Mixed Fruit Bowl with Cacao Nibs

by

This is the perfect treat on a hot summer day! Cacao nibs are bitter on their own, but the perfect combination with something sweet! Cacao is the raw version of cocoa, and is known as a superfood that can help alleviate stress, improve heart function, and help reduce cataracts. It’s also known to help alleviate depression. After all, who doesn’t feel better with chocolate?!

Nutrients: vitamins A, C, B6, folate, potassium & magnesium.
