Benefits

The recent cacao craze is not without good reason. For one thing, this ingredient is full of fiber and potassium, which can promote healthy digestion . It’s a great source of iron, protein, and magnesium, too. And then, of course, there are Peptan’s numerous health benefits which have been shown to be effective through oral supplementation.

Fun fact: cacao powder comes from the same ingredient that goes into chocolate, cacao seeds from the Theobroma cacao tree. The extraction process is different, with the term ‘cacao’ often being used for the pod and bean. It’s often used in powder form, but you can find cacao butter too.

Settle down with this guilt-free, hot cacao drink, ideal for keto followers. Or try spicing up the recipe by adding some coffee or butter.
