If you don’t have any, you can just use unsweetened cocoa powder instead.

My favourite kitchen gadgets

Having the right gadgets has totally changed my experience in the kitchen.

High-speed blender
Vitamix blender

I use my Vitamix blender at least 2-3 times EVERY day. It’s fast, so versatile and super quick and easy to clean. I couldn’t live without mine. I absolutely love it!

Food processor
Food processor

I use my powerful food processor three or four times a week, for making nut butters, desserts, sauces, burgers and more. It’s great for large batches and dishes that need texture and just makes “cooking” so much faster.

Dehydrator
Excalibur dehydrator

I use my 5-tray Excalibur dehydrator once or twice a week, for crackers, breads, biscuits, cakes or even just for thawing things. It does an awesome job and makes eating raw SO much easier.
