A Simple Guide to Preparing Ceremonial Cacao

step 1

Boil the kettle and let it sit while you make your cacao. You want the water to be hot, not boiling.

step 2

Put 20g of shaved ceremonial cacao into your blender with 80-120ml milk of your choice.

step 3

Add your sweetener of choice to taste. We love using honey, maple syrup, coconut sugar or stevia.

step 4

Add 100-150ml of hot water.Then blend for 10s or until frothy.

    Couldn't Live Without It

    I have been having Cacao daily since Cacao Collective first started. (Literally, before the website was open and I ordered through DMs haha.) I use to be a coffee drinker however it gave me severe anxiety and heart palpitations. Cacao has given me a delicious morning routine, seen me through two pregnancies and motherhood and it's my commitment to myself at the start of every day and reminder to do things to fill up my cup. I feel so much clearer and love the little pep it gives me without the jitters. (Sat here writing this review drinking my Cacao.)

    My Newest Addiction

    I have tried many different brands for the last 2 years and I thought I found ‘the ONE’..!

    Until I tried Cacao Collective - I have it on auto-order and I am absolutely obsessed.. I get the high, without the crash, I have not touched a coffee since drinking this product..!

    I don’t add anything else but hot water with a dash of cold water and use a milk frother to blend in a barista jug…!

    No more coffee

    I have converted my husband to drinking cacao. Did not expect he has replaced his morning coffee with it. He misses it when he goes to the office and now takes it in thermos to work. Have had to buy more stock ( thanks Black Friday!) as I now have to share 😄

FAQS

Need help? We’ve got you covered.

HOW MUCH CACAO SHOULD I HAVE?

We often recommend 10-15g for first time users in approximately 150-200mls of water; moderate use between 15-30g in 180-230mls of water; for ceremonial doses between 35-42g in 200-250mls of water. In any case, we recommend each individual works their way up to larger doses, listening to how their body responds before increasing. If using plant milks (recommended for enhanced flavour & texture), cut down on the amount of water used. A blender of some sort is always recommended if looking to create the smoothest drink possible.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I HAVE CACAO?

That's up to you to decide. Everyday is absolutely fine. If you feel called for a second serving, we recommend having it several hours apart using a lower dose. Like anything, we also recommend intermittent breaks. There are no set standards for this, and we leave this up to your preference.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CEREMONIAL CACAO & CACAO POWDER?

Cacao powder is simply an extra processed form of cacao paste. It generally undergoes enormous pressure & heat (unless cold pressed) to separate the natural fatty acids from the other constituents of the cacao bean, leaving a powder behind. If nothing else is done to the powder, you have a pure cacao powder product. Cacao powder contains none of the fatty acids from the whole bean, so is lower in nutritional content compared to cacao paste. There are additional processes cacao powder may go through, which turns it into a cacao-based product, commonly called 'cocoa'. One major process includes roasting at high temperatures, which research shows significantly or completely destroys antioxidant content & other heat sensitive nutrition, thereby reducing the health benefits significantly. Other steps include alkalising through a process called dutching, or having additional ingredients added like milk, sugar, and preservatives. 100% organic criollo cacao paste is the highest quality, and most robust cacao for consumption.

WHY IS CACAO SO GOOD FOR YOU?

Cacao is arguably one of the most nutrient-dense plant products on earth. It contains many essential minerals such as: iron, zinc, magnesium, chromium, manganese, calcium and other trace minerals. It's rich in antioxidants and mood-boosting compounds to support your health and well-being.

CAN YOU CONSUME CACAO WHILST BREASTFEEDING?

Yes - we would even argue it’s incredibly beneficial whilst breastfeeding. As a duty of care, we always recommend you speak with your trusted healthcare professional if you’re interested in using cacao whilst breastfeeding your baby.

CAN YOU CONSUME CACAO WHILST PREGNANT?

Yes - we would even argue it’s incredibly beneficial whilst pregnant. As a duty of care, we always recommend you speak with your trusted healthcare professional if you’re interested in using cacao whilst pregnant.

HOW MANY SERVES PER BAG?

500g - approx. 33 serves 1kg - approx. 66 serves.
