ReplyDeleteThis is a fantastic initiative that adds value to our cocoa and generates much needed foreign exchange for Grenada. In addition, it tastes so good, and has health benefits. What a winner! Congratulations to the Grenada Cocoa Association, L.A. Burdicks and the farmers of Grenada!

ReplyDeleteDanette May Found The Recipe Of Here Superfood Cacao Bliss
ReplyDeleteI was flipping through my orders and saw this...it's still eligible for return and I'm already on my second can! I love this stuff its my 100% true Cacao Bliss reviews If for no other reason than it goes into my coffee with some cream and makes it possible for me to have a one net carb, sugar free mocha every day. I also feel like it makes me peppier and happier. But maybe that's because I get to have a sugar free, superfood boosted, healthy mocha every day without guilt. YUM.
