*A bioactive compound is a naturally occurring chemical found in certain foods that has an effect on the body—beyond just providing basic nutrition. These compounds, like flavonoids, polyphenols, and theobromine in cacao, can influence processes such as inflammation, blood flow, mood, and cell repair. They help protect the body against disease, support optimal function, and promote overall wellbeing.

Your Questions, Answered

We’ve gathered some of our most common questions to help you make the most of your cacao ritual.

How do I prepare Better Bean cacao?

Please take a look at our Recipes page for directions on how to prepare Better Bean cacao and a variety of different cacao based recipes.

https://www.betterbean.com.au/pages/cacao-recipes

Is it suitable as a coffee alternative?

Yes — cacao is a gentle, nourishing alternative to coffee. While it contains a small amount of theobromine (a natural stimulant), it doesn’t spike cortisol or disrupt hormones like caffeine can.

Our blends are designed to provide sustained energy, focus, and mood support without the crash or jitters — making them ideal for anyone looking to reduce or replace coffee in their daily routine.

Are your products vegan-friendly?

Yes — all Better Bean Cacao blends are 100% vegan-friendly.

We use plant-based ingredients only, including pure Vanuatuan cacao, cacao butter, and functional botanicals. Even our creamy blends, like The Achiever, use coconut milk powder instead of dairy.

No animal products, no hidden additives — just delicious, nourishing cacao you can trust.

Do your blends contain any processed sugars?

No — we never use refined or processed sugars in our blends. We lightly sweeten some of our cacao with panela, a natural, unrefined cane sugar that retains its mineral content and offers a gentle sweetness without spiking blood sugar.

Our focus is on whole, minimally processed ingredients that nourish without compromise — and that includes how we sweeten our blends.

Can I drink cacao every day?

Yes, you can absolutely enjoy cacao every day!

Better Bean cacao is packed with natural compounds that can support your heart, mind, and mood. It’s rich in antioxidants and flavanols, which help improve circulation and support heart health.

It can help you feel more focused and uplifted, thanks to its gentle stimulants like theobromine and its ability to boost feel-good brain chemicals like serotonin and dopamine.
