All heard of the saying dark chocolate is good for you as it is high in antioxidants, but not too sure what it actually makes it so good apart from being delicious.
Dark raw chocolate, is known to be one of the high alkalising minerals, with this it also provides the body with a good dose of antioxidants known as polyphenols, improving our blood flow, along with the flavonal-rich content, we improve the level of nitric oxide levels within our blood, therefore relaxing our arteries as they expand to allow more blood to flow freely.
This being said, the easier the blood flow the more circulation we get throughout the entire body, especially for us ladies.
Therefore, I love the fact that #Nuzest use dark quality cacao in their Clean Lean Protein. Free from processed cocoa, allowing our bodies to receive the full benefits of what cacao brings us.
I also end up adding a lot of cacao nibs to my smoothies, I find that raw cacao is great for reducing any inflammation, also adding it is great for our oral hygiene, thanks to the anti-bacterial effects it holds.
Always remember to select cocoa sources that have a high flavanol content — the less processed, the better.
Yacon Syrup is something I often find key in using in most of my recipes when there is a need for a little added sweetness.
