Benefits of drinking cocoa.
I love both, but I mostly replaced coffee with cocoa. Here are some reasons:
-You dont get jittery of cocoa.
-Neither do you get withdrawal headaches.
-It is relatively unprocessed and much more palatable in that state compared to coffee. Roasted ground coffee without additions is less palatable (though I love it too) than a drink made of cocoa powder which still tastes pretty much like dark chocolate. I just bring a tbsp of cocoa powder per cup of water to a boil and drink unsweetened... no extra calories.
-Full of antioxidants just like coffee.
-Why drink coffee all the time when you can drink something chocolatey, anyway?
-Cocoa is coffee for little children? Well then I'll be a little child because they get the best
-Cocoa is rich in iron so it's great to boost your iron. Coffee blocks iron absorption so it's a really bad habit to have if you're anemic or anemia prone. I also eat an orange alongside my cocoa to boost iron uptake (by vitamin C and fructose in oranges).
