Chocolate pudding: 1 tbsp raw cacoa, 2 tbsp chia seeds, 1 cup oat, soy or almond milk. Put in a vitamix to blend then put in freezer for 30 mins. So healthy and delicious!
They sell Raw Cacao at Walmart - a huge one pound bag! I blend 2 tablespoons of it with soy milk and chocolate protein powder and it makes a great after workout shake!
Avoid Soy. Its GMO unless stated. And causes cancer, amongst other things. Only Fermented Organic Soy is safe Japanese style like Miso, Natto, Tempeh, etc. Even then, estrogen enzyme levels in it can cause havoc to hormones. Do blood work first re endocrine disruptors. Before n after. Dont blindly follow health fads re soy. Not all vegan or vegetarian practices are safe n healthy. Good luck. X
plain old cocoa powder provides all the minerals anyone could need, along with some nice antioxidants. It is hard to imagine that cacao is THAT big an improvement. The truth is you have a superfood sitting in your cabinet already. The same underapreciated super food that is your moms cupboard when you were growing up.
Thanks for clearing up the confusion. Ca-Cow - spelled: (C-A-C-A-O) V.S. Ca-Co-A - spelled: (C-A-C-O-A) Love the Raw Cacao. Clean energy. Great Diet enhancer. Heirloom varieties are the best! No negative side efects from my experience.
Great content, you know your stuff and your inner glow shows from all the joyous health! Thank you for sharing and dropping the knowledge, this is exactly the information I was looking for.
Hi new sub here. Im researching the benefits of cacao your video helped me a lot. Precise and to the point. Thank you. Im looking to also add it into my diet. Where can I get raw cacao powder?
Occasionally i may use honey, but mainly eat them bitter! I got used to it :-) it's actually only bitter when first hits your taste buds, but once you chew into a mush the bitterness significantly subsides... Most people avoid bitter foods, but according to the ayurvedic science of the six kinds of Taste and mental States and qualities they relate to, bitter taste (opposite of sweet) builds discipline energy in the brain and nervous system and balances out too much Water element ... has the quality of drying. No matter how much I was exercising, eating all healthy fats, A ideal Pescatarian/Vegetarian diet and staying away from sugar, dairy and wheat I was SO DAMN FRUSTRATED about my belly still appearing bloated a lot. Soon as I started eating a handful of Cacao nibs daily (deliberately raw) I noticed my belly started shrinking quickly! Sounds Crazy, but true!
Anthony Bunch I have recently purchased cocoa butter. It’s a nice little snack. I got it from Wild Foods. I have been wanting to try adding Cacao powder to Bullet Proof Coffee. I think that it will turn out pretty good. I also want to try it with Cocoa Butter as well.
CGM8679 You could add 1 tbsp of raw cacao powder to a smoothie, you could make hot chocolate out of raw cacao. I've got tons of recipes with raw cacao here: www.joyoushealth.com/?s=raw+cacao&post_type=&filter= One of my fave recipes is my Chocolate Almond Butter Mylkshake: www.joyoushealth.com/blog/2015/05/19/chocolate-almond-butter-milkshake/ Raw cacao provides a "cleaner" energy and does not tax the adrenals the way coffee can.
@AppleThorn Records I was just about to comment that. I haven't drunk cow milk in such a long time, mostly because almond milk doesn't expire so quickly like regular milk does. But honestly, it tastes so much more better.
Roasting reduces phytates. Phytates blocks some uptake of minerals. Some brands don't use lower and slower heating which gives you the best of both worlds. Better digestion and less phytates.
GREAT Video!! BUT....you forgot to mention it needs to be organic. You also forgot to mention the cocoa powder IS very healthy, but raw cacao is better. I always buy Organic Cocoa powder. But, thanks to you I am switching to organic raw cacao! And yes, I do sweeten it with organic raw honey, organic coconut palm sugar and/or organic stevia.
Question: if you are adding honey to sweeten anyway 1) what's wrong with candy bars and 2) what's wrong with the alkali process using potassium carbonate and LESS sweetener?
