I just started researching into this diet and the foods I can and cannot eat while on it. I was wondering, can I use organic cacao powder while on this diet?
I actually like it. I purchased this and make chocolate milk out of it with honey or maple syrup, to satisfy my chocolate tooth. It doesn't blend as well as cocoa so might be better in smoothies, but I have liked it.
I would use Cacao, it isn't processed and it'd raw. I think they bake Cacao beans and use it for cocoa which is less nutritious and Dutch processed cocoa has about 0 nutrients.

Cacao powder is made from cocoa beans. Y'know, the stuff chocolate is made from. It's a superfood that gives the oatmeal (or whatever it's mixed in - it's good in coffee too) a nice chocolate taste. The fact that it's so healthy shouldn't be surprising since dark chocolate has health benefits (dark chocolate has more of it than milk chocolate).
> Like chocolate, cacao powder contains flavonoids, which are known to help lower blood pressure and improve blood flow to the brain and heart. With fewer than 15 calories per tablespoon and containing almost no fat, cacao provides a strong chocolate flavor without the guilt. “For someone who has a chocolate tooth and is looking for heart or circulation benefits, it’s a good call,” says Dawn Jackson Blatner, a registered dietitian.

It's relatively cheap - I bought a 16oz bag on amazon and it seems like it's lasting a long time.
Don't take my word for it, of course. Do some research to see if it's something you want to add to your breakfast.
2 TB unsweetened cocao powder
1/2 cup frozen raspberries
1 cup frozen strawberries
1 bag Soylent
Turns Soylent into a delicious smoothie while retaining the healthiness.
I love this stuff, put about a tablespoon in my black coffee everyday.

A tablespoon of cacao powder helps mask some of the crappier flavors of whey that I've bought in the past. You can get a 1lb bag of it on Amazon for under $10.
Pricewise it isn't that awful:
REgarding box mixes; You can also get them without so many nasty additives...

Chocolate Substitute
Recipe by Navitas Naturals. Follow the link or look at my substitutions in case you don't have one of the ingredients or are making one serving.
1 Cup Water
1 Tbsp Mesquite Powder (Navitas discontinued theirs, and although I have never tried it, I have found Sunfood is a great brand equal in taste and quality).
3 Tbsp Cacao powder. (Instead of nibs. I don't usually keep these around anyway since most of my raw baking requires Cacao powder).
2 ice cubes
2 TBSP Chocolate Protein Powder (or any whey and casein-free option). I used Healthforce Nutritionals Warrior Food Extreme Chocolate Plus.
1½ Bananas (peeled and chopped). I used one banana, plus half of a frozen one to thicken and make the smoothie extra cold.
Sprinkle of cinnamon
This morning I made this as my breakfast. I wanted something different from my usual green smoothie and mesquite was begging to be used.
The top layer was frothy like a latte and the cinnamon complemented the chocolate so well. The smoothie/shake kept me full for quite a while! This may also make a decent pre/post workout smoothie, as Mesquite powder is a decent source of protein, calcium, and iron, essential for the recovery of muscles. Also, in abundance of zinc, why not support the health of your memory, skin, and eyes at the same time?
