Paul S. Mamakos, Founder of Everything Raw™, is such a believer of the healthy benefits of a raw diet that he has exclusively eaten raw foods since 2005. Paul actually began his “raw” journey when he opened up a raw food kitchen in January 2007 in Charlottesville, Virginia, home to the University of Virginia.

He offered his ever-increasing line of patrons a variety of raw energy bars, raw pizzas and even raw gourmet meals. Paul’s customers were stating to him what he had discovered himself after switching exclusively to a raw diet — eating food in its natural raw state helps to promote balanced energy throughout the day. So, with the success of the energy bars in his community, Paul decided to launch a variety of energy bars so that people all around the country could begin to enjoy the benefits of raw superfood bars.

Everything Raw is available in the following flavors - Raw Decadence®, which contains dark cacao chocolate, dates, pistachios, pecans, cashews, cinnamon, coconut oil, and vanilla bean and Yoga BarTM, a royal white chocolate that contains cacao butter, dates, pistachios, cashews and honey. Both bars are 100% gluten free, Fair Trade, source verified and CCOF Certified Organic.

Raw food is basically food that is alive with “enzymes,” meaning that food which is prepared at temperatures below 118 degrees Fahrenheit.  These enzymes will actually help to detoxify your body. As a person begins to switch to a raw diet, a cellular detoxification begins, which typically last around two weeks. During this time of detox, people have stated they have more energy and feel that the mind is much more alert though the transition from cooked foods to raw does have moments of feeling worse as your body is ridding itself of these toxins.  Once the detox period passes most people claim they feel better than ever before, almost a state of euphoria.

"I have exclusively eaten 100% raw foods since December 2005. I’ve noticed increased strength, more flexibility, walking lighter on my feet, and the ability to focus more clearly for extended lengths of time,” states Paul Mamakos, Founder of Everything Raw. “We are so excited to share our beliefs in the healthy benefits of raw foods with the launch of our energy bars to the consumer market. We feel confident with the healthy trends and the research that consumers are doing in regards to their diets, Everything Raw is going to be a hit,” he adds.
