Love Thy Raw Chocolate

From the earth grew a seed, a superfood plant that gave mankind the key to strength, longevity, vitality and wholesomeness. This ancient and powerful plant proved sacred to our ancestors, who named it the cacao plant.

The list of health benefits of the raw cacao is immense. It is an anti-inflammatory, immunity-booster and may help reduce the risk of cancer due to its high content of antioxidants, amino acids, vitamins, omega-6 and minerals.

This nutrient-dense food contains therapeutic mineral supplements such as  zinc, manganese, phosphorous, iron, and magnesium!  A daily dose of magnesium from raw chocolate promotes improvement of bone health, blood circulation, cardiovascular and nerve functions. It helps produce neurotransmitters in the brain that connects you to feeling passionate about life. What’s not to love?

Here's a sublime recipe that will awaken the senses and at the same time provide a cup of heart warming tranquility. This mild energy-boosting concoction is best to drink in the morning or early afternoon.  Raw cacao powder can be used instead of nibs if a high powered blender (Vitamix) is not available.

Blend. Drink. Recline if you must. Love thy chocolate!
