Wait… what?!

Yes, you read that correctly. Your cup of Cacaoii can also become part of your pre-workout ritual. Not because it is a classic pre-workout powder, but because cacao naturally contains compounds that can give you a gentle, steady feeling before movement.

So, how does it work?

Cacaoii is made from pure cacao, keeping the natural richness of the cacao bean. It naturally contains cacao butter, fibre and minerals such as magnesium and iron. But the ingredient that makes cacao especially interesting before movement is theobromine.

Theobromine is a natural compound found in cacao. It can feel gently stimulating, but in a smoother way than the intense kick you may know from many classic pre-workouts. Instead of a sharp rush, Cacaoii gives more of a balanced, grounded energy — perfect before yoga, pilates, a walk, a run or a gym session.

You may already know theobromine from dark chocolate. It is naturally present in chocolate bars with a high cacao percentage. The difference is that chocolate bars are often mixed with added sugar, dairy or other ingredients. Cacaoii keeps it simple: pure cacao with no unnecessary extras and no added sugar. That makes it a beautiful option when you want something natural before moving your body.

So, how do you use Cacaoii before a workout?

For a soft daily ritual, 10–15 grams is a lovely amount. Before movement, you can try a slightly stronger serving of around 15–20 grams. Mix it with warm water, cold water or a little bit of plant-based milk. Blend or froth until smooth, drink it around 20–30 minutes before your workout, and you are good to go.

Our favourite ways to use it:

• Before yoga: warm, soft and grounding.
• Before a run: mixed with water for a lighter feel.
• Before the gym: with plant-based milk for a creamier cup.
• Before a walk: iced, simple and refreshing.

Cacaoii is not about pushing your body harder. It is about creating a natural ritual before movement. A moment to connect with your body. A gentle lift from cacao. A different kind of energy.
