Perhaps, you are not all too crazy about coffee or want to change up your "go-to" morning beverage. This is why we went ahead and put together a delicious, creamy vegan yerba mate latte that packs a clean caffeine kick. This drink also contains energizing
MCT powder,
adaptogenic mushrooms, plant protein, and
raw cacao to fuel your brain.
The addition of MCT (medium chain triglycerides) powder is a superfood that fuels the brain and breaks down into C8, C10, and C12 medium fatty acids. These fatty acids are further added to be metabolized in the liver and turned into energy. Further it breaks down into ketones and is used by the brain as fuel. This is a stable source of energy which is great for those that follow a keto diet. In this latte, you will also find a blend of adaptogenic mushrooms - reishi being one of our favorites - which contains properties that help to combat stress, enhance vitality, and potentially act as a detoxifying liver cleanse.
