To Mayans, Cacao was “Food of the Gods” – a medicinal go-to. Current scientists agree. It is anti-inflammatory, immune boosting and cardio-protective.
Cacao is a “Food of the Gods” for our times; known to promote calmness and concentration.
Most famous for its role in chocolate production (yum!). Cacao has health benefits bon bon junkies never imagined. There are more clinical studies on it than Hershey bars in a Halloween basket. Among its wonders; potent anti-oxidant delivery, inflammation relief, cardiovascular protection, mood boosting and skin soothing. It is so easy to add to your diet, you’ll want to Carpe Cacao every day.
Cacao is chock full of natural polyphenols; potent anti-inflammatories to mitigate oxidative stress. And, metabolites from this evergreen plant add positive influence on the heart and vascular system. Cacao; a wonderful way to protect your plumbing!
The botanic name for Cacao is Theobroma cacao. Research shows that a key ingredient, theobromine, may act as an anti-inflammatory and add other benefits. Cacao’s flavonoids have shown free radical scavenging ability. “Food of the Gods” has the goods.
No one is ready to proclaim Cacao as a solution for depression or anxiety. However, its flavonols and polyphenols positively affect mood, memory and cognition. A recent trial reported “significantly increased self-rated calmness and contentedness.”
A hot trend in skincare is a Cacao face mask. Studies show applying raw cacao offers a lot of the same benefits as eating it. Dermatologist Shirley Chi, MD, says, “It’s anti-aging, moisturizing, and smoothing.” Somewhere, Mayan women are smiling.

I make a latte every morning with coffee, cocao powder, Andrew Lessman vanilla protein powder and home-made almond milk. Delish!

This is the only cacao powder that didn’t have prop 65 on it which I’m hoping is only because this brand is safer, maybe it’s not but it made me feel more inclined to get this one. I tried it yesterday with my almond milk banana smoothie and it was delicious! The container has cute images that made me giggle too. Definitely repurchasing!

I have been loving this cacao powder. It mixes very well and has a subtle, rich taste. I have been adding it to oatmeal, cookies, smoothies, and espresso drinks. It’s another fantastic KOS product that I have implemented into my daily diet. The serving size is one scoop, but two might be more preferable for someone who wants it to be more indulgent in recipes.

Some of the powder was on the outside, but my Ma assured me that the marks, and residue on the sealed part was part of the packaging process. I would have liked a cleaner presentation, but it happens. It’s very yummy! I make chocolate chip banana nicecream with it!

I purchased Lions Mane, Ashwagandha, Cacoo, and cinnamon bark powder. The packaging is cute, and the wide mouth makes it very easy to measure out the amount needed. The price is very good for organic adaptogen products.

I love the flavor and all the antioxidant benefits it gives. It also gives me a bit of energy as well. I put it in my mocha every AM. I do add raw honey to my mocha to give it a bit of sweetness.

This protein isn’t so grainy and with an added banana it is super smooth. I love the taste and I love that they use monk fruit as a sweetener. My 2 year old loves drinking this in the mornings with me and I feel good sharing it since it have all the extra benefits. The company assured me this one extensively checked for heavy metals.

I used this product to make homemade ‘truffles’. It was delicious! I had actually been shopping for carob powder (I’m doing an elimination diet and am supposed to be not consuming cacao or any chocolate product :)…and ordered this by mistake. It is high quality, in my opinion, so I’ve been having a hard time deciding whether to give it away to someone who can immediately use it OR keep it until I can introduce cacao/chocolate into my diet.

Good quality great product! Will buy again.
