Chocolate can be a great treat and a decadent snack and feel like nourishing luxury to your soul. And no surprise. Chocolate affects our mood-hormones; serotonin, endorphins and phenylethylamine. 100% cacao is high in antioxidants, making it a healthier choice when you want to treat your self. Here are some specific health benefits of cacao, which you'll get from this smoothie:

Serotonin is our antidepressant hormone, the one that makes us feel good, emotionally stabile and calm.
Endorphins make us feel enthusiastic and powerful. These are also the hormones that are released when you exercise.
Phenylethylamine is a mood enhancer.
High in antioxidants, the raw cacao is considered a Superfood and contains a number of essential minerals; such as potassium, copper and magnesium, flavonoids and several vitamins; including vitamin B1, B2, D, and E.
