Cacao versus Coffee
Are there those of you out there who have used cacao to successfully wean yourself off of coffee? Are you now free of the coffee habit and currently consuming cacao on a regular basis in place of coffee? What differences do you notice in the effects? How do you consume the cacao and how much of it do you consume? Thanks for the input.

I had the same thought this morning. I thought it might be a good idea to use Cacao strategically to get completely free of coffee. Then reduce Cacao to a relatively low level or make it an infrequent indulgence. Good question.

Exactly what I was thinking, Telefunken. So I came here to get some inspiration.

I'd stay away from both.

I understand the similarities between the two but no waaay is cacao stronger (or harder stuff) than coffee as a stimulant. If I would have coffee in the afternoon I wouldn't sleep till 1-2am and then not very sound but I can drink a chocolate smoothie with heaps of cacao in it right before bedtime and no problems sleeping at all, some people might be more sensitive sure but it definitely hasn't got nearly as much caffeine than coffee has.

sounds amazing Jack. How do you brew nettles? What source? Are you talking about Stinging Nettles or other?
Thanks!

I've used cacao to ween myself off of cola before- avocado/cacao puddings, cacao mylkshakes etc. I was using a few large spoons of cacao per drink (big glasses, pint sized) plus a drizzle of two of agave. It definitely helped at the time! The taste combo of cacao and agave is very reminiscent of melted sugar in coffee or hot chocolate :)

I see ... so it's just an addictive substance for you. But still the negative effects for you are not as bad as coffee, right?

wonderful. Trader Joe's has good prices too. And they are only a few blocks away from me so this is great.
I certainly believe you. I have just only seen them steamed or boiled at TJs so this is especially exciting to me that they have nice bags of raw ones to buy.
it was me being incredulous in a good way.
THIS IS SUCH A GOOD ONE
I've eaten them raw (same brand) and they're good:)
Yes if you show up
Congrats, very proud of you.
What do you mean they are not raw.

I have like, no words for how awesome this is.
Try this Doreen. I found out about it when I worked at Jubbs longevity. There is absolutely no aftertaste and a bottle lasts forever. I've been using it for years. Lucky Vitamin has amazing prices on many things too.

This day sounds amazing. It is making me want to be more fruity.
And they are raw?? I feel like I have seen them at TJ's but for some reason I did not think they were raw. This is exciting. That sounds so good right now.

I was at my friends
tonight and she had a pack and I opened one up with a nutcracker, omg. Is it a nut? Its so meaty and you don't have to cook or boil. I was so happy. I took them with me to my new house and I love them.