I'm really enjoying the organic cacao nibs just straight up as a snack. Yeah, it was a little bitter and crunchy at first but love it now. Curious on your opinion on these vs the power. Great channel, thanks
Question: When I make a batch of no bake cookies with raw cacao, honey, and maple syrup.. is it okay to eat the whole thing? Probably too much sugar, but also a lot of fiber. I put oat bran in mine
I actually want get rid from my black tea. Can i add raw cacao or coco powder in milk .. usually i take two times tea in a day. So what is good for health benefits cacao or coco powder? Thanks
great info, very thorough - was at the grocery store last night debating buying Cocoa Powder or Cacao since the ingredients looked so similar! (i went with Cacao). thanks so much! love your positive energy and vibes, by the way 😊✌🏽
Sounds great but I read so much about raw cacao having fungi in it, so it's actually better to have it heated (cocoa powder) in order to kill it off. What's your opinion on that? Also, I love my homemade kefir and you also call it a superfood. Is the milk protein not a problem in this case?
Roonitochka If it's properly fermented, batch tested for mycotoxins and you are buying a reputable brand then you don't need to worry about fungus. Giddy Yoyo is the main brand I buy. You can read more about it on their website because they address the mycotoxin issue. The fermentation process should also be closely monitored to prevent this -- when people feel jittery and anxious from cacao it's usually a reaction to the mold and not necessarily the caffeine. That being said, if you don't feel well when you eat it then definitely avoid it. Kefir is definitely a superfood if you can tolerate dairy because it's very high in good bacteria.
Do you think Hershey’s cocoa powder still has nutritional value? It tastes just like chocolate, and it’s really bitter. I like to mix it with my green tea sometimes (I know that sounds like a bizarre combination). Thanks!
I know this Post if from 2015 BUT can you tell me why I Don't feel good when I eat Any Chocolate? I have been told my Adrenals are shot from too much Caffeine. Is this why?
Hi I just bought the Lucy Bee organic cacao powder- is it ok to put say a teaspoon of this in my two and a half year olds porridge in the mornings? I read cacao powder contains caffeine- is this right ? Would the cacao not be good for him? Hope you can help, many thanks
Sank you for this information. Just wish I saw this before I ordered cocoa capsule which is priced 1000% more in comparison to raw cacao powder. Thank you and God bless you with salvation.
I didn´t know about the thing about the milk. Could you point out any legitime scientific document or sort of that we can check?. This is so new for me. I try to eat healthy without falling in some kind of absurdity. Thanks.
iiinesita Just "google" casein blocking antioxidant absorption you'll find the scholarly articles pretty easily :) I hear you, it's always best to do your own research. The same is true for adding milk to tea, it blocks the absorption of polyphenols. It's not really new research.. you'll find studies dating back to 2007. Hope that helps!
I'm making some now, I tried that That Remedy Cacao Essentials almond milk drink, then when that was gone I kept refilling the bottle, sometimes with silk organic soy no sugar added, green carton, sometimes with almond milk, prefer the soy, throw like 3 spoons of cacao and then some pyure Stevie extract that's only Stevie in ingredients, shake the he'll out of it, it's so good. I got the Better Body Foods organic cocao powder it's all I could aquire, hopefully no cadmium or lead and not baked first lol. Really is delicious.
I liked your comments hammering the bad side of sugar and milk. However you pointed out that coco is heated and loses some nutrition. So much more nutrition is lost by heating the cacao butter. What kind of fat is cacao butter? Is it like coconut a water soluble saturated fat? Please advise. Why not just chew on the cacao beans to get the nutrition first hand?
I definitely would add a few teaspoons of organic raw cacao to my cup of coffee and sugar free non-dairy almond milk plus zero calorie sweetener to make sugar free healthy mocha.
You'll want to look for "cacao" which is the raw form of cocoa. Cocoa has been roasted and doesn't have all of it's antioxidants and minerals in tact. I'm not sure what Hershey's puts in theres but typically "cocoa" has added ingredients.
