Cacao and Avocados
Researchers have shown that eating the right types of chocolate can help boost brain and cardiovascular function.(1) We prefer organic, raw cacao and have found that mixing it with avocados creates a culinary delight is made! No wonder because avocados are brain-boosting and heart-supporting fruit that is full of healthy fat. Avocados are one of the healthiest foods on the planet, and are filled with a significant amount of nutrients including:
- Vitamins A, B, C, E, and K
- Copper
- Iron
- Magnesium
- Phosporus
- Potassium
In fact, you would need to eat two or three bananas to meet the potassium content of just one avocado! When including avocados in your meal plan, remember that they are in the fruit family. The United States have all but banished avocados to salads and tacos, but in most countries, they are used quite regularly in desserts. Their mild flavor, texture and creamy consistency when mixed properly provide an excellent addition to many favorite treats – and is a staple in our chocolate puddin’ recipe!
Dr. Z’s Chocolate Avocado Puddin’
- 3 organic Hass avocados, peeled and pitted
- ¼ to 1 cup organic canned full-fat, unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon organic pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup raw organic cacao powder
- ¼ cup chocolate protein powder (optional)
- 2 dropperfuls vanilla-flavored liquid stevia
- Food processor
- Spatula
- Place the avocados in the bowl of a food processor. Add ¼ cup of the coconut milk, vanilla, cacao powder, protein powder (if using), and stevia.
- Blend until smooth, making sure to scrape down the sides of the processor several times with a silicone spatula.
- Add additional coconut milk as needed to create the desired consistency.
- Serve immediately; keep any leftovers covered in the fridge for up to three days.
Pro-Tip – We recommend using a glass-bodied blender so essential oils won’t discolor the plastic. If you use a Vitamix or other plastic blender you may find the EOs stain the plastic. You can help avoid this by adding essential oil in the last step or in each cup individually.
Chocolate for Rest and Calm?
A great deal of research shows that the active ingredient in chocolate – cocoa could help alleviate a stressful evening when combined with these 9 other superfoods. (2)(3)
This is most likely because:
- Cocoa contains LOTS of magnesium. Magnesium calms the nervous system and most Americans are deficient in magnesium.
- Cocoa is high in tryptophan (the same “sleepy” amino acid in turkey).
- Cocoa does NOT contain caffeine, like most people think.
Nope. It’s theobromine, which doesn’t impact the nervous system like caffeine does. Now, here’s how to harness the soothing benefits of cocoa, turning them into a sleepy-time elixir to knock insomnia’s lights out… You combine cocoa with these 100% organic ingredients:
- Maximum strength turmeric
- Ginger
- Reishi mushroom
- Lemon balm extract
- Turkey tail mushroom
- Piperine
- Acacia
- Coconut milk
- Cinnamon
