SUPERFOOD COFFEE
Hello friends! Happy Tuesday!
I am so excited to share this recipe with you, along with some amazing benefits that come from the TWO Superfood ingredients included!
I came up with this recipe randomly last Friday. It was only 9 AM and as I was making our bed, I was seriously fighting the urge to jump in and sleep the day away. I needed an extra boost, but for those of you who know me, I need something different every once in a while!
My sweet husband gifted me a Vitamix for Christmas – something I’ve wanted for years! So lately I’ve been playing around with things to blend (other than smoothies of course). After taking the first sip, I was pleasantly surprised with the sweet and chocolatey taste. It was literally like a healthy Mocha Late´!
Below is the super simple recipe, then we’ll get into the benefits.
S u p e r f o o d C o f f e e
INGREDIENTS
One cup (enough to fill your favorite mug) of hot coffee
1 TBSP Organic Cacao Powder
1 1/2 TBSP Coconut Cream (sweetened or unsweetened – whatever you prefer)
1/2 tsp Organic Maca Powder
DIRECTIONS
Add all ingredients into your blender in the order listed. Blend for about 45 seconds to 1 minute. Pour into your favorite mug!
Benefits of Cacao Powder
Cacao is the raw and most pure form of chocolate. on its own, it carries more antioxidants than any berry, including blueberries! It’s full of magnesium, carotene and essential fatty acids. It also helps build your immune system to fight off harmful chemicals that our bodies take in every day. AND. It tastes like chocolate. Clearly a benefit in my book!

Benefits of Maca Powder
Maca powder is an amazing energy boosting ingredient that improves strength, endurance and focus. I do urge you to be cautious when adding this to your food or smoothies, especially in this recipe. Since there is caffeine in the coffee, these two combined may be too much for some bodies to handle. You could try skipping the Maca powder, or due decaf coffee instead of regular.
Thanks so much for reading, I hope you try this recipe!
