Why we love this recipe with our cacao
Our ceremonial cacao is 100% cacao. That means, unlike cocoa powder, it isn't over-processed & defatted. It's full of nutrients and the cacao butter is still present, which turns these Breakfast Protein Bars into a melt-in-your-mouth-experience. Using these simple ingredients alongside our cacao makes for a healthy & nutrient-dense start to your morning.
