It’s time to kiss your favorite Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino goodbye! Once you taste this delicious, NUTRIENT-DENSE, superfood-packed smoothie, you won’t be able to go back!
Benefits Of This Superfood Shake
Antioxidant Rich
Raw cacao powder/nibs are a natural source of powerful antioxidants and anti-inflammatories. A diet rich in antioxidant-filled foods has been linked to longevity and a decreased risk of illness and disease.
Protein
This frappuccino is packed with protein! With hemp milk, almond butter and pea protein you will be getting a perfect blend of amino acids. When you get enough protein, your body stays full for longer, which means less appetite and more control over cravings throughout the day. Protein is also essential for fuel and rebuilding muscle and keeping your body running at optimum levels.
Reduce Stress
It’s true – chocolate makes you happy. Raw cacao may also lower cortisol levels, lower blood pressure and improve overall cardiovascular function. Dr. Mercola calls chocolate “the new antianxiety drug.”
Anti-Aging
Raw cacao has been called the “perfect food” by cultures in central America. As a whole food, raw cacao is packed with over 300 phytochemicals, vitamins and minerals. Honey is called one of nature’s “purest foods” and contains 27 minerals, 22 amino acids and over 5,000 live enzymes. Combined, these make the perfect anti-aging duo.

Raw cacao may also leave you with with better mental function. Almonds have been linked to brain health and may also help to relieve headaches.
