[CACAO] An no, not COCOA . This was a life saver when I finally ditch my coffee addiction. Cacao,the raw form of chocolate,is in fact a highly potent superfood. In its raw form, Cacao contains a super concentration of magnesium and amongst micro-nutrients, magnesium is perhaps one of the most critical and often deficient micro nutrients. Furthermore, its among the most powerful antioxidants foods available to you. • Rich in Magnesium, Iron, Manganese, Zinc and Copper • Rich in Vitamin C and PEA ( a compound proven to help balance mood and alertness) • Rich in the essential amino acid Trytophan, which naturally helps boosts serotonin levels and improve mental clarity How to use: With cacao there are several different ways you can work it into your diet. The powder is easily added to smoothies or recipes and has a mild chocolate flavour,the nibs (broken up beans) make a great snack in themselves, but can also add texture to any smoothie and finally the whole beans make a great addition to any trail mix or as a nutrient dense snack in themselves. Consume 1-2 tablespoons of the powder, 1 handful of nibs or 7- 10 beans per day. Look for Ecuadorian varieties. *As cacao has stimulating properties, it is recommended that anyone with caffeine, substance or adrenal issues limit their intake.
