Cacao

 
Yes, I eat chocolate almost every day, in moderation. I add a tablespoon or so of raw cacao powder to my smoothies, blend it with avocados for a delicious mousse, bake it into hearty muffins full of nuts and seeds, add raw cacao beans to my trail mixes, sprinkle it on oatmeal and drink delicious, healthy chocolate beverages with nut milk, cacao, spices and a touch of raw honey or stevia.
Unprocessed chocolate is an incredible food that's full of nutrients, including valuable vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. There's some controversy surrounding the benefits of cacao and both sides are adamant about the opposing information. For now, I simply listen to my body and eat small amounts of it when the time feels right.
