Been doing cacao for many years. Two Tbs cacao nibs or powder in morning smoothie, sprinkled on kefir and fruit for afternoon pick me up. It is a wonderful energizer (no caffeine in a.m. for me, too much of a punch and cannot do the let-down when it wears off). Great mood enhancer. Just an all-around wonderful tonic for mind, body and spirit. Please do it!!!!! 😀
