ADAPTOGENIC COFFEE SMOOTHIE

Adaptogens like Chaga, Lion’s Main, Reishi or Turkey Tail take this Coffee Smoothie to new levels.

I like to add them for their superpowers: they help our bodies better deal with mental, physical and emotional stress. They support our adrenal glands (tiny glands that make our stress and sex hormones) and bring our bodies back into balance, often improving the central nervous system, our mood, energy and mental acuity.  Yassss!
