IT IS YUMMY and so healthy.

You can also make maca bars that Brendan Brazier put out as a recipe for Mother’s day.  Those are one of my favorite treats!  Raw cacao, maca, maple syrup, macadamia nuts, coconut….yummmmm.  They make a delicious (and good for you!) treat.

You can make protein bars with raw cacao and hemp protein and a few other wonderful ingredients including coconut oil.

There are so many raw goodies you can make with cacao that are really healthy.  The one feeling I think I can say that I consistently get when eating chocolate is “decadence”, frivolous and lovely indulgence of the sweetest and healthiest kind.  I make smoothies with cacao, coconut milk, banana, spinach and that is it. It is healthy as can be and it tastes delicious!

David Wolfe’s established recommended moderate daily intake is 1 cacao bean per 11-17 pounds of body weight.  If you weigh 150 pounds you would eat about 10 cacao beans a day.
