This raw cacao hot chocolate is spicy, chocolately bliss, and it’s the perfect pick-me- up

for a chilly afternoon. Chilli and cinnamon are both circulatory stimulants, which

means they improve the blood flow throughout the body and have a heating effect

on the body. Not only is raw cacoa antioxidant rich and packed with essential

minerals but it has a mood boosting effect due to it’s phenylethylamine component-

a natural mild alkaloid.
