Just to give you a comparison, let’s look at the ORAC antioxidant power ratings of our best-known superfoods. ORAC stands for “oxygen radical absorbance capacity.” It’s a measure of the antioxidant activity of foods.
Basically, researchers set a bunch of free radicals (bad) against a sample of a food and see how well the antioxidants in the food can "disarm" the radicals. [1]
Even the now-famous "Goji Berry"...well known as one of the most nutritionally-packed superfoods in the world...has an ORAC antioxidant score of just 25,300.
All of these are impressive at delivering free radical reducing antioxidants...
Why is getting MAXIMUM antioxidant power working in your body so critical to your health and longevity?
Antioxidants can help support your body’s natural ability to reduce free radicals that would otherwise cause damage and unhealthy aging in your body. [3]
Our bodies naturally produce free radicals when it processes the air we breathe and the food we eat. The danger comes when even more free radicals are created inside your body from harmful things like too much sun exposure, cigarette smoke, pollution, and toxic chemicals such as chemical weed killers and many household products. You even produce free radicals when you stress out! [4]
But here's the GOOD NEWS...
The antioxidants in the foods you eat (like raw cacao) can help support your body's ability to reduce free radicals, which then helps to promote your overall health. [5]
That's why...
But perhaps this chocolate has shown to be one of the most powerful foods on the planet because cacao contains a huge amount of a certain type of antioxidant, called FLAVANOLS.
Getting as much flavanol antioxidant concentration into your body is critical to your health because flavanols are particularly effective as a health-supporting and health-promoting antioxidant [6] [7] and as a prebiotic and probiotic for a healthy gut. [8]
The flavonoid antioxidant alone has been shown to support heart health, help blood circulation, and promote healthy blood sugar levels by up to 30%! [9]
In fact, a 2006 study found that...
What!!! How is this possible from simply eating rich, delicious chocolate?!
Well, Oregon State University boiled it down to the fact that flavanols modulate a number of cell-signaling cascades...which helps support the body's natural inflammation response, support the circulatory system, maintain healthy blood sugar levels, and support brain health. [11]
WOW! That's enough to sign me up to eat delicious chocolatey cacao all day long!
But that’s not all...
In fact, a 2006 study found that...
Even science calls cacao "The Love Drug" [12] ...because as you eat and start to digest raw cacao, your brain fills with a treasure chest of naturally occuring "feel good" chemicals.
Seriously, next time you need an unforgettable gift for someone you love THIS IS IT! When you eat cacao, it helps your brain naturally send more "feel-good" chemicals, including:
Unfortunately, modern day chocolate-processing techniques have stripped away the vital nutrients in many cacao foods, which then robs it of its ability to support and optimize your body and mind. [17]
That's why I searched far and wide to hunt down a certain kind of cacao that is specially grown and produced in a way that preserves the maximum value of all these health benefits.
I discovered a small group of Peruvian farmers using a rare "kissed by the sun" form of production to maximize the nutrients and give you what I believe is the highest quality cacao you can buy.
The raw cacao I source for my Cacao Bliss formula is VERY rare and in short supply.
It comes all the way from Peru, because only the absolute best will do, and I'll tell you why:
You see, I believe Peru is King when it comes to producing the very best organic cacao chocolate in the world...
Peru has some of the greatest biological diversity on the planet. It contains the IDEAL growing synergy of plant species, soils and climates for cacao.
When you smell and taste Peruvian cacao, it's truly exquisite, and incredibly aromatic...and that makes it an incredibly valuable resource too.
It's one of the reasons there's a world boom of Peruvian cuisine where cacao fills a privileged niche...
So I hunted down a rare producer of raw cacao who still uses the ancient sun-kissed method of preserving and curing raw cacao beans.
These cacao beans are NEVER roasted. Instead, they're harvested naturally by hand and sun-dried as they're gently ground down into a fine powder.
They're also single-source, meaning we only use one source of cacao beans, unlike many other companies who use cacao blends, diluting its total nutritional value and leaving you unsure of its quality.
But I didn't stop at the very best cacao I could find...
I personally wanted to take it one step further and create Cacao Bliss from "ceremonial-grade" cacao. Here's why...
Ceremonial-grade cacao is revered by natives in South America as the most treasured form of cacao because it represents a truly exotic superfood.
When I was with the natives in South America, I drank ceremonial-grade cacao as part of their sacred ritual, and I'll never forget it. The natives told me that this version gives you earth-instilled nutrition that has higher energetic properties...and I could feel it helping my body. It was a truly magical experience.
Ceremonial-grade cacao is made differently, by fermenting and sun-drying (not roasting) the beans...
...then peeling the husks by hand and gently grinding them down into a fine powder.
Nothing added, nothing removed.
Just like mother nature intended!
