Magic Cacao Smoothie Recipe

You know about power smoothies for your body but what about a power smoothie for your heart and brain? Try this chocolate smoothie! It has lion mane mushroom for memory and nerve support, cordyceps mushroom for energy support (yeah, the same one from 'The Last of Us'), reishi mushroom for cardio and longevity, cacao for more heart health, almond milk (or any other kind of milk), and banana for texture, taste and extra love. It is the perfect addition to your morning routine.

Here are the ingredients:

1 teaspoon of lions mane mushroom powder

1 teaspoon of cordyceps mushroom powder

1 teaspoon of reishi mushroom powder

2 tablespoons of cacao powder

2 cups of milk (start with1.5 cups and work up to your preferred consistency)

1 or 2 frozen bananas or avocado

This smoothie makes two servings.

Now here is how the magic works:

This drink gets your heart right and you will know how much a brain loves a good heart (my brain made me type that). Something special to note about this drink: the 3 mushrooms are adaptogens. Reishi and cocoa powder get your heart on a good rythm while lions mane supports your nervous system so that your heart and brain are more in sync also increasing focus. Cordyceps helps elevate your energy so you can take on your day in a very balanced state. I find that this recipe pairs very well with meditation so I recommend you take 5 to 15 mins to sit and observe the magical effects of this smoothie activate you. Best part of all, it is DELICIOUS!

Enjoy!