I have a question I'm very confused because I have cacao with brown colour and not sweet of course and I have the dark cacao , so is the two of them a good cacao , and the bad one is it the one that we put in the milk ??
but how do you fix raw cacao powder? What can you make with raw cacao and how to go about making it? That should be your next video! Btw I didn't have any raw cacao yet but I feel like loving you already! Thx for the vid
Oh I have tons of recipes! This is one of my faves: ruclips.net/video/UdtTBO5TykU/видео.html Flourless Chocolate Cake! Or these Sexy Maca Balls are amazing too: ruclips.net/video/06QBtX83414/видео.html
I bought organic cacao powder which not rows, but it has label that says it can expose to cadmium which causes cancer. What is your thoughts about that.
That's amazing! You really learn to appreciate the higher quality chocolate over time and it's actually not even desirable to go back to the other stuff afterwards!
@ Clemmo I was exactly the same, ate Lindt 90%. Now for about a year, I've been eating Ghirardelli's 100% unsweetened dark chocolate baking bar, no sugar and less net carbs. Taste wise, not much difference than Lindt 90%. Give it a try!
Do the lindt bars use real cacao, I'm confused because they say Cacoa on the front package but then it says Cocao butter, cocao mass in the ingredients.. werid
You can not get fresh, raw cacao beans in the U.S. unless you grow a cacao tree. Not recommended. They are only eaten fermented & roasted by the natives. The fruit, also unavailable in the U.S., is what is eaten raw. Not the seeds.
I would say try to incorporate 1 tsp - 1 tbsp, but don't worry if it's not an everyday thing. There are a ton of other ways to reap the benefits of the nutrients that are in cacao too by eating a wide variety of foods.
+Lisa Harrington For raw cacao I like Giddy Yoyo, Navitas Naturals and Organic Traditions. You can probably only get GY in Canada though -- not sure where you live.
Joyous Health thank you. Is it better to have raw cacao powder or nibs? I notice nibs are higher in fat but wonder if these are healthy fats which could help with anti ageing?
+Joyous Health Hi! Which brand do you use? I was going to purchase Sunfood & add it in my organic Garden of life Raw Fit protein shake made mix with organic fat free milk after I workout. Some claim that cacao powder is toxic cause of the heavy metal content. Just about everything we eat has naturally occurring heavy metal; it's just that some brands have more than others. I heard Navitas Naturals had high amounts of heavy metal in it so that's why I'm interested in Sunfoods
+Laura Brookes Depends on the way they do it - just like with fermenting/roasting tea coffee and other things - artisan/orthodox processed dark cocoa called natural is said to be better than Dutch processing which is the type that is not so good
You can put it in smoothies, homemade elixirs or hot chocolate. I love this recipe: www.joyoushealth.com/21246-blog-chocolate-almond-butter-milkshake You can buy raw cacao at most health food stores!
Raw cacao can be a little bitter depending on the brand so you'll definitely need to add something to sweeten it if your protein powder is not already a little sweet. Try some stevia or honey and then it will taste wonderful. Enjoy!
I'VE BEEN TRYING THIS SINCE WATCHING THE VIDEO THANK YOU FOR SHARING ❤PS I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR ACCENT SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE USUAL AMERICAN ACCENT ❤BE WELL MY FRIEND ❤
Guys. My advise is : STAY AWAY from DR ' clinics by living a healthy smart way. Eat well, enjoy life.as much as you can. Zero stress .Once you get sick, doctors know that they will make lots money with you.
I was having raw cacao every day and just learned about a lot of negative effects and about how toxic it is. I'm very confused by all the information about it that's out there. Meanwhile I'm stopping having it immediately until I know more.
patty 8873 theres a lot of mis fed information out there. Companies that try and fight back to keep us from doing better. Its always important too really dig deep in researching anything.
Np. I just notice how a lot will even say certain things even about b12 for instance, and then one set of doctors will say another. You can find this is true for so much out there, bc doctors will do research from who wants them to do it. So its not always a trustable source. Nut when you have plenty of doctors stating how some civilizations have a cup of coco a day and live longer bc of it. Thats when you really gotta think. Do your research. Who are the doctors putting out that info and who is the one sponsoring that research to have that info out. Same thing in politics honestly. If you notice how most bad and false info come out about a party you can find its really almost always by the opposing side. The news stations that are geared for this party or just looking to put out a story. Bc thats there ultimate job is ratings. Which is why they will only put on air what they feel will lead people to what they want them to think about it and cut the rest of the interview.