This gives you direct access to something that's wholly nourishing, for mind, body and spirit...which if you know me...is what I've been teaching for years!
But even though cacao is one of the most powerful health foods on the planet, I didn't want to stop at just cacao...because I knew I could help you even more if I infused this raw cacao with even more of nature's most powerful superfoods!
So to help you get the biggest bang out of your chocolate buck...
Since I'm all about getting maximum nutrition and health benefit out of the foods people eat, I hand-picked a few of the most powerful superfoods on the planet, and infused them with the best cacao I could find, making my Cacao Bliss formula truly unique. These additional superfoods are:
If you suffer from joint discomfort, you probably know this bright yellow spice is the "Golden Child" of therapeutic superfoods. In fact, recent studies show that turmeric can promote joint health and relieve sore muscles. [18]
Turmeric can help support your body's natural inflammation response all over your body so your overall health is supported. [19] [20]
That's why, along with cacao, it's important to get a daily serving of high-quality turmeric like the one in Cacao Bliss.
In addition, turmeric helps maintain your cell's health, including those responsible for maintaining a healthy inflammatory response.
It's turmeric's ability to support these functions that's lead scientists to believe that turmeric can help promote great overall health and well-being and support a healthy aging process. [21]
And get this..
Turmeric even helps support and cleanse your liver. [22]
Plus, a new study found that turmeric can also support a positive mood. The people who ate turmeric said they felt happier. [23]
How a single natural compound can help your body in so many critical ways has fascinated countless scientists for centuries...
Today, more than 6,000 clinical studies over the past 30 years shows that turmeric is a powerful antioxidant, joint health and immune system supporting natural supplement. [24]
And you'll be glad to know that turmeric's awesome health benefits have stood the test of time. Not only have people have been eating this extraordinary spice for their health for thousands of years, early records show it to be one of the longest-studied natural supplements of all time. Its effects on human health were recorded as early as 1748. [25]
And since the science has been so in-depth with such consistent results, scientists are now calling turmeric the ideal "natural health food" because it can help to greatly enhance and maintain your overall health and wellness. [26]
Can you see why turmeric is one of my favorite superfoods, and why I think it's so important for you to eat every single day, in addition to cacao?
Plus I added a little Black Pepper to bring out the full benefit of the turmeric, without affecting the flavor of Cacao Bliss whatsoever.
You see...turmeric is poorly absorbed into your body, and so if you eat it alone you won't get the full strength of all these essential health benefits, and I want that for you.
Research shows that when you add just a touch of black pepper to turmeric, the piperine compound in black pepper can increase turmeric absorption by up to 2,000%! [27]
But I didn't stop there, because I want to give you even more health benefit in my Cacao Bliss formula, so I also added...
I love MCT oil not only because it truly is The King of Healthy Oils, but also because it actually burns body fat! [+]
Being that I help women create the body and life they've always wanted, my favorite health benefit of MCT oil is that it helps you more easily manage your weight AND avoid storing body fat. [+] [28]
Here's how...
First of all, not all calories are the same... [29]
The calories from medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are healthier, natural fats concentrated in coconut oil, increase how many calories you burn compared to the same amount of calories from longer chain fats, which are in animal and vegetable oils like macadamia, canola, safflower, and olive oil. [30]
Equally key is that MCT oil doesn't get stored as fat like long-chain fats do. Instead, MCT oil goes directly to your liver and is used immediately for energy. Not only do you get a quick boost in energy, this oil is far less likely to cause weight gain. [+] [31]
So in other words, medium chain fats are more likely to be used as pure energy, rather than store as body fat, and long chain fats produce body fat (and just some energy).
Plus, MTC oil may help you burn more fat... [*]
Because MTCs are more quickly and easily transported directly inside your cells, this boost in energy helps "heat up" your body, increase your metabolism, and burn more body fat. [32]
The other reason MCT oil makes a great weight manager is that it helps you feel full and stops cravings... [33]
A study found that MCTs increase the release of the two hormones that control your appetite and make you feel full. [34]
This study was a true test of willpower that you might face everyday too. All kinds of really yummy food were put out and participants were told to "eat as much as you would like of this meal until you are satisfied."
And guess what?!
Scientists found that...
That's a big deal to not feel the need or desire to eat anymore than a normal, healthy amount of food, because that's so critical for successful weight management!
In fact MCTs for weight management has been so effective, a study concluded that it can be used to reduce excess weight. This same study also found that MCT oil reduces a certain kind of fat called subcutaneous, which is the fat that sits just under your skin [36] – and right where cellulite sits! [+] [37]
(Can I get a big "heck yea!" for THAT?)
So I'll bet you might be thinking to yourself...
Hmm...eat this chocolate that's infused with MCT oil and lose weight, including losing cellulite [*]...OH YEAH! SIGN ME UP!!
