Perk Up…
Around 3 o’clock, it’s pretty common to feel your mind to wander. Motivation begins to dip and energy begins to flag. Normally, you might reach for that fourth or fifth cup of coffee. But all that caffeine can make you jittery and even more out-of-focus. How about trading in the midday latte for this Chocolate CBD Latte?
Caffeine-free, packed with 10 adaptogenic mushrooms, and with minimal sugar, this beats the afternoon slump, without the jitters.*
Without The Caffeine!
While many folks use CBD to help them get to sleep, research actually suggests smaller doses of CBD can promote wakefulness and can react with some of the same receptors as caffeine.
The cocoa in this latte also offers its own energizing benefits. Cacao is rich is theobromine and anandamide, which also interact with your body’s cannabinoid receptors to promote feelings of bliss and wellbeing. The actual amount of caffeine in cacao varies from plant to plant, and it’s usually a negligible amount. However, the bean does contain theobromine, which is a relative of caffeine that’s been found to increase alertness.*
Choose Your Flavors
I love this latte just as it is – slightly sweet from the Brothers Wild Rosin CBD Honey and deliciously chocolatey from the Dutch cocoa powder.
However, you can feel free to customize this drink however you like by adding your own flavors or garnishes! To make a riff on Mexican hot chocolate, add in a sprinkle of cinnamon and cayenne pepper. For a floral flavor, add in a dash of rose water, or a dash of finely-ground culinary lavender. For an earthy, nutty, spicy flavor, add in a pinch of cardamom. The options are endless!*
