Coffee Replacement: Make Ceremonial Grade Cacao at Home
Coffee Replacement: Make Ceremonial Grade Cacao at Home

What’s ceremonial-grade Cacao? It’s a plant medicine that’s been drunk for thousands of years by the Olmecs, the Mayans, the Toltecs, the Aztecs, the Incas, and other cultures. It’s known as a heart opener and has cracked mine wide open to opportunities and the potential of my life. What makes ceremonial-grade cacao different from modern chocolate? Ceremonial-grade cacao is grown using heirloom varieties of cacao. It’s also supported by indigenous communities and the elders who teach and carry on the ancient wisdom of cacao in countries like Guatemala and Ecuador.  For me, it’s also important to support Latine brands like Cacao Laboratory that honor ancient traditions and sustainable farming practices.

Sweetpotato Vegan Date Dulce De Leche with Chia Pudding For National Sweetpotato Month 
Sweetpotato Vegan Date Dulce De Leche with Chia Pudding For National Sweetpotato Month 

I am excited to share my Vegan Date Dulce De Leche with Chia Pudding in partnership with North Carolina Sweetpotatoes for National Sweetpotato Month. 

This vegan dulce de has a deep caramel flavor from the dates, earthiness from sweetpotatoes, and a bit of spiciness from the ginger and cinnamon. Traditional dulce de leche is made by simmering a can of sweetened condensed milk on the stove for hours like my mom did when I was a little girl. Making dulce de leche with dates and sweetpotatoes takes hours out of the process and is vegan, refined sugar, and dairy-free. Use the vegan date dulce de leche to top your chia pudding, dip your fresh fruit, or eat it by the spoonful with the fridge door open.
