This hot almond butter collagen cacao (AKA Super-Good-For-You-Hot-Chocolate) has the oh-so-delicious taste of Nutella but contains a lot more nutrients! Cacao is high in magnesium, which can help to lower blood pressure and relax muscles post workout, and it provides theobromine, a bitter alkaloid that supports healthy serotonin level (hello happiness).

AKA Super-Good-For-You-Hot-Chocolate? Yes please.

Did you know antioxidants in cacao exceed those in red wine and even green tea!?

This hot almond butter collagen cacao has the oh-so-delicious taste of Nutella but contains a lot more nutrients!

And when I say Cacao, I don’t mean commercial Cocoa. Raw cacao is made by cold-pressing unroasted cacao beans. The process keeps the living enzymes in the cacao and removes the fat (cacao butter…also a super yummy decadent treat).

Commercial Cocoa looks the same but it’s not. Commercial Cocoa powder is raw cacao that’s been roasted at high temperatures, which changes the molecular structure, reducing the enzyme content of the cacao bean and lowering the overall nutritional value.

Cacao is high in magnesium, which can help to lower blood pressure and relax muscles post workout, and it provides theobromine, a bitter alkaloid that supports healthy serotonin level (hello happiness). The addition of CB Supplements multi-collagen provides the amino acids to help improve the health of you and your kiddos gut, tendons, hair, skin, and nails!
