Cocoa: Food of the Gods

December 12, 2015

I hear all the time “I cannot afford the time, money or ingredients for raw/wholefoods lifestyle”. Really? If you have time to stand in-line and order an extra skinny-soya-double-shot-frappucino-with-hazelnut-syrup before work and a chicken mayonnaise baguette at lunch-time, then not only do you have the money, patience and time to make a protein-packed smoothie for breakfast, and a hearty nutritious salad for lunch, you also have money left over to start buying the core essentials for your wholefoods larder at home!

They are the highest plant source of omega 3 essential acids. Digestion:

To optimize health and vitality, superfoods David suggests, give us the biggest bang for our buck by meeting and exceeding all our protein requirements, our vitamin and mineral requirements, glyconutrient requirements, essential fatty acid requirements, immune system requirements, and so much more.

This golden wonder spice came into my radar during recent stints in Bali when I became rather fond of a local drink called jamu, made with fresh turmeric, ginger, tamarind and honey. Lately much has also been researched and written about the wonders of this intensely bright, pungent super food.