The "healthline" website evidences that studies are conflicted and inconclusive as to whether milk protein blocks antioxidant activity and/or their health benefits. It advises people not to worry about consuming dairy with antioxidant-rich foods. Go ahead and consume them together, as desired, it says.
I stock shelves at night, and a few weeks ago was a busted bag of cacao nibs. Out of curiosity I tried a small handful and it was awful. Not a fan. But then again, I take turmeric even though it tastes just awful.
Haha, straight up cacao nibs are not the tastiest that's for sure. They are extremely bitter. You really need to combine them with something else more sweet. Try my Sexy Maca Balls! Here's the yummy recipe: ruclips.net/video/06QBtX83414/видео.html
Joyous Health Thank you and I WILL watch and learn. Spent my first 4 decades eating god knows what all before I started eating for health, going gluten-free, all natural and organic the best decision I ever made!
Wait, at 2:30 you said that milk proteins block the absorption of antioxidants in the gut. Do you mean casein? Or whey? Or are you talking about specific amino acids? What antioxidants? All of the ones in cacao? Can you cite your source for this, please? I' really like to read more.
Hey Rick. Polyphenols are the main compounds affected by the casein and whey found in dairy products. Here's one study that offers up some additional information: www.worldcocoafoundation.org/wpcontent/uploads/files_mf/1388079715Gallo2013PostHarvestPolyphenolMilkProtein.pdf *Also check the references for additional studies! There are some great ones in there, but unfortunately, many of them aren't accessible for free. I hope that helps!

Haha, I cant unhear that now 🤣
You shouldn't have probably said that..."rock a cow" is all I'm hearing now😂😂😂😂😂😂
That bliss feeling is from the compound known as anandamide.
It's addictive. Dangerous.
So, which one has more nutritional benefits?
They sell Raw Cacao at Walmart - a huge one pound bag! I blend 2 tablespoons of it with soy milk and chocolate protein powder and it makes a great after workout shake!
EAT NO SOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

+Laura Brookes Depends on the way they do it - just like with fermenting/roasting tea coffee and other things - artisan/orthodox processed dark cocoa called natural is said to be better than Dutch processing which is the type that is not so good
+JB 6000 thank you
I don't bake. Where can I buy raw cacao and what can I put it in? Fruit shake?
You can put it in smoothies, homemade elixirs or hot chocolate. I love this recipe: www.joyoushealth.com/21246-blog-chocolate-almond-butter-milkshake
You can buy raw cacao at most health food stores!
Is it going to improve the taste of my raw whey protein powder if I add cocoa powder into it ? . And will it taste sweet or bitter ?
Raw cacao can be a little bitter depending on the brand so you'll definitely need to add something to sweeten it if your protein powder is not already a little sweet. Try some stevia or honey and then it will taste wonderful. Enjoy!
@@joyoushealth thank you so much, But I am asking about cocoa powder. does the same goes for cocoa powder as well or not ?
@@rajpanchal5345 Yes it does
@@joyoushealth Ok, Thank you so much for guiding me through it...It helped me a lot.
Raj Panchal my pleasure! Happy to help!
Is hersheys cocoa powder any good? 100% cocoa
Do your self a favor and check into using organic Stevia, from the leaves only, for your Cacao sweetener.

Guys. My advise is : STAY AWAY from DR ' clinics by living a healthy smart way. Eat well, enjoy life.as much as you can. Zero stress
.Once you get sick, doctors know that they will make lots money with you.
Koko sky stress is a big killer, doctors just want to put you on medication
Good to know that raw cocoa powder is super food. But where can we buy that ? I never seen it in any of the grocery or food store.
Most health food stores will carry it. Look for cacao not cocoa (notice the spelling). It's available online at amazon.com as well :)
Pardhasaradhi Andukuri you can get it in a white bag at walmart now
Love it on frozen fruit with a little heavy whipping cream and monk fruit!
I JUST started using monk fruit with raw cacao, amazing you mentioned this here
Hello... what is the best brand of raw cacao powder ... thank you for your informative videos please keep them coming...
I like Giddy Yoyo (Canadian brand), Navitas (American brand) and EcoIdeas
you are a good speaker :) thanks for the info
+iiism369 My pleasure! Thanks for watching.
