How Do You Make the Cordyceps Chocolate Latte?

Starting your day with a caffeine free cordyceps chocolate latte couldn’t be simpler. Prep time is a breeze! You just scoop, pour, and blend.

Begin by adding a mushroom blend with additional chaga, coconut milk powder, cacao, and cordyceps to your favorite cup. Pour hot water over these powerhouse ingredients and use a frother to mix them well. This process not only blends the powders smoothly but also creates a beautiful froth.

Taste and adjust the elixir to suit your preferences. If you like a hint of sweetness, try adding English toffee stevia. For an extra flavor boost, consider a dash of Medicine Flower Coffee Flavoring—perfect for getting that coffee taste without any health issues.

If you want a hot drink, Voila! It's ready! But if you want a cold chocolate latte, just add ice and stir.

In just a few minutes, you’ll have a cup brimming with deliciousness, transforming your mornings into moments of simple satisfaction. Enjoy each sip as a step towards better health.

Customizing Your Cordyceps Chocolate Latte

You can personalize your latte in various ways to suit you. For a warm, spicy note, add a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom. I even like to add a tiny but of cayenne. If you prefer a smoother, richer taste, mix in a dash of vanilla extract. During the holidays, you may want to add peppermint or orange extract.

For a creamier texture, substitute hot water with almond milk or use full-fat coconut milk instead of coconut milk powder. Adding a tablespoon of nut butter can provide extra protein and creaminess, while sprinkling hemp seeds or chia seeds on top adds texture and nutrition. Experiment with these options to create your perfect Cordyceps Chocolate Latte.

Coconut Milk

Coconut milk contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) that provide quick energy and help manage blood sugar levels. It contains essential nutrients that serve as hormone precursors which aid in maintaining hormonal balance. Coconut milk is also rich in lauric acid which has antimicrobial properties and supports a healthy gut.

Cacao

Cacao is rich in polyphenols and flavonoids that are antioxidants. It also contains anandamide which promotes a positive mood. Cacao's flavonoids also enhance insulin sensitivity helping with blood sugar regulation. The flavanols in cacao improve vascular function and blood pressure regulation, benefiting the heart, hormonal regulation, and blood sugar levels.

Cordyceps

Cordyceps contains cordycepin, which interacts with adenosine receptors to promote a feeling of more energy. Cordycepin is known for its broad range of health benefits, including anti-diabetic, anti-hyperlipidemic, anti-inflammatory, and cholesterol-lowering properties. Cordycepin also helps lower blood pressure and supports cardiovascular health by improving circulation.

The bioactive compounds in Cordyceps enhance insulin sensitivity. Its adaptogenic properties help balance cortisol levels which supports stress response and hormonal stability. Cordyceps also boosts ATP production, enhancing cellular energy and hormonal processes, and improves respiratory function. Its antioxidants, including superoxide dismutase, protect cells from oxidative damage.

Stevia

Stevia's steviol glycosides improve insulin sensitivity. It’s natural sweetness also aids in weight management, which is linked to hormonal balance. Stevia provides antioxidants and anti-inflammatory benefits.

These ingredients are rich in phytonutrients and support immune function, cardiovascular health, and hormonal balance.
