    Coconut Adaptogenic Mushroom Latt?

    Coconut Adaptogenic Mushroom Latt?. Vegan, Gluten Free and Caffeine Free latte! Made with an herbal coffee substitute and a healing mushroom blend for a coffee replacement! #vegan #herbal #coffee #dandyblend

    A FROTHY, CREAMY, CAFFEINE-FREE MAGIC POTION!

    Are you a caffeine queen?

    I’m always trying to cut back on my beloved caffeine. Ugh. While I allow myself one cup of coffee in the morning (because it makes me happy/keeps me sane) I’m well aware that it’s an addiction. Hey, I’m not perfect. There are better things I can be putting in my body… but it’s SO GOOD.

    This is the constant caffeine struggle. I have quit coffee a couple times in the past… and obviously didn’t last long ha. I’ve talked about it before here on the blog but to me, the whole process is all about morning ritual. Brewing a cup of coffee is what I do in the morning (after I drink my water!) and is something I look forward to as soon as I wake up. So, when I’ve already had my morning cup of coffee and I’m craving another, I make this caffeine-free Coconut Adaptogenic Mushroom Latt? instead. She’s the prettiest! And tastes like a dream too. Basically whenever I want something warm, comforting and most importantly, caffeine free, this cup of heaven is my go-to, for a little pick-me-up power.

    Think of this adaptogenic latt? as your healing elixir; complete with adaptogens, medicinal shrooms and herbs, fused with creamy coconut milk.

    But does it taste mushroom-y? No, not at all, because that would be gross. It tastes like a toasted caramel latt?. And no brewing required.

    Coconut Adaptogenic Mushroom Latt?. Vegan, Gluten Free and Caffeine Free latte! Made with an herbal coffee substitute and a healing mushroom blend for a coffee replacement! #vegan #herbal #coffee #dandyblend

    What are adaptogens?

    Adaptogens come in many forms, from pills and extracts to powders and blends. They are primarily plants (or in this case, mushrooms) which tend to grow in the most inhospitable areas of the earth: deserts, cold mountains, dry and barren land, some even dating back to the ice age. Living in such harsh conditions, the adaptogenic plants have developed surreal resiliency to survive the environmental stressors surrounding them.

    Luckily, when we consume these adaptogens, our own ability to deal with stress in our internal and external environments greatly improves. Adaptogens do not serve one single function; instead they?re able to adapt to whatever it is your body needs help with at that time, and work to balance or alleviate the symptoms. So cool, right?!! They’re an all natural way to holistically support your health. Feel free to do your own research on adaptogens – there are so many! But today, it’s all about the shrooms.

    So what’s in this healing elixir?! Let’s talk ingredients.

    >>> Dandy Blend Herbal Coffee: 

    I’ve talked about Dandy Blend before, in this post but I’ve since perfected the recipe which is why I’m sharing it with you today. Dandy Blend is a herbal coffee substitute that has no acidity or bitterness, while offering a slight natural sweetness from roasted dandelion and chicory roots. Dandy Blend features the smooth texture and rich taste of real coffee, and dissolves instantly in hot or cold liquid. It contains no caffeine, no bitterness, no pesticides, no GMO?s, no gluten and nothing artificial. There are so many benefits of dandelion tea, ranging from liver detox to digestion help, and even to improve blood flow & circulation.

    The ingredients are: extracts of roasted barley, rye, chicory root, dandelion root and sugar beets.  It really is the perfect herbal coffee alternative!

    >>> Four Sigmatic 10-Mushroom Blend: 

    The mushroom blend from Four Sigmatic contains different species of functional mushrooms that have all been widely researched. Chaga, Reishi, Cordyceps, Lions Mane, Shiitake, Maitake, Enokitake, Agaricus, Meshima and Tremella (and also Rose hips too). This makes it easy to consume different kinds of mushrooms, without having to buy each one separately.

