Discover how this rich, velvety blend of cacao and herbs can soothe your stress, boost your mood, and warm your soul—one delicious sip at a time.
If you’re looking for a warm hug in a mug that also offers a nourishing boost, this Medicinal Drinking Chocolate is just the thing. Made with rich, raw cacao, it’s more than just a delicious treat—it’s a powerhouse of magnesium and antioxidants that support relaxed muscles, radiant skin, and a happy heart. The Mayans and Aztecs revered cacao, calling it yollotl eztli or "heart blood," because of its ability to uplift the spirit and nourish the heart. Unlike coffee, cacao's gentle stimulant, theobromine, offers a smooth energy boost without the jittery crash, making it perfect for a cozy afternoon pick-me-up or a mindful morning ritual.
Put “drink chocolate” at the top of your list of things to do today. That way, at least you’ll get one thing done.
This blend also features gelatinized maca, an adaptogen known for its ability to balance hormones, boost mood, and enhance resilience to stress. Maca is a nutrient-dense wonder, filled with vitamins, minerals, and plant compounds that support everything from your brain to your libido. Add in some Ceylon cinnamon for a touch of sweetness and metabolism support, plus mesquite powder, which has a rich, caramel-like flavor and helps balance blood sugar, and you’ve got yourself a drinking chocolate that’s as nourishing as it is indulgent. Let’s dive into this recipe and savor the magic of these ingredients—your taste buds and body will thank you!
