Why I Eat Chocolate EVERYDAY (Mental Health Benefits)

[@krystalarielyoga]

I am a chocolate fiend! Dark chocolate is my jam. My favorite is this brand I found in Mexico called “Culto” they sweeten with raw honey. 🍯

I love that! We have this brand in the Pacific Northwest called Honey Mama that's also sweetened with honey... So good! Do you feel like the Mexican chocolate has a different flavor in general? Like Mexican hot chocolate?

@@jesszadra yaaaas girl. I need to take you to a cacao ceremony here. During one of the ceremonies, we were with a shaman from the huichol lineage. We toasted the cacao beans, peeled them together as part of the ritual and made the most delicious drink as we sat by the fire. They add chile to enhance the flavor and absorption of the cacao benefits. It’s one thing to buy a hot chocolate at Starbucks or a local coffee shop but when you do it in nature and as part of a ritual, everything tastes more magical.
