Raw Chocolate Orange Smoothie

I am drinking one as I type this and it’s so outrageously good, I think I’ve reached Nirvana. The reason? Gnosis Cacao Powder has to be the best raw chocolate powder I’ve ever tasted.  It’s the real deal, free of any fillers, and truly raw!

The synergy of orange and chocolate is rich and uplifting and you’ll find yourself with a massive boost of happiness.  I think that’s all we’re really looking for! This is also perfect after a hard workout, as raw cacao is super high in magnesium which relaxes smooth muscle tissue.
