The Chocolate Smoothie Benefits

The benefits of this chocolate smoothie are endless.  In fact, chocolate is one of the greatest super foods ever discovered. Ancient Mayan’s were the first to discover and indulge in this purple alien looking fruit. Its brain boosting and longevity enhancing properties are out of this world.  Interestingly, those who eat chocolate regularly live longest! However, it’s important that you’re using real chocolate and not the stuff you typically find in the store.  Real Chocolate is often referred to as “Raw Cacao.”  Check out my article: Raw Cacao Nibs: Boost Brain Power And Increase Longevity to learn more about the health promoting and adaptogenic qualities of raw cacao!

 

The Brain Boosting Recipe

This recipe is super simple and only takes a few minutes to make.  Please note that the smoothie should be “chunky” and not completely “smooth.”  By making the smoothie chunky this allows us to chew, which in return helps with the digestion process.  NEVER fully blend smoothies smooth;  always make sure you prepare them chunky.  You can learn more about the importance of chewing and digestion from my article: Why Using Your Blender May Not Be As Healthy As You Think