But that's not the only reason I love MCT oil...
As I explained above, the big difference is that MCT oil goes straight from the gut to the liver. From there, they are used as a source of energy or turned into ketones, which is a source of glucose that your brain uses as an extra energy source. [38] [39]
In fact, this works so well that anyone can...
A study that tested the effects of MCT oil found a significant difference in cognition abilities between those who ate MCT oil and those who didn't. [41]
A study showed that those who ate MCT oil experienced SIGNIFICANT improvement in memory, recall, communication, social interaction, and global cognitive functioning, which helps you plan and execute goal-directed behaviors, abstract reasoning, and judgment. [42]
WOW! WOW! WOW!
So if you're looking for extra mental power and focus, this "brain food" is the clear winner!
And it's not just the brain that gets a boost in mental energy...
A study found that eating MCT oil also gives you a quick burst of physical energy for better athletic performance and longer endurance. [43] That means you get more out of your workouts, can exercise longer, and KEEP GOING strong all day!
So now that I've told you how MCT oil helps to curb your cravings, helps you avoid storing fat [*], revs up your metabolism [*], and gives your brain and body a quick burst of energy, here's the next amazing superfood I hand-picked to give you even more great health and easier weight management, which is...
Cinnamon is another spice that has a long history as a natural health booster. In Medieval times used it was used to help support a variety of different health issues. Later, it became so highly-prized that several wars were fought over it. At one time in Rome, cinnamon cost even more than gold. [44]
Cinnamon is certainly one of the most delicious spices on the planet, and now we know that this superfood also has a ton of health benefits – and they're all supported by science.
The type of cinnamon I'm talking about it Ceylon Cinnamon, and with the latest research, it's become known as the new "skinny spice." [*] [45] [46]
Many human studies have shown the glucose management ability of cinnamon, and how it can maintain healthy blood sugar levels. [49] [50] [51]
Cinnamon's ability to help you maintain healthy blood sugar levels also makes it easier for you to manage your weight...and that's because your body naturally stores more fat when your blood sugar level is elevated. [+] [52]
Plus, just like cacao and turmeric, cinnamon is also loaded with antioxidants that can help protect your body from free radicals. [53] [54] [55]
In fact a study showed that, compared to the antioxidant activity of 26 other spices, cinnamon outranked all of them as the clear winner...even winning over superfoods like garlic and oregano. [56]
But that's not all...
Two compounds found in cinnamon stop the buildup of a protein called tau in the brain, which is one of the telltale signs of cognitive decline. [57] [58] [59]
A study showed that cinnamon helped protect neurons, normalized neurotransmitter levels and improved motor function. [60]
And get this...
Cinnamon can even help you fight off bad breath!
The Cinnamaldehyde compound naturally found in cinnamon can help boost the immune system and support digestive health, thus protecting you against suboptimal health and bad breath. [61] [62] [63] [64]
Who'd think that "to die for" chocolate infused with cinnamon could keep you healthy and keep your breath smelling great too!
Speaking of which, you'll LOVE that Cacao Bliss gives you...
When my team and I began creating this formula, I demanded that Cacao Bliss not just be the healthiest, but the TASTIEST raw cacao superfood formula on the planet.
Unless I could make a final version that felt magical the second it touched your lips without "white sugar" or other unhealthy, glucose-raising sweetener, I wouldn't be satisfied. I wanted to give you a rich, chocolatey, non-bitter flavor you could enjoy without resorting to refined sugar.
Monk Fruit is an Asian fruit that looks like a tiny watermelon. Yet it helps satisfy your sweet tooth just as well as sugar, with zero calories and no ill effect on your blood sugar. [65]
Plus it's great at helping your system heal wounds faster by inhibiting bacteria growth. [66] [67]
Next, I also added just a touch of coconut nectar.
Unlike table sugar, coconut nectar contains a unique fiber known as inulin, which acts as a prebiotic and feeds the healthy gut bacteria in your lower intestine. [68] [69]
One study revealed that inulin might improve glycemic control. [70]
To give you an extra burst of chocolate flavor I also added a small amount of organic cocoa powder, for a rich, smooth, velvety taste with no grittiness.
Plus, as an extra shot of flavor I also included:
*NOTE: When combined with a healthy diet and exercise regimen
And when I mixed all these superfoods together I was so excited because IT TASTED EVEN BETTER...and my heart knew that it was as if the cacao wanted to be "married" to all these other amazing natural health superfoods to help support and ignite your body and mind as much as possible.
And you can also rest assured:
No wonder I think this chocolate is the motherlode of all superfoods!
As you can see, I’ve combined the healthiest, most delicious raw cacao I could find, along with other health-boosting superfoods to create an irresistible chocolate formula you can use as your "guilty pleasure" every day.
