Mood Booster

What about caffeine?

Ok, cocoa powder still contains caffeine, about 68 mg per ounce (28 g). Our serving of 2 tablespoons (10 g) in the shake equals about 25 mg of caffeine per serving. Compared to our regular cup of coffee with 95 mg is not quite as bad!

Bottom line this is a great way to start your day, full of nutrients, low in carbs and with our desired amount of good fats!

Vivica Menegaz Creator of TheNourishedCaveman.com I was born in Italy, at a time when small grocery stores still existed. I grew up buying veggies at the “verduriere” and meat at the “macellaio”. For the first 6 years of my life my parents had a restaurant and hotel in a small resort in the mountains of Northern Italy. There I spent a lot of time playing in the kitchen, and in the pantries. I visited herds of cows out on pasture and drank fresh milk, and ate cheese made over a wood fire. More posts by Vivica Menegaz
