Antioxidant-Packed: Cacao Nibs & Cacao Powder
Next, to further enhance the chocolate-y flavor of this shake, cacao nibs and cacao powder are added to give it an extra punch of chocolate flavor! Cacao nibs and cacao powder have no sugar, so are a great alternative for chocolate lovers.
Not only are these two ingredients major flavor boosters, but they also offer impressive health benefits. Cacao nibs and cacao powder are rich in flavanols – which are powerful antioxidants that help reduce inflammation, promote a healthy immune system, and fight free radicals to support greater health and vitality. This recipe is therefore perfect for satisfying your chocolate cravings, while giving you a nourishing boost!
Energy & Mood-Boosting Supplement: MCT Oil
To add even more richness and creaminess to this Mint Chip Shake, a popular supplement called MCT oil is incorporated into the recipe. Not only will this coconut-derived, nutrient-dense oil bring a silkiness to the drink, but it will also provide you with energy, as it's a great form of healthy fats!
MCT oil is quickly absorbed by your body to be used for energy, rather than being stored. So this particular ingredient makes this shake perfect for when your feeling those mid-day blues, or just need an extra bit of energy throughout your day. Research shows that MCT oil might also be beneficial for supporting optimal brain and heart health, so try out this shake to see how it supports you!