    The benefits of medicinal mushrooms?! There are so many! They all have game changing health properties that help with alertness, brain function, immunity, energy, balancing hormones, liver and kidney health, and longevity, to name a few. I love that I can add a major health boost to my latt?s! You can add it to your regular cup of coffee too, as well as smoothies, soups, etc. To me, it doesn’t really taste like anything except the faintest flavor of earthy herbal tea.

    >>> Coconut Butter:

    Coconut butter is my one true love. It tastes like fluffy, creamy coconut clouds sent straight from the heavens. Talk about dreamy. My love for it started after I began incorporating more fats into my plant based diet, after trying to balance my hormones naturally. FATS ARE CRUCIAL. I literally eat spoonfuls of this coconut butter out of the jar because it tastes so darn good and because coconut butter has all the healthy brain-boosting fats to keep you satiated and balanced. Plus, adding it to your latt?s will give it that frothy creaminess…. mmm!


    *** After heating up the coconut milk, I add all ingredients to my glass mug and use my lovely frother tool (only $10!) to blend/froth it up. This way is SO EASY because all I have to clean is the little frother tool but feel free to blend it in your blender or nutribullet if you feel like it. There’s no right or wrong way! Also, I topped my mug with the prettiest edible flowers, but thats totally optional! And how cute is that gold spoon though?!

    yes, being a mama will always be my #1 priority bu yes, being a mama will always be my #1 priority but in that I’ve sort of lost myself.

It’s my own doing too so don’t feel bad for me 😂 because it truly never felt right to leave my girl. We are very attached. Am I crazy? Yes, probably. But I’m okay with that. I realized my baby will be FINE if I go get a professional haircut or a pampering pedicure. Idk what changed but I think it’s the fact that I’m noticing more wrinkles and my hair could use a transformation. It’s greasy, heavy and lacking life. So I’m getting a haircut this week 💇‍♀️ I’m changing to a customized hair care system AND I’m scheduling a hydra facial because my skin desperately needs hydration. My skin, hair and nervous system need some serious self care haha.

Mamas, it may not feel right just yet to prioritize you but the time will come. Just follow your intuition 🖤🖤🖤 you deserve it.

what are you guys up to today?! I’m installing our new shower filter that I can’t wait to share about, running errands, cleaning, thinking about dinner, the usual Sunday things 💗💗💗
    HANDLE NAME CHANGE!! I’ve been wanting to do th HANDLE NAME CHANGE!!

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while as a fresh start with all the changes to my “brand” in the last year. It feels right to just use my name 😀 (fun fact: I haven’t taken my hubbys last name yet because of business paperwork that I’m too lazy to figure out 😅 name changes are complicated) 

@theglowingfridge started out of my love for the plant based lifestyle but so much has changed in the last 9 years and I’ve been itching to update. Nothing else will change and my blog will still remain as is, if you still use my recipes and such. Love you all and thank you for supporting me through all these changes 🤍🤍🤍

When my blood sugar is on a nasty rollercoaster, I’m not the best mama that I know I should be for my girl. I’m more irritable and short. So I prioritize protein, healthy fats and carbs at each meal. This helps me feel balanced and provides energy to play and chase after her all day! I need all the fuel I can get.

    I don’t get ready everyday… But when I do I f I don’t get ready everyday…

But when I do I feel better, duh! And more confident. More productive. Happier in general. Of course I have super lazy days but I try to get myself together because I’m more likely to leave the house, you know mamas? I hate when people ask “why do you get ready if you’re home all day”.. 

I’m sharing different content like this because I feel like it and don’t want to be stuck in a box 😀

    I mean if you drink it everyday… It should be o I mean if you drink it everyday…

It should be organic, mold-free, tested for mycotoxins and taste delicious, etc. King coffee goes a step further with a therapeutic dose of reishi spores, the most powerful and potent part of reishi mushroom! Most other companies use the lucidum part of reishi, in case you’re wondering 👑
