Healthy Benefits of these 5 Ingredients
Cacao powder.Cacao isn’t cocoa. Cocoa is what you’d find in normal chocolate and it’s the cacao bean that’s been very heavily heated and processed so all of the goodness is taken out. So this is why it’s much better to use cacao.
Cacao contains more than flavonoids; it provides minerals like magnesium which helps neutralize free radicals (harmful molecules), thus preventing premature aging caused by oxidative stress . This means higher quality cacao products may offer you longer life spans with improved physical performance. Cacao is an anti oxidant, full of fiber and magnesium and is a natural mood booster.
Coconut Oil. Coconut oil is a super food and in fact it can even help you lose weight. Coconut oil can help improve your skin’s elasticity and prevent sagging. It can also help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Coconut oil is a natural antibacterial, so it can help to keep your skin clear and blemish-free.
Coconut oil is full of good fats, low in carbs and rich in antioxidants
Almond Butter. Almond butter is a great addition to your diet if you’re looking for some delicious and nutritious snacks. Almonds have been shown time after time as being among the most nutrient-dense food sources on earth! They contain over 20 different vitamins including Vitamin E, which helps keep skin healthy from head down. They are also a prebiotic which means they are good for your gut and studies have shown almonds can actually help reduce wrinkles

I’m confused. In the Notes it says, “NO STEVIA POWDER: Use liquid stevia drops, monk fruit sweetener drops or other powdered sugar alternative (not granulated) to taste”. But I don’t see Stevia Powder listed in the ingredient list. Is Stevia Powder supposed to be listed as an ingredient and, if so, how much?

Lovely recipe but as I’m a low carb eater, maple syrup is just fructose; a sugar and spikes insulin, I just swapped it out for low carb pancake syrup or monk fruit drops, thanks for sharing, Sx????????
