I’ve been drinking this product for about a year now, it’s easy to make, I pop 2 scoops in the cacao collective blender, add honey and my collagen powder, it always helps me get on with my day, I need the honey to sweeten the flavour but I’m loving my morning ritual now, the blender stays charged for a couple of weeks use so I don’t need to charge it often, so happy I found this company, Thankyou❣️🙏🏻♥️

I do think it is very good. I do enjoy my hot Cacao drink . I have probably twice a day.
- KDkristal d.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoSuch a nice tradition
I’ve never been a coffee drinker, but I tried this probably a year - 2 years ago in winter. And still going today. I just love it.
- ETEmily T.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoA non negotiable 🤍
Cacao is a non negotiable and much loved part of my daily routine. A recent mama of twin girls and an energetic toddler, my morning cacao and journaling has become such a savoured part of my day. I love that cacao gives me energy whilst ensuring I stay grounded and nourished. I love Cacao Collective and will be a forever customer.
