Delicious Cacao Drink Recipe / High Flavanol Ceremonial Chocolate and its Health Benefits

What is Ceremonial Chocolate or Cacao:
Ceremonial cacao is 99% genetically different from the store's conventional dark chocolate or hot chocolate powder. It is made sustainably by fermenting the beans and stone grinding them with minimal processing. No nutrients are removed, and no chemicals are added.

Ceremonial cacao has the highest sources of antioxidants, and is high in flavanol. It also contains properties that reduce inflammation and relaxes the nervous system. It contains 40 times the amount of antioxidants found in blueberries and more calcium than regular milk... has high levels of magnesium, which of course, helps relax the muscular system.
It also contains iron, and manganese. And with all of these benefits, ceremonial cacao improves cognitive function and enhances creativity.

I have tried several brands over the past few years that I like, but the brand that I keep going back to is Kakao. I love the Chuncho, a wild strain of Kakao that grows in Peru. It is sustainably sourced from farmers with very minimal processing.

Cacao Drink Recipe:
1. I usually add about half a cup of water and half a cup of almond milk. You can use regular milk, oat milk, or boiled water.
2. I add 2-4 tbps of Kakao

Omg this cacao is amazing. I just brought it the taste is unlike anything I’ve ever tried before. Thank you for sharing. For dieters the macros are nothing to sneeze at so something to take into consideration when adding this to your diet.

SOMETIMES I MAKE MINE WITH 1/3 WATER, 1/3 COCONUT WATER & 1/3 CASHEW MILK, LIQUID STEVIA, GINGER, CARDAMOM, & AND A TINY PINCH OF CAYENNE.
OTHER TIMES I MAKE IT W/ FULL COCONUT MILK, MAPLE SYRUP, CINNAMON & CAYENNE. BOTH R YUMMY. 😋

And cacao also helps create stem cells in the body.

I used “ block cacao “ from Philippines. We call it TABLIYA. Pure organic . I don’t add any milk except brown sugar. I drink it before I go to the gym. It gives me energy .

I'm removing shells from the beans right now, I find it really relaxing. Cacao is exceptionally underrated.

Your video is pretty good. I just wanted to let you know collagen becomes useless at over 103 degrees. It is broken down at 98 human body temp. I did it for 2 years before I found out a year ago☮️

[aladrasullivan]

I drink mine with cinnamon and Cheyenne, both are very beneficial for you luv.

[kevindecoteau]

Thank you for this. I have been looking to make my own drinking chocolate for a few weeks that had no sugar, this is it. Thank you.

[williamhenry]

I have never tasted coffee so I am excited to try this. I normally only drink tea ( mostly green tea).

[daisysummer]

I loved eating cacao. I had to spit out the seeds and saved them. We wash and dry the seeds. Then I used to watch my grandma roast and grind them. The pure chocolate formed into a ball to store. Every morning we had chocolate drink.

[mirror-reflection]

Wonderful video and very inspiring to make my own ceremonial cacao. Having quit my 40 year long coffee habit last year, I was looking for a different taste than green tea (although that still has a place in my routine). Thank you for making the video!

[zozo]

Great video . I am just getting into drinking hot chocolate with cacao because i feel like i am more energetic during a day.
