I love my daily smoothies. I always add some sort of protein powder, ice, some sort of 100% juice or filtered water, and then either fruit and veggies. Sometimes I decide to make it a sweet milkshake-like smoothie with cacao powder, ice, milk, and banana. Sometimes I make an iced matcha latte smoothie. This past week I have been trying a cacao powder that is ceremonial grade. This one is unique because it has maca and coriander spice in it. It has a little kick in flavor and it has the extra benefits of maca. I love ceremonial matcha tea powder and so I was pleased to find a ceremonial quality cacao powder. I find that these ceremonial-grade powders are always fresher, more potent in flavor, and higher quality than culinary grades. I was sent an 8 oz can of cacao powder to review from Cacao Lab. I like how the company says that chocolate is food not candy. I like my chocolate to taste rich and slightly unsweet. I am not fond of the highly waxy, and sugary sweet candy bars that are found at the checkout lanes. I like this product as it gives me energy and is enjoyable to eat without making me sick to my stomach or making me feel guilty.
I was sent this for my own opinion and was not compensated other than the complimentary product.
I have not tried this drink hot, however, that is how this particular product is intended. I make mine iced and in a blender. I add 1 or 2 bananas (I like my bananas before they are ripe as they are tart and less sweet). I also add milk, xylitol (birch) for sweetener (or you can use sugar), ice, and then the cacao. I added protein powder (made from whey, grass-fed cow milk) for 27 grams of protein. I really like how it turned out. This cacao smells amazing and is very rich and high quality. You can find this on Amazon. I recommend this product.
