Activate your vibrant vitality with this unique combination of ceremonial cacao and healing herbs that support endurance and stamina. The taste of maca blends with cacao to create a malty and almost sweet experience in your mouth. Due to the vasodilating and gentle cardiac stimulant properties of the ceremonial cacao, it acts as an optimal delivery mechanism for the healing herbs that we've carefully selected.

Each cup contains a full daily dose of maca (3400 mg), which is known for boosting energy levels and stamina as well as balancing hormones and reproductive health. Each cup also contains a fully daily dose of ashwagandha (450mg), which is known for reducing stress, anxiety, and fatigue. Turmeric and black pepper also serve to reduce inflammation. With regular cacao ceremony you may notice an inner glow emanating from you :)

How To Prepare Cacao

Step 1 - Combine between 20 cacao discs (0.8oz) to 25 cacao discs (1.0oz) with a touch of sweetener (or drink pure)

Step 2 - Add 3/4 cup (6oz) hot water, tea, or mylk ~ 180°F

Step 3 - Use a blender or electric frother to mix for 10 seconds. This creates much better texture than just stirring.

Serving Size

For daily use, we recommend about 1oz of cacao or 20-25 discs. It is safe to have two servings per day.

If you tend to be more sensitive (or if you're on SSRIs), start small with 5-10 discs first and see how you feel before increasing to 25 discs.

It is possible to enjoy a few discs of cacao at a time by letting them melt on your tongue instead of blending them into a drink.

To receive the health benefits, minerals, energizing effect, and mood lift, we do recommend the standard ~25 discs serving size.

Ingredients

MACA FROM PERU
A Peruvian radish that has been used by indigenous Andean peoples for thousands of years for increased stamina and balancing of hormones. Our maca is grown on a spring-fed family farm at 13,000 feet elevation and is a custom tri-color blend of red, black, and yellow varieties. One cup of cacao delivers a full daily dose of maca (3400 mg)!

ASHWAGANDHA FROM INDIA
An adaptogenic Aryuvedic herb that rejuvenates the body system, especially helpful for relieving stress, anxiety, depression, and inflammation. It also has reported anti-cancer benefits and can increase muscle mass and strength while lowering unhealthy cholesterol. One cup of this cacao delivers a full daily dose of ashwagandha (450mg)! Note, Ashwagandha is not recommended during pregnancy.

CACAO BUTTER FROM TANZANIA
There is so much Maca and Ashwagandha in Vibrant Vitality that we augment the already-present cacao butter for a maximally smooth texture. Cacao butter is one of the healthiest fats, rich in antioxidants to fight inflammation, as well as fatty acids that support brain & heart health. Cacao butter also moods and lowers blood pressure; reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and stroke; and serves as the carrier vehicle that delivers all ingredients into your cells and tissues.

TURMERIC FROM INDIA
A relative of ginger, the "Golden Spice" has potent anti-inflammatory properties and helps to alleviate depression, diabetes, cancer, and viral infections. It may also be effective in delaying or even reversing many brain diseases and age-related decreases in brain function, as well as arthritis.

BLACK PEPPER FROM INDONESIA
Black pepper enhances the absorption of curcumin in turmeric by up to 2,000%. It also contains the bioactive compound piperine, which has been shown to enhance the activity of digestive enzymes in the gut, relieve nausea and headaches, and reduce inflammation. It may also improve memory and cognitive skills, as it has effects on brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a powerful protein that stimulates new brain cell production.

Formulated as an ideal coffee substitute, to replace the jitters and crashes with natural stamina.

My interest in maca in particular came from my days of bicycle touring, when I realized that I could travel longer distances with less effort on days that I had my Mighty Maca chocolate bar, and notably more so than any of my other chocolate bars. As I formulated this enhanced cacao, I really pushed the limits and added complementary superfoods to ensure that you get full daily doses in an everyday cup of cacao. The resulting enhanced cacao is even more potent than my original Mighty Maca chocolate bar!

Strengthening, supportive, and awakening by connecting to the root, sacral, and solar plexus centers!

The Ashwagandha in this enhanced blend can help create security and safety within as this important herb is known to help with anxiety, depression, exhaustion, and poor muscle tone, helping the root center feel supported. The Maca can help rejuvenate reproductive health; it can even increase sexual desire for women and aid in hormonal balance for both sexes awakening and activating the sacral center. The turmeric and black pepper can bring aid and stimulation to the solar plexus center by improving digestive functions and even liver functions!

Over 60,000 customers love and trust Ora Cacao!

    Great cacao with wonderful health benefits!

    I found this cacao to be quite beneficial while I was going through menopause. I was experiencing High cortisol issues accompanied by sleepless nights. But adding this to my daily coffee helped ease a lot of the symptoms. The ashwagandha ingredient helps bring peaceful sleep and that is golden.

Answers to Frequent Health Questions

What is Vibrant Vitality ceremonial cacao?

Vibrant Vitality is a botanical ceremonial cacao blend with five organic adaptogens and superfoods: tri-color maca from Peru, ashwagandha, turmeric, black pepper, and added cacao butter. Maca is a Peruvian root used for centuries to support energy and hormonal health. Ashwagandha is an Ayurvedic adaptogen known for stress resilience. Turmeric and black pepper are paired for enhanced absorption of turmeric's anti-inflammatory compounds. Cacao is a vasodilator, making it an excellent delivery mechanism for these healing botanicals. Note: Vibrant Vitality is not recommended during pregnancy.

What does Vibrant Vitality ceremonial cacao taste like?

Vibrant Vitality has tasting notes of malt, earth, and cream — a rich, slightly sweet, and subtly earthy flavor. The added cacao butter gives it an exceptionally creamy texture. The maca adds a malted sweetness while the turmeric and ashwagandha add body and earthiness. Reviewers love that the adaptogen flavors integrate seamlessly into a satisfying, full-bodied cup.

What is Vibrant Vitality best used for?

Vibrant Vitality is best for hormone support and stamina. Its exuberant, spirited, and strengthening energy makes it ideal for active days, morning rituals, and periods of high demand on the body. The combination of maca (hormone support), ashwagandha (stress resilience), and cacao (sustained energy) creates a triple-action wellness blend. It is a popular choice for athletes, busy parents, and anyone navigating high-output seasons. Not recommended during pregnancy.

How does Vibrant Vitality compare to Mystical Mushroom?

Both are adaptogen-forward botanical cacaos, but they serve opposite needs. Vibrant Vitality is energizing and activating — it supports stamina, hormone balance, and stress resilience for high-output days. Mystical Mushroom is calming and restorative — it supports immune function and recovery. If you're depleted and need to rebuild, Mystical Mushroom is the choice. If you need to show up strong and sustain energy, Vibrant Vitality is the choice. Many customers keep both and rotate based on how they're feeling.

What are the heavy metal test results for Vibrant Vitality?

Vibrant Vitality tests at 48ppb lead and 227ppb cadmium. As with Oaxacan Spice, the higher lead value is driven by the secondary ingredients — specifically maca root, which is more prone to absorbing lead than cacao beans. The cacao base itself is clean. We are actively working on sourcing lower-lead maca. We test every batch through Purity Labs. Full results and context at ceremonial-cacao.com/pages/heavy-metals-results.

How many flavonoids does Vibrant Vitality cacao contain?

We haven't yet tested Vibrant Vitality's flavonoid content directly. Based on the pure cacao base minus the botanical content, we estimate approximately 600–650mg of flavonoids per serving. The botanicals also contribute their own beneficial plant compounds. See pure cacao flavonoid results at ceremonial-cacao.com/pages/high-flavonoid-levels.
