Oh hi Samson!
Evening “dessert” smoothie which is actually pretty green because of the kale I tried sneaking in. Entire package of frozen black cherries, lots of cacao, two dates, one banana, three stalks of crisp local kale, and a tablespoon of coconut oil! Phew, that’s a lot.

Apparently I had a hardcore sweet tooth today. I get super excited when I see new products and when my all time favorites are back in stock at the health food store.
Hail Merry: Their tarts are amazing and after today, I’m completely and utterly addicted to the blonde macaroons. The choco ones are pretty tasty too however they have an overwhelming Dunkin Donut’s chocolate glazed donut taste that’s a little off putting.
Organic Nectars: A local company based in the Hudson Valley, I bought their raw Golden White Chocolate bar which is surprisingly good however it’s not what I remember white chocolate tasting like back in the day. Tasty nonetheless!

Simple chocolate dip: cacao powder + agave nectar (or maple syrup).
Literally takes less than a minute to make, only has two ingredients, and satisfies any sort of chocolate/sweets craving!

It feels like I make this drink everyday but when I don’t, I certainly crave it. The staple ingredients are always the same: bananas, water, & cacao powder. However I always end up adding something extra like frozen raspberries, almond butter, or sneaking in a little wheatgrass.
The benefits of quality cacao are tremendous! In the 1 ounce that I added to my drink today I received - 4g of fat, 9g of fiber, 5g of protein, 4% RDA of calcium, and 22% RDA of iron. Not to add the amazing antioxidants and other important minerals such as manganese that are packed in this delicious powder.
