said Sue Berliner, owner and publisher of the health and fitness publication SWEAT Magazine. “I have always had a passion for good food, cooking and chocolate. Eating well for optimal health and performance has long been a priority and I am not one to sacrifice taste or flavor.”

“I started playing with a chocolate truffle recipe that had no refined sugar and a few simple ingredients. I began sharing them with other foodies, athletic and health conscious friends and associates. Everyone insisted I start selling them. The rich but not sweet taste drew rave reviews from the get-go. They were dubbed b Naked Chocolates due to their simplicity and absence of processed sugar, dairy, gluten and soy. And frankly, the name is fun.”

The truffles are made with three ingredients: cashews, organic cacao (raw chocolate) and maple syrup. The organic cacao, in its unadulterated and most healthful state, packs a pleasing chocolate oomph. Spices are added to create a palate of flavors. Hand rolling the truffles in cacao nibs, dried coconut or almonds finishes the luscious dark chocolates. Ten flavors are currently offered. Fan favorites include The Naked Truth, Ocean Dive, Slow Burn, Mystic Mint Mayhem, Ginger Spice & Everything Nice with more in development.

While one or two truffles makes the perfect fix for any chocolate lover, b Naked is filling a unique niche needed among vegans and vegetarians.
In addition to providing the marketplace with a rich but healthful chocolate, Berliner, 52, is inspiring and teaching the community to live healthfully with her Chocolate Chats. Available topics include Fabulously Fit at 40, 50 or Any Age, Eating Well, Finding Fitness and more.

You can find Berliner and her artisan b Naked Chocolates at the Old Town Scottsdale Farmer’s Market every Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. The company is also available to supply chocolates for parties, events, weddings and caterers. The chocolates ship well, make great gifts or party favors and can be ordered on line at bnakedchocolates.com.
