Notes about Cacao – know best for making delicious chocolate, cacao is a powerhouse of healing nutrition. Used in this purer form we can really get the full benefits of it, including but not limited to –
High magnesium content – hormone regulation, helps turn glucose into energy,
Flavonoids – improving blood flow, increased insulin sensitivity, reduced inflammation
Potassium – lowers inflammation, lowers cell stress
Antioxidants – absorbs free radicals that cause cell and tissue damage that lead to cancers
Calcium – bone health
Serotonin, tryptophan, tyrosine, phenylethylamine – happy chemicals!! Natural antidepressants
WARNING: cacao contains caffeine, so this is not a bedtime drink, it’s a comforting pick me up!
Notes about Macca – I always say this stuff tastes like cake batter, it smells and tastes so ridiculously yummy, I can’t get enough of it! It’s also helps that it has an awesome nutrient profile too! There has been very little research into maca as a medicinal ingredient, but the evidence that does exist suggests maca helps to balance hormones, helping with libido, mood stability and menopause symptoms.
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1tsp Macca powder
1tsp peanut butter (powdered pb for lower fat)
1/4 cup Almond milk
1tbsp maple syrup or agave syrup
3/4cup water
In a small saucepan whisk all the ingredients together over a low heat.
Continually whisking slowly heat up the drink until it’s your perfect temperature (don’t let it come to the boil, this can make it bitter)
