Superfoods For Life Cacao

Are you craving chocolate? Go ahead, give in! Cacao--raw chocolate--often referred to as "food of the gods" is high in antioxidants. It is also an excellent source of magnesium, iron, chromium, manganese, zinc, and copper. A good source of omega-6 fatty acids and rich in heart-healthy oleic acids, it will boost your mood, improve cognition and help lessen stress! Sounds too good to be true, but it isn't! As author Matt Ruscigno explains, this hot superfood has powerful benefits. Then Matt gives you what you really want--recipes for chocolate! Superfoods for Life, Cacao contains 75 recipes for sweet and savory cacao recipes--from main dishes to desserts--including Huitlacoche-Chocolate Empanadas, Cocoa Buffalo Tempura Vegetables, Dolmathes with Currant-Chocolate Rice and Cacao Tzatziki."Superfoods for Life: Cacao is a gorgeous, fun, and fascinating book. It is chalk full of fresh perspectives on a food that is often thought of as little more than a candy bar. If you think chocolate is exclusively for dessert, be prepared to expand your bittersweet horizons. This book deserves a place on the shelf of every culinary enthusiast!" - Brenda Davis and Vesanto Melina, co-authors of Becoming Vegan: Comprehensive Edition (2014) and the award-winning, Becoming Vegan: Express Edition (2013)"Dietitian Matt Ruscigno, a respected authority on diet and chronic disease, shows readers how chocolate--yes, chocolate!--can help prevent heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and dementia. There is no hype here--just the kind of solid research and science-based advice that Matt is known for. And wow--the recipes! There are cookies and cake, of course, but the show-stoppers are healthy, savory dishes like Velvety Chocolate Vegetable Tarts and Chocolate Marinara Sauce, and a chocolate-infused guacamole. This is healthy eating at its best: simple, incredibly delicious, and fun." - Virginia Messina, author of Vegan for Life and Vegan for Her"I knew cacao was both delicious and super nutritious. But what I didn't know was how it could be so extensively used to create such a wide diversity of amazing recipes with the depth and texture to please even the most finicky connoisseur.

And best of all are the eclectic recipes, ranging from chocolate pizza to cocoa goulash!" - Sharon Palmer, R.D.N., The Plant-Powered Dietitian(tm) and author of Plant-Powered for Life

Can, so-called, 'superfoods' really help you be healthier and feel better? Good question. Author, Donna Davidson, says, 'I'm often asked things like, "Can learning how to make chocolate recipes and homemade chocolates from a costlier raw, organic version of chocolate really be so much better for you?" Or, "Can Cacao and other so-called 'superfoods' seriously contribute to a low cholesterol diet or help someone trying to achieve weight loss, or battle debilitating health problems?" Actually, that's exactly what happened for me. Today, 5 years on from my first tentative superfoods 'experiments', I'm healthier and feeling better than I had felt for years, in my 'pre-superfoods' days. And I'm not alone.' Here are just 3 stories from ordinary people trying out superfoods for themselves: Annemarie: Nick, my husband, has been using the green smoothie powder and is really noticing the benefits - he is a landscaper so needs the energy - plus he has sinus problems and this has really helped with that as well. Brilliant. Sigrid: Still going strong with the smoothies and have one most days. Really like them and I think they are helping me cope with the stresses of my current life - very sick husband, work, coping with ten staff, visitors and the rest of the daily grind. Michele M: I am having a smoothie every morning and my Green Smoothie Shot and the great thing is, I have been able to stop taking the Laxsol tablets that I have had to take for years. I decided to stop taking them straight away because they aren't life threatening (just uncomfortable if this didn't work) to see if the Chia seeds and Green Smoothie Shot made any difference immediately. I'm pleased to say it has and I'm (as) 'regular as clock-work' without medication... wahoo! (But) Now for the extra good news, I have lost 2kgs in just under 2 weeks of using the Chia Seeds, Cacao Powder and Green Smoothie Shot - so the products are obviously cleansing my body well. I'm using all natural 100% pure coconut water in my smoothies and a frozen banana which is awesome. Thank you so much for your recommendations and supplying such great products. 'These stories are typical of the feedback we get from people open enough to give superfoods a try. Over the past 5 years, I discovered a talent for persuading superfood sceptics to give them a try, by simply relating my own story. Almost all report experiencing the same increased sense of well-being and improved mental acuity that I'd found; while others also gained relief from persistent and debilitating health issues - which I similarly achieved after adding superfoods into my regular diet (not changing anything else in my diet at the time) by the simple means of drinking a delicious green smoothie every morning.' Donna and Kay both agreed that Cacao would be the perfect superfood for book #1 - because everyone loves chocolate right? Cacao is Nature's healthy and delicious superfood chocolate you can enjoy even on a weight loss or low cholesterol diet! And healthy, or certainly healthier, ways to enjoy chocolate have got to be a great addition to any chocolate lover's recipe book collection. So, with Kay cracking the whip and Donna creating, making, baking, eating and perfecting the recipes, this 'Discover Superfood Series #1: 21 Best Cacao Recipes' was born. Kay says, 'Just try some of these wonderful Cacao (natural organic chocolate) recipes for yourself and I think you'll love them as much as we do! Enjoyed in moderation, (for sadly, you can even eat too much raw organic chocolate) these 21 best cacao recipes will be a lot healthier and better for you than the sugar and chemical-filled, commercial chocolate products at your local supermarket.' This book (and the rest of the Discover Superfoods series) is designed to be an easy introduction to superfoods; simple recipes, easy to make, absolutely delicious. This book is perfect for both 'superfood newbies', or existing fans looking for some n
