Health Benefits of the Cacao Smoothie Bowl

Below is a quick breakdown of the wonderful healing benefits of each ingredient in the cacao smoothie bowl.

Maca powder

This Peruvian root is most known for its ability to increase libido in men and women. If you were wondering, this statement is supported by scientific evidence. The maca root increases fertility, boosts energy, and elevates endurance.

Cacao powder

Cacao is very different from cocoa which has been chemically processed and roasted, stripping it of antioxidants. Raw cacao is the highest plant-based source of iron and full of magnesium. These high amounts of magnesium are ideal for heart and brain health.

Coconut flakes

Unsweetened organic coconut flakes are a great natural energy source. Along with natural energy, they also contain high amounts of naturally-occurring iron and ease digestive health.

Granola

Depending on which kind you get, granola can be a simple beneficial topping. Gluten-free, low sugar granola is the most health-conscious choice. Our favorite is Bear Naked Cacao and Cashew Butter granola.

Almond milk

To keep it health-conscious, we recommend sticking with organic unsweetened almond milk. If you want something on the lower sugar side, you can choose Organic Coconut Milk.

Above all, this dairy-free alternative contains various nutrients such as vitamin E, zinc, fiber, iron, magnesium, potassium, manganese, and selenium.

Dried cranberries

Cranberries contain high amounts of fiber which helps support digestive health. Therefore, these berries also play a key role in skin and joint health. The vitamin C they contain is essential to making collagen. Add some cranberries for an extra immunity boost.
