Hiya Beauties!

Ooh, heavenly cacao, irresistibly delicious. Perfect Spiced Cocoa drink for late afternoon pick me up for my healthy, happy body and mind.

CACAO – nourishment of god’s for Spiced cocoa drink

Raw Cacao is considered by the Aztecs to be the nourishment of god’s. Raw cacao is also a super-food high in sulfur, magnesium, iron, copper, phosphorous, calcium, potassium, vitamin A, B, C, D, and E. In addition, it is super rich in antioxidants (the richest source of any food). In addition, raw cacao is an aphrodisiac. Furthermore, cacao contains high levels of tryptophan, the precursor to feel-good hormone serotonin, the happy hormone which affects positively our emotions, as well as dopamine and anandamide which increase feelings of bliss and well-being.

CAROB – sweet and healthy

Carob is an evergreen tree native to the Eastern Mediterranean in the Middle East, where it has been cultivated for 4000 years.  The fruit of the carob is a pod; it has a dark-brown colour, is edible, fat free, rich is pectin, sucrose, protein, vitamin A and B’s and other minerals. The pods are ground into flour that can be a cocoa substitute.

TOCOTRIENOLS healthy, sweet and fluffy

This is pure rice bran and the vital nutrient in rice bran is vitamin E, which is extremely sensitive to heat. With a mild sweetness and a soft texture tocotrienols are a must in raw cuisine for their fluffy light texture. I add them to drinks, smoothies, raw cakes and cookies.
