How to Make the Melted Cacao Pitta Pocket
Ingredients:
¼ of a wholemeal or gluten-free pitta bread
A small handful of mini 100% cacao drops (or chopped or grated from a bar)
Optional: banana slices, glycine powder, cinnamon, or crushed walnuts
Optional bonus layer:
Mix a spoonful of cacao powder with a splash of water or soya milk to form a spreadable paste. You can sweeten it with glycine or xylitol, or enjoy it as it is.
Method:
Warm the pitta bread for a few seconds in the toaster until soft and steamy.
Carefully slice it open to create a pocket.
Spread the cacao paste inside (if using), then sprinkle in the cacao drops and any extras.
Close the pocket and give it a few moments—the heat will melt everything together beautifully.
Bite in and enjoy the chocolate lava magic!

Need a quick fuel-up before training? This version skips the added nuts and cacao drops for faster digestion—but still gives you high-quality protein and energising carbs.
How to make it:
Mix 10g clean microfiltered whey protein with 1 tsp cacao powder and a splash of water to make a smooth chocolate spread.
Spread it inside half of a warm pitta.
Add a few cold banana slices if you want a touch more quick-release energy.
Why it works:
The pitta + banana provides fast-digesting carbs.
Whey protein supports muscle repair and performance.
No heavy fats = quicker absorption.
It’s ideal 30 minutes before your workout—light, delicious, and functional.
Why It’s More Than a Treat
100% cacao is packed with antioxidants and flavonoids that:
Protect your skin from oxidative stress and aging
Improve mood and mental clarity
Support heart health and circulation
When you add glycine or banana, you're giving your body nutrients that support sleep, skin elasticity, digestive health, and energy balance. It’s not just a snack—it’s a form of nourishment wrapped in indulgence.
