Delicious and Low in Carbs!
I've been adding cacao to my coffee and making everything from homemade chocolates and mug-cakes for a while. What initially attracted me to Viva's cacao powder was its price, packaging and being lower in carbs than the one I was using. I'm enjoying the taste of this. It's richly delicious! Been experimenting more and more with this as well as combining with cocoa too for extra chocolatey goodness. Xylitol brings out the flavor in this more in my perspective, though higher on glycemic index than stevia or erythritol. Overall it's freaking good stuff for relatively low dietary cost. Basically, subtracting the fiber, it's 2 grams carbs per gram protein and 1/2 gram fat. The MAIN thing I still use cacao for is my morning coffee, alongside some grass-fed butter and/or coconut oil. Using a small battery powered hand-mixer gets this frothed up to the power packed punch of a coffee shop mocha! It's gotten to the point I can prepare this before fully waking up! Basic mug-cake with this is 2 tbsp mixed with an egg, couple drops of vanilla, dash of salt, mixed well, adding pinch of baking soda last, then zapping in an oil-sprayed mug or bowl for 1.5 minutes. Play with the measurements, add nuts, etc. It's really not too shabby for a quick cake! Sometimes I find myself bragging to friends I can bake a tasty mocha cake in under two minutes. Because I can :) Easy to measure, easy to use, rich, smooth, delicious! Large bag so it lasts a while. Then again, I'm determined to create cacao low carb ice cream and will probably go through these a lot quicker LOL
