Just take a tablespoon or so And put a few drops of water in it and mix it until it's spreadable with your fingers and when it's dry on your face Then wash it off and you will feel wonderful

    Am just about to start drinking Cacao using powder, however still looking whether Cacoa paste is even better. Eat porridge every day with sliced bananna, blue berries and honey. Honey is never from a super market because just like coco is highly processed having been heated to high degree, plus filtration taking out pollen and enzymes, so you might as well eat sugar... Purchase honey locally by looking up local bee keeping associations. `there are always bee keepers listed who sell their own produced honey. Taste delicious and like Cacao is excellent for health, plus it's great for staving off colds! Looked up reviews for Seven Hills Wholefoods and has a lot of 1 star reviews. They claim foods are sourced in Europe, however according to reviews a lot are from China!

Well, I routinely end up eating half a regular size bag of those little buggers, lol. Not too smart. Yeah, I figured out that half bag is about 840 calories. Holy moly and I'm consuming just about everyday. Definitely addicted. 🤦‍♂️ So I'm gonna take the plunge and dive into cacao powder (haha).

    Well I just started to drink green tea again & bought a package of decaf green tea, because I figure with the mug of coffee (Yes, I'm an American!) and the 2 cups of cacao per day that would be alot of caffeine. ...so that was disappointing to hear that they put something IN the tea :( I am not sure about drinking the cacao drink at night before I go to bed, as I have caffeine sensitivities, so that if I eat or drink anything with caffeine or sugar I can be sure that I will be awake ALL NIGHT :( I make mine pretty simple as well...(one in the mid morning and one at mid afternoon). 1 tablespoon in a pan with a little hot water til it dissolves, add 2 small drops of honey, then add 1 cup of whole milk. I noticed the benefits right from the first day about 1 week ago. I had a knee injury in 1987 and ever since then my leg has been swollen/inflamed. Right away I noticed I wasn't in pain all day! And I had extra energy and got alot accomplished. The main reason for me taking it was blood flow. I just happened to have a video show up on my youtube channel from Dr. William Li about how cacao can multiply the stem cells and I've been thru alot of traumas in my life which I am sure has affected my stem cells, so this intrigued me. I felt my blood flow improve from day 1 :D 😁

    Pouring boiling hot water onto the cacao directly will almost certainly destroy the flavonoids and antioxidants. You are better off missing the cold ingredients in a blender and then drinking, cold would be best but can warm gently with the caveat the heat will destroy flavonoids and antioxidants
