Ceremonial Cacao Recipe
Ceremonial Cacao will open your heart in ways you have not yet experienced, taking you on a journey within to discover new depths of your being.
Ceremonial Cacao
What a godsend! This beautiful heart opening powder blows my mind every time. Relaxing the mind, the physical body, the emotional body, as well as energising the spirit and allowing you to drop deeper into the experience of this very present moment.
I have Hot Cacao most nights, it helps me to let go of the day, any stresses I'm holding onto, helps me sleep better and feel 10x better. Cacao will give you what you need, I usually start with cacao porridge to energise me and help me focus. I finish the day with Hot Cacao to relax me and help me sleep. It's also an amazing addition to smoothies, shakes, and healthy desserts/snacks.

Hot Cacao Drink Recipe
Ingredients
1/2 cup of milk of choice or water, I use almond or coconut milk from Mylk Made. Dairy products NOT recommended.
20-30g of Seleno Health Ceremonial Cacao Paste
Order Yours from Seleno Health and use code MONIQUE10 for 10% off
1/2 tsp sweetener, I use raw honey (amount depends on your sweet tooth but remember the bitterness activates your taste buds and you will receive the medicine on a much deeper level so don’t oversweeten)
Pinch of salt (I use himalayan pink salt to enhance the flavours)
Optional additions:
1/8 tsp cinnamon
Pinch of nutmeg
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Medicinal mushroom powders
Vanilla
Coconut oil
Get creative and play with different flavours.
Method
Add all ingredients to saucepan, stirring until hot and cacao paste is melted (be careful not to boil over, speaking from experience).
Remove saucepan from heat, you can serve as is or add cacao mixture to blender and blend for about 3-5 seconds to combine, creating a much smoother, creamier texture.
Serve in your favourite mug and Enjoy!
Note*
Mylk Made Nut Milk Bases ~ I started using Mylk Made products as I’ve been going through SO MUCH almond milk and I really wasn’t feeling good about all the cartons I was putting in the garbage not able to recycle them and I LOVE MYLK MADE!!
Benefits of Mylk Made
Sustainable & Eco-friendly
No waste, make it up as you need it
Different flavour each day (usually I need to finish a carton before opening another, not anymore)
More Affordable!! Savings of at least $1 per litre depending on your option.
EVEN MORE DELICIOUS!! The flavours are so much more delicious and fresh in taste.
Support local!! Mylk Made is based in Rangiora NZ
Another thing I accidentally found out is when I accidentally boil over my cacao because you know (mum life) usually it tastes horrible and burnt, with Mylk made IT DOESNT!! The flavour holds and is still absolutely delicious.
Lastly, you don’t need to reblend the cacao, you just blend you Mylk to begin with and it combines with the cacao so beautifully. I absolutely love this new way of Cacao
Cacao Recommendations
Seleno Health Ceremonial Cacao Paste
Highly recommend this cacao, its an NZ local business who go to Peru themselves and work with the community to harvest this incredible cacao. I met Corin and Sally at the Lunasa festival in Golden Bay and loved the product so much that I decided to I wanted to work with them and offer their ceremonial cacao and use it in our ceremonies that we offer in our monthly workshops.
