Did you know that during menstruation many ladies crave chocolate because their bodies are actually in need of it? Chocolate is useful to rebuilding the lining of the uterus and also helps with balancing the hormones during menstruation. Of course not any chocolate! It has to be over 75% organic dark chocolate. Raw cacao has so many benefits that it is crucial to be added in your diet. Read more about raw cacao's benefits in my glossary section.
An interesting fact about cacao is that if it is mixed with any sort of dairy it inhibits the absorption of antioxidants. For my hot chocolate i like to use coconut milk and for my smoothies i choose any type of nut milk :)
Here is the recipe for my favorite drink :D
Recipe
1 cup of coconut milk (rude health brand - found this at al meera, they also have many different types of delicious nut milks as well)
1 tsp of Maca powder
2 tsp of Cacao powder
A pinch of cinnamon
A drop of vanilla extract
1/2 tsp of organic maple syrup (optional)
Blend everything in the blender.
Warm it in the saucepan.
Enjoy!
