So, let\u2019s change that, as soup is absolutely a spa-inspired recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When searching for the <a href=\"https:\/\/vacayou.com\/destinations\/central-america\/costa-rica\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">perfect Costa Rica retreat<\/a>, I eventually found myself on the Osa Peninsula. Known for its incredible biodiversity and<a href=\"https:\/\/www.stayadventurous.com\/2014\/01\/beach-osa-peninsula-costa-rica\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> virgin volcanic beaches,<\/a> the destination resort served delicious food.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was no reason to leave except for taking a hike into the wild. When onsite I also noticed lunch always offered a puree or soup seemingly designed from the vegetables served at the prior night\u2019s dinner. Here, no vegetables nor any food was ever wasted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So why not make soup? Start with a simple broth from vegetable scraps or purchase stock and then allow the creativity to flow with all the ingredients and vegetables you haven\u2019t utilized yet. Don\u2019t let any go to waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, soups can always be frozen, too. Make big batches and store some to and eat on days when cooking a meal is not on the agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For me, I make my own broths. And each time I prepare soup, I am living the <em>pura vida<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-plant-based-chocolate-mousse\">3. Plant-Based Chocolate Mousse<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The word \u201ctreat\u201d exists in retreat for a reason. We need to reward ourselves at times, so yes this gives us permission to order dessert.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But how about a plant-based delicacy? Doesn\u2019t sound like an enticing dessert choice? Well, please remember chocolate is derived from a tropical fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"27606\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDI0IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY4MSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSI+PGFuaW1hdGUgYXR0cmlidXRlTmFtZT0iZmlsbCIgdmFsdWVzPSJyZ2JhKDE1MywxNTMsMTUzLDAuNSk7cmdiYSgxNTMsMTUzLDE1MywwLjEpO3JnYmEoMTUzLDE1MywxNTMsMC41KSIgZHVyPSIycyIgcmVwZWF0Q291bnQ9ImluZGVmaW5pdGUiIC8+PC9yZWN0Pjwvc3ZnPg==\" alt=\"cacao for spa-inspired recipes with chocolate\" class=\"wp-post-5190 wp-image-27606\" data-public-id=\"magazine\/cacao-pexels-pixabay-50707\/cacao-pexels-pixabay-50707.jpg\" data-format=\"jpg\" data-transformations=\"c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\" data-version=\"1739296590\" data-seo=\"1\" data-size=\"1024 681\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1024,h_681,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1739296590\/magazine\/cacao-pexels-pixabay-50707\/cacao-pexels-pixabay-50707.jpg?_i=AA 1024w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_300,h_200,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1739296590\/magazine\/cacao-pexels-pixabay-50707\/cacao-pexels-pixabay-50707.jpg?_i=AA 300w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_768,h_511,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1739296590\/magazine\/cacao-pexels-pixabay-50707\/cacao-pexels-pixabay-50707.jpg?_i=AA 768w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1536,h_1021,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1739296590\/magazine\/cacao-pexels-pixabay-50707\/cacao-pexels-pixabay-50707.jpg?_i=AA 1536w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1200,h_798,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1739296590\/magazine\/cacao-pexels-pixabay-50707\/cacao-pexels-pixabay-50707.jpg?_i=AA 1200w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1440,h_958,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1739296590\/magazine\/cacao-pexels-pixabay-50707\/cacao-pexels-pixabay-50707.jpg?_i=AA 1440w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_600,h_399,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1739296590\/magazine\/cacao-pexels-pixabay-50707\/cacao-pexels-pixabay-50707.jpg?_i=AA 600w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1739296590\/magazine\/cacao-pexels-pixabay-50707\/cacao-pexels-pixabay-50707.jpg?_i=AA 1600w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-delivery=\"upload\" onload=\";window.CLDBind?CLDBind(this):null;\" data-cloudinary=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Mayans of Mexico discovered many of the healing properties of chocolate, or really cacao\u2014the fruit used to make chocolate.

Attending a cooking demo on my stay, I discovered this delicious dessert was easy to make.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the ingredients of \u00bc cup Medjool dates, \u00bc cup maple syrup, \u00bc tsp of vanilla extract, \u00be cup avocados (I prefer Florida, the larger avocados), 6 Tbsp of pure cacao powder and \u00bc cup of almond milk, you have what you need.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Add to a food processor and whip to the consistency of a chocolate mousse. Serve chilled with a slice of strawberry to augment its decadence.
