This chocolate milk is a combination of two TCM superfoods that help to revitalize and energize you for a guilt-free indulgence!

Curb a chocolate craving the healthy way! We’ve got a cacao-infused almond milk that houses a unique combination of chaga mushrooms and rooibos tea. This creamy elixir tastes just as good as the chocolate milk you grew up on, but with health benefits that are second to none!

Instead of processed sweeteners, this homemade chocolate milk is sweetened with the natural goodness of raw honey, for a just-sweet-enough flavor that allows the other flavors to shine. You won’t find processed chocolate here either; instead, the pure richness of raw cacao powder brings a dose of antioxidants and deep chocolate flavor that satisfies.

Tip: This chocolate milk can be served hot or cold to reap its benefits year round!

Preparing Chaga Chocolate Milk Elixir

Chaga: A Superfood Fungus

Chaga belongs to a group of herbs, mushrooms, and roots called adaptogens. Fun fact: the chaga mushroom has the highest level of antioxidants on the ORAC scale of any natural food.

Clear the (Brain) Fog with Ginseng

Ginseng is a root that is widely used for its ability to boost stamina while reducing anxiety. That’s because ginseng is able to both calm and stimulate the nervous system. It’s a useful herb for anyone suffering from lack of energy and mental clarity.

Rooibos Vitality Booster

If you’re looking for a healthy infusion, look no further than rooibos tea. Rooibos contains its own unique polyphenol called Aspalathin, full of antioxidants that are responsible for this tea’s health-boosting properties.

Star of the Show

Star Anise has a sweet, uplifting licorice aroma and flavor. It is used in both sweet and savory cooking, from muffins to 5-Spice Chicken. But this star-shaped spice is also an adaptogen with its own powerful restorative and antioxidant benefits.
