Cashew Macaccino Macchiato

Monday, 10th November 2014

Super-charge your morning cappuccino into a caffeine free, super food macaccino.

Macchiato (Italian for “marked”) is a term that is used to describe an espresso coffee that is “marked” or “stained” with a drop of milk. In this case, the drop of milk will be from cashews and the coffee will be a delicious coffee substitute made from a combination of the adaptogenic tuber Maca, the food of the gods – Cacao, fragrant Vanilla and Coconut Palm Sugar. The coconut oil adds healthy medium chain triglycerides and a perfect smooth, richness to the drink. Replace your morning coffee with these energizing and supportive superfoods and feel strong, clear and grounded.

Ingredients

8 oz. of water

2 tbsp. of Organic Traditions Macaccino Drink Mix

2-3 tbsp. of Cashews

1 tsp. of Raw Coconut Oil

1-2 tsp. of Yacon Syrup or any other Natural Sweetener

Optional:

1⁄8 - ¼ tsp. of Cinnamon

A dash of cayenne pepper
