Grounding theobromine
Cacao's secret weapon? Theobromine. Scientifically known as a vasodilator, theobromine opens up your blood vessels and increases blood flow throughout your body - making you feel more energised and alive.

THE PLANT MAGIC
Hailing from the foothills of the Himalayas, pink Himalayan salt adds a mineral-packed salty element to this balancing blend.
A healing spice that's commonly used in the Mayan tradition. Achiote adds a subtle savoury element to this grounding blend.
The sticky syrup from the sap of the coconut palm flowers brings a healthier touch of sweetness to this blend.
Why cacao is a great grounding food
Grounding foods help you feel more connected to the present moment, and few things do this better than cacao.
Firstly, cacao contains a mild stimulant called theobromine, which increases blood flow to your brain, heart and lungs.
And with more blood flowing to these vital organs, cacao leaves you feeling more alive and energised than normal.
Cacao also contains feelgood compounds (anandamide and phenylethylamine), which act on specific brain receptors and boost your body's production of the bliss chemicals serotonin and dopamine.
And when you feel good, you tend to feel more grateful for whatever is happening in your life right now.
HOW TO MAKE THE PERFECT CUP OF CACAO
1. Heat 200ml water or milk, and allow to cool slightly.
2. Add the water/milk and 4 tablespoons ( 35g; a ceremonial dose) or 2 tablespoons (17g; a daily dose) of cacao to a blender or pan.
3. Blend in blender or gently whisk in a pan (under a low flame) until smooth and creamy.
4. Sweeten if needed.
5. Enjoy hot or iced.
For best results, take on an empty stomach. And because cacao is a stimulant, it's best taken earlier in the day.
