Raw Cacao Powder is a Natural Copper Supplement

Raw cacao is a good source of copper, for those who are copper deficient or seeking a natural source of copper. Copper is important for many body functions, a lack of copper can be often confused with iron deficiency as both show symptoms of anaemia and supplementing with high doses of Vitamin C, iron and Zinc can cause a copper deficiency as it offsets the copper balance unless you are also supplementing with plenty of copper that is bio available, I recommend natural sources of vitamins as supplements have different molecular structure and for the most part synthetic.

Raw Cacao Powder Recipes

Do any of you use raw cacao powder? I can't believe how much better it tastes than the regular cocoa powder from the store that I have used all of my life.

Supposedly raw cacao powder has more nutrients than the processed stuff. (Makes sense to me! )

Here are a couple of recipes:

My 5 year old's favorite breakfast - he calls it "Chocolate Museli"

1/2 cup dry quick oats
1 teaspoon raw sugar
1 teaspoon cacao powder
pinch of salt

Mix together. Pour milk onto it, or kefir or yogurt. Mix and eat.

This is also good with sliced bananas or blueberries in it.

Chocolate Banana Milkshake

2 ripe bananas, frozen and broken into chunks
1.5 tablespoons of raw cacao powder
2 T. raw sugar
2 cups milk, kefir or yogurt.

Blend together in a blender until smooth. Add more milk if it is too thick for your taste. Add more banana if you want it thicker.

My children love this for a snack on a warm afternoon.

Enjoy!

Raw Cacao Benefits

Raw cacao has unique substances that increase and balance all the neurotransmitters in the brain and make people feel like they got a dozen free hugs. These are denatured when improperly processed and heated. I buy 10 lbs. of raw organic cocao powder from a reputable company for $109 shipped. I put 45 grams and some other goodies in a gallon of water and drink 1 pint every 2 hours.
