Perfect for the fall! Sooth your nervous system with this antioxidant-packed, anti-inflammatory latte.
It’s vegan and gluten-free with two adaptogens: ashwaghanda and ho shou wu. According to integrative medicine practitioner Dr. Frank Lipman: “Adaptogens are a unique group of herbal ingredients used to improve the health of your adrenal system, the system that’s in charge of managing your body’s hormonal response to stress. They help strengthen the body’s response to stress and enhance its ability to cope with anxiety and fight fatigue.”
Even if you don’t have these two ingredients, this latte still tastes delicious and is nutrient packed. So, warm up by a cozy fire with this delicious and satisfying latte in hand. Make a large batch and have it cold the next day or add hot water for a latte in seconds.
