Our adaptogenic salted caramel cacao was developed with the intention of creating a rejuvenate tonic. Ashwagandha has traditionally been used in ayurvedic medicine to help relieve tiredness, help the body adapt to stress and support the nervous system. It is filling enough to be enjoyed as a snack, and is perfect as an afternoon pick-me-up treat. This recipe can even be served as a nourishing dessert, as it is deliciously sweet, creamy and decadent.
