Simple Cacao Drink Recipe

Cacao ceremonies stem from ancient Native mesoamerican cultures as a ritual to breed gratitude, intention and connection to Higher Spirit.

This sacred plant has been used as medicine for centuries. This naturally energy boosting plant gives you clarity without the crash. When consumed slowly, you may feel an opening in the heart chakra, awakening your spirit. Since this plant comes from Mother Earth, it is nourishing with natural antioxidants & flavonoids which lower blood pressure.

When I use Cacao:

• Starting a ceremony / sacred ritual (like a new moon ritual)

• In need of an energy boost

• Deepen my connection to Source

Recipe:

• 3/4 to 1 cup of non-dairy milk (oat milk, almond, soy)

• 4 tbps of raw cacao powder (Navitas is a brand I like) or shaved cacao from a block like the picture above (from Big Island Farmer’s Market)

• dash of cinnamon

• 1 tsp coconut oil

• sweetener of your choice (agave, maple syrup, honey)

1. Heat up the milk in a small pot

2. Once milk starts to warm, add in the cacao powder and cinnamon.

3. Whisk with love and intention as the ingredients start to combine

4. Once powder has dissolved add coconut oil and sweetener

5. Mix to combine and pour in a coup. Sip mindfully and with intention radiating gratitude to Mother Earth where the plant came from and opening to receiving the wisdom of the sacred drink.
