This Yeotown favourite is perfect for the cooler winter months. Despite being dairy-free, it’s a luxuriously indulgent take on everyone’s favourite chocolate winter warmer. Plus, its main ingredient is packed with a wealth of health benefits.
Cacao powder, made from raw cacao beans, is a nutrient-rich superfood packed with health benefits. It’s loaded with antioxidants, particularly flavonoids, which combat oxidative stress, reduce inflammation, and support heart health by improving blood flow and reducing blood pressure. Rich in essential nutrients like magnesium, iron, potassium, and zinc, cacao supports energy production, muscle function, and overall wellbeing. Its natural compounds, including phenylethylamine (PEA) and serotonin precursors, can enhance mood, reduce stress, and promote feelings of happiness.
