Shakti Cacao Powder was formulated by Dr. Lala Naidu in the kitchen as she wanted to enjoy a satisfying hot cacao drink that was chocolatey and creamy, but without added milk powders and sweeteners. Shakti is a Sanskrit term that is used to describe the female principle of divine energy, especially when personified as the supreme deity.

Pure cacao contains more antioxidants than blueberries and is rich in minerals. It contains iron, potassium, calcium, zinc, copper, and manganese. Cacao also contains flavonoids that are believed to have cancer-fighting properties. Shatavari is a premiere female tonic herb used to support reproductive function and libido for both men and women and is often combined with Ashwagandha one of the most well-studied adaptogens used to counter stress and is a known reproductive, endurance, and immune-boosting tonic. Ginger and Cinnamon are both warming herbs that aid in digestion, and cardamom offers its exotic aroma and own digestive-enhancing qualities.

How to use

• Shakti Cacao Powder is deeply satisfying enjoyed as a hot cacao whisked into warm milk, it blends real-well, or try adding the powder to chai or tea lattes. One tablespoon added to smoothies or protein shakes adds a nice chocolatey flavor and creaminess.

• Or change up your breakfast – stir it into oatmeal along with almond butter, drizzle with coconut oil or ghee, sprinkle with cacao nibs and cinnamon powder, and a pinch sea salt.
