We blended up three creamy and delicious adaptogen lattes to match three of our very own gr8nola superfood flavors: Black Coco Chia (we made a charcoal-infused coconut milk latte), Golden Spice (we made a turmeric-infused golden milk latte) and Cacao Crisp (we made a cacao-infused maca latte). These plant-based and vegan-friendly lattes are brimming with health benefits, and are made with clean and natural ingredients -- no refined sugar, dairy or soy!
These immune-boosting lattes are not only steeped with our favorite superfoods, but they’re also infused with stress-soothing adaptogens so you can sip your stress away while enjoying a delightfully frothy treat.
Are you still wondering what adaptogens are -- and why you should include them in your diet -- especially during stressful times? Adaptogens are natural herbs that work against the negative effects that stress has on your body. They’re also known to boost your brain function, elevate attention and increase energy levels.
