The evidence is pretty clear that cacao powder pretty much has super powers!
If you haven’t already worked out that eating chocolate makes you feel good, research has confirmed that the antioxidants in cacao offer neuron protection and enhance cognition and positive mood. They can also positively affect the body’s immune response, reduce inflammation and inhibit bacterial growth in the gut. When cacao powder is blended with organic cacao butter and a little raw honey, we definitely have a chocolate your body will love. Add some activated nuts & seeds, dried fruit and toasted coconut and we get these delicious little nutrient dense, festive clusters that are perfect for almost any occasion.
