Macaccino: Mushroom Elixir
If you’re looking for a one stop shop health boost, this is it! 7 minutes and 7 ingredients. This grounding combination of coconut oil, dandelion, maca, cocoa and mushroom extract will help strengthen your immune system, support your liver and adrenals, boost alertness and brain function, and provide overall nourishment to your body and soul. This is a must try and a definite mainstay.
This beverage can change your morning. If you find you’re sensitive to caffeine OR you struggle with sleep issues (hint, the two are often connected), then we recommend ditching caffeine for a time.
Caffeine is a nervous system stimulant. Although fairly harmless in itself, it’s often the stray the broke the camels back. Think of the barrel effect, how all of life’s stressors combine to fill up our barrel and lower our ability to manage stress. Caffeine takes up a lot of unnecessary space in the barrel.
But what about the mental focus and alertness caffeine provides, you may ask. That’s where Maca comes in. Maca is a Peruvian root that provides gentle alertness and clarity without the crash. It’s been safely used in herbal medicine practices for hundreds of years. As a powerful adaptogen, it helps increase your tolerance to stressful events. Studies show it can help keep cortisol levels from rising.
It also tastes really delicious and oddly like coffee. With the use of roasted chicory or dandelion root coffee, you’re simulating the flavour of coffee while also supporting your liver with these great herbs !
so if you’ve tried to quit coffee because it makes you anxious, jittery, crash, eye twitch (me) or whatever reason, then give this a go. Because sometimes you just want a warm cup of a dark liquid.
Dark Chocolate and Nuts
This recipe is sure to satisfy anyone’s chocolate craving! Made with only 3 ingredients, in under 2 minutes. This grounding snack is satisfying, full of protein, healthy fat and antioxidants. All with the added bonus of a nutty texture and delightful creaminess from the nut butter.
This cheeky little chocolate snack was created in an effort to make a snickers bar at home. It has the chocolate. The crunch from the nuts. And the ooey smoothness from the nut butter. Topped with flaky salt and your brain will think you’re eating a snickers bar, trust us.
Side note on peanut butter: peanuts have been shown to be high in mycotoxins (aka mold). This can exasperate symptoms of anxiety, and lower the immune system. If you’re sensitive, it’s best to stick with almond butter.