Can I heat milk and drink. Raw cacao with it mixed
I was having raw cacao every day and just learned about a lot of negative effects and about how toxic it is. I'm very confused by all the information about it that's out there. Meanwhile I'm stopping having it immediately until I know more.
patty 8873 theres a lot of mis fed information out there. Companies that try and fight back to keep us from doing better. Its always important too really dig deep in researching anything.
Your comment is very wise. Blessings
Np. I just notice how a lot will even say certain things even about b12 for instance, and then one set of doctors will say another. You can find this is true for so much out there, bc doctors will do research from who wants them to do it. So its not always a trustable source. Nut when you have plenty of doctors stating how some civilizations have a cup of coco a day and live longer bc of it. Thats when you really gotta think. Do your research. Who are the doctors putting out that info and who is the one sponsoring that research to have that info out. Same thing in politics honestly. If you notice how most bad and false info come out about a party you can find its really almost always by the opposing side. The news stations that are geared for this party or just looking to put out a story. Bc thats there ultimate job is ratings. Which is why they will only put on air what they feel will lead people to what they want them to think about it and cut the rest of the interview.
patty 8873 I'll save you time: search for What the Health
Raw cacao seeds should be roasted before it has to be grinded and turned to cacao powder. Then it would be safe to consume.
love your wigs where do you get them from. Thanks
Thank you is good to hear and understand great.
The "healthline" website evidences that studies are conflicted and inconclusive as to whether milk protein blocks antioxidant activity and/or their health benefits. It advises people not to worry about consuming dairy with antioxidant-rich foods. Go ahead and consume them together, as desired, it says.
Great video. Very educating... thank you. ☺
Happy you enjoyed it :)
I stock shelves at night, and a few weeks ago was a busted bag of cacao nibs. Out of curiosity I tried a small handful and it was awful. Not a fan. But then again, I take turmeric even though it tastes just awful.
Haha, straight up cacao nibs are not the tastiest that's for sure. They are extremely bitter. You really need to combine them with something else more sweet. Try my Sexy Maca Balls! Here's the yummy recipe: ruclips.net/video/06QBtX83414/видео.html

Thank you and I WILL watch and learn. Spent my first 4 decades eating god knows what all before I started eating for health, going gluten-free, all natural and organic the best decision I ever made!
Could I eat cocoa and cacao the same day both in low amounts...let's say about 1 tablespoon each?
Yup absolutely! Providing you aren't too sensitive to caffeine :)
Lovely video thanks !
Wait, at 2:30 you said that milk proteins block the absorption of antioxidants in the gut. Do you mean casein? Or whey? Or are you talking about specific amino acids? What antioxidants? All of the ones in cacao? Can you cite your source for this, please? I' really like to read more.
Hey Rick. Polyphenols are the main compounds affected by the casein and whey found in dairy products. Here's one study that offers up some additional information: www.worldcocoafoundation.org/wpcontent/uploads/files_mf/1388079715Gallo2013PostHarvestPolyphenolMilkProtein.pdf
*Also check the references for additional studies! There are some great ones in there, but unfortunately, many of them aren't accessible for free. I hope that helps!
Where can I buy it
I had no idea about milk proteins affecting the absorption of antioxidants. Great video :)
Tisha Riman Thanks! Same goes for tea/coffee and berries.
Joyous Health What about soy? or other nutmilks?
What about rice milk.. It has the least amount of proteins...
Why does hersheys say 100% cacao, but the on the back it says cocoa powder processed with alkalai??
thanks alot great info
How much teaspoons of raw cacao powder should I consume per day?
bangs. actually look good on her
Well she is bangin hot lolol
I enjoyed your video. I love eating dark chocolate bars that are 55% to 85% cocoa, but I don't eat cacao very much though.
Thanks James! Cacao is really great to incorporate into your baking or smoothies!
is it safe to drink 10 tsp of raw cocao every day? i put it in a smoothie that equals to 2CUP.
+buttagal That is A LOT! I am wondering if you are kidding? I wouldn't have that much personally.
+Joyous Health no, i am not kidding. lol. it tastes really good and almost addictive like. i'll cut back little bit. :P
This is so interesting, and very true .
