Hello Everyone. I wanted to give an update on the future of Kakow Kanteen. Technically, Kakow Kanteen has run its course. BUT, I am working on a retail beverage product that will hopefully be available by summer. Keep watch for updates.
In the meantime, I didn’t want to leave you hanging for too long, so…
CACAO BROWNIES!
Why brownies? 3 reasons.
1. Can you think of a good reason it shouldn’t be brownies? Of course not.
2. They’re delicious and easy to package and store.
3. When cacao is raised above 300 degrees the epicatechin availability increases by 600% or more!

What is epicatechin? Epicatechin is the compound in cacao that regulates blood sugar which helps with weight loss by storing sugar as glycogen in the body rather than fat. The glycogen then slowly enters your bloodstream throughout the day to give steady energy and prevent sugar cravings. So YES, you can lose weight eating brownies. Yes really.

These are flour-less brownies so they’re gluten free, but you won’t notice. I use sprouted walnuts to enhance the texture and nutrition of the cacao. (not that it needs it. Cacao is LOADED with nutrition) Both cacao and walnuts are high in protein and fiber which slow digestion and aid in blood sugar control as well.

These will be great as a part of your Superbowl spread. Nobody will suspect they’re eating something that is good for them and it will help to mediate all those extra calories.

Place your order today by FB messenger.
4 brownies are $8
8 brownies are $15.

I recommend 2-3 per day. 1 before breakfast and lunch, and if you like, a 3rd as an afternoon snack. You should find that you are not very hungry come dinner, plan on a low carb dinner of veggies and protein to round out your nutritional needs.
Alternative sweeteners are available by special order (units of 8) and will incur a slight up charge. Shipping available as well.
Looking forward to hearing from you!

Some sad news. As some of you know the building was sold. I was in final negotiations for another location downtown, but they fell through Wednesday night. Unfortunately this means I am forced to close at least temporarily. Looking at various options going forward. I will likely be doing some limited sales from home utilizing Iowa cottage laws. Look for that in the coming weeks. As things progress I will update here.
Thanks for all the support thus far.

I'M BACK! My cold turned out to be the flu. Usually I get the flu shot early but put it off this year until about two weeks ago. If you don't know already, vaccines take about two weeks to build to full effectiveness. Sure enough, I got exposed to somebody the first week after my shot. I know it helped though. Never got to that 'please kill me now' stage. 😜
Anyway, look forward to seeing all of you. Stop in soon. ☕

Really sorry folks. Still fighting this cold/sinus thing. Hopefully can open tomorrow.

Sorry folks. Closed today to fight off a cold. No, it's not omicron. 🤦😂 Should be back tomorrow. Did you know that cacao is good for fighting infections? It's a good source of zinc. Which has been shown to reduce symptoms of the cold and flu and aid in faster recovery. It's also a good source of vitamin C if you don't heat it.
