You can have it everyday! We recommend having larger doses (20g+) before 2pm. If you’d like an evening cacao, keep your dose around 10g.

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.

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.

What our customers think
“Today I am 23 days of no coffee and I can honestly say It wouldn’t be possible without the guys from Cacao Collective! I’ve tried so many things but nothing tastes as good as this cacao, it just hits the spot, I don’t crave coffee at all and there are so many health benefits!”

This has been helping me immensely to cut out coffee. I noticed my anxiety was so much worse having too much caffeine. I’m in lock-down, so having the cacao has been life-saving!
—Emily
We are now on our third bag and absolutely love it! I can’t drink coffee and was looking for an alternative, now I am in love. Amazing quality, and customer service. We only buy 1kg bags to keep us going.
