Now most of us will grab a box of instant powder from the supermarket because, to be honest, who has the time to stand a make hot chocolate!?

Healthier and tastier – yes please!
CACAO BENEFITS
So before we launch straight into the recipe, lets have a quick look at some benefits of cocoa. Whilst the cocoa bean has many health benefits, when added to most chocolate bars that we relate to as our guilty pleasures, they are accompanied with tons of additives. However, the cocoa bean itself has lots of health benefits:
- Contains lots of antioxidants with promote skin health
- Helps with inflammation which can help with acne breakouts
- Can reduce fatigue and regulate energy
- Supports heart and gut health
- Can help to regulate blood pressure
- A big mood-booster!
