Almond Mylk Chokolis (Raw Cacao)

Raw (or minimally-processed) cacao beans are superfoods. Here’s a quick rundown of some of their awesome health benefits:
Antioxidant effects. Cacao beans are absolutely packed with phenolic phytochemicals and flavonoids, which protect your cells against damage from free radicals (3). Oxidative damage can result in premature aging and many of the modern health conditions today (4).
Boosts your mood and cognitive performance. Epicatechin, the main flavonoid in cacao, improves various aspects of cognition, preserve cognitive abilities during aging, and even puts you in a better mood (5).
Lowers blood pressure. Recent studies found that flavanols lower blood pressure and increase blood vessel flexibility (6).
Protects your heart. Researchers found that flavanols and procyanidins from cacao increased antioxidant capacity in the blood plasma and reduced platelet reactivity, resulting in a healthier heart (7).
Regulates insulin levels. Epicatechin, a flavanol in cacao, activates key proteins and help regulate glucose production, even among diabetics (8).
Cacao beans are also rich in nutrients like magnesium, iron, potassium, calcium, zinc, copper, and manganese (9). They’re actually thought to be one of the richest food sources of magnesium around (10)!
