Mix (4) with herbal coffee mixed with coconut milk.

Add (6) for additional sweetness

Voila! Your final product is ready!

Why Teeccino?

I love it because it is caffeine free and non-acidic. We need to balance our acidic levels. These days, it is far too common to be overly acidic given the animal products, white sugar and soft drinks many people consume.  Teeccino tastes amazing (arguably better than some coffee) and helps restore alkaline balance.

Why Coconut Milk?

Coconut milk is rich in lauric acid, a medium-chain fatty acid, and may also reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels, which lowers heart disease and stroke risks.

Why Raw Cacao?

Raw cacao is non-alkalinized. Alkalinization reduces the amount of flavanols in cacao. Flavanols is a powerful antioxidant.  According to a study in the “Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry” published in 2011, cacao may lower LDL, the bad cholesterol, levels.

Cacao also contains high level of magnesium, helping your bone health, and high level of vitamin C. However, processing of chocolate will kill the vitamins.

Most importantly, cacao contains anandamide  that helps you feel good and makes you feel like you’re falling in love!
