Mineral-rich Menstrual Drink with Raw Cacao

There’s a reason why women crave chocolate especially around their menstrual cycle. Cacao beans are rich in minerals including iron, magnesium, calcium, and and potassium, which can get depleted in the first days of bleeding.

Women’s blood sugar levels can also drop on the first day or two, and you may feel yourself looking for a cookie or a candy bar.

Your body is telling you what you need. Give it exactly what it needs with high quality ingredients that satisfy.

Try this Mineral-rich Menstrual drink. Made with raw cacao powder - not the same as cocoa powder - it can help replenish your body, energize without overstimulating, and soothe your heart.

Mix into cup of hot water:
- 1 Tablespoon raw Cacao powder
- Pinch of Himalayan Pink Salt
- 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon Ashwagandha powder
- Maple syrup to taste
- Teaspoon ghee (click here for recipe)

Take it easy on yourself those first few days. Take your warm cup in your hands and let yourself star off into space or daydream looking out the window.

Nothing is forever. Enjoy the season.
