Mucuna Hot Chocolate

Name: Mucuna Hot Chocolate
Prep time: 8 - 10 minutes

A potent, mood elevating elixir, this hot chocolate is made with raw cacao and Mucuna pruriens. Raw cacao is well recognised as a mood-boosting food due to the feelgood phytonutrients and, even better, it’s a medicine delivery system which means that anything you combine with it is driven deeper into the body. In this case it’s Mucuna, affectionately known around Soaring Free HQ as Mucuna Matata (means ‘no worries’ for the rest of your days). This potent plant boosts dopamine in the system and is an effective antidepressant!
