Why not try to make it today and/or for the weekend? My favorite way to end the week is with this Peace Out Chocolate Cake!
Here’s why you should choose raw cacao:
By weight, raw cacao has more antioxidants than red wine, green tea, acai, pomegranates, and blueberries combined.
Phenylethylamine (PEA) is a chemical produced in our body when we fall in love. It increases focus, alertness, and serves as a natural appetite suppressant. We can produce this chemical at will by eating raw cacao.
