The Bitter The Better

When you're being bitter that's bad. But did you know that there's something bitter that is actually good for you? Something that's edible and has tons of health benefits for you? I'm talking about Cacao Nibs yo!

Cacao nibs are cacao beans that has been hulled then roasted. This is where your favorite chocolate bar starts. That sweet and creamy chocolate that you love to indulge especially when you're feeling blue. Or ladies, when you are PMSing. *wink wink* Ugh! So good. Mmmm! But stop right there. Don't think about it too much because you just might go and grab that bar even if it's not cheat day yet. 

So the next time that you crave for some chocolate go eat some Cacao nibs. Why? They are less processed which is why they are the healthier choice. This tiny but mighty morsels are packed with antioxidants even more than red wine. It also controls your appetite therefore helping lose excess body weight. It's also good for the cardiovascular system as it dilates blood vessels, reduces blood clotting, and regulates heartbeat and blood pressure. Thus lowers the risk for stroke and heart attack. It also acts as an anti-depressant (Where was this when I was young and naive? Haha) and balances brain chemistry. It also helps you focus and maintain alertness. Cacao nibs can also detoxify the liver. Find out more of Cacao nibs' health benefits here: http://www.healthysmoothiehq.com/chocolate-superfood-smoothie-recipe

When eaten correctly and incorporated in a healthy diet you can reap the health benefits this superfood has to offer. It is bitter and nutty in flavor. You can add cacao nibs to oats, blend it with your smoothie, or munch on them with trail mix. 

I added 1/2 a tablespoon to a cup of cooked whole grain rolled oats with some banana.

I was lucky enough to find them here (Just this month.) So far I can only buy from one grocery store and there's only one brand. I have Roasted Cacao Nibs by Cacao de Davao. I forgot how much this costs but it was either 160 or 180 pesos for a 150g bag.
