Instead of Coffee..
I gave up
coffee. Again. This time it’s been over a month. The last time I quit coffee, I
usually just drank herbal tea, I did it for years, and one day I wanted a hot
drink that was creamier and not hot cocoa. THAT’S how I ended up back on the
coffee train. THIS time, I have some “instead of coffee” drinks that I have
been drinking. I’ve got about 4 that are all a little different and are what I
would call my GO TO drinks. Today I will share one of those variations with
you.
Last night I
made some hemp milk. That’s what the base is for this one.
1.5 Cups
Hemp Milk (warmed, but not hot)
1 tsp
Vanilla Extract
1 Dropper
English Toffee Stevia
2 tsp Raw
Chocolate Powder
1T Raw Maca
Powder
1 tsp
Spirulina Powder
Raw Honey to
taste
Blend and
Serve
This turned
out wonderful! I dusted the top with some cinnamon. Don’t worry if you don’t
have the exact stuff I do, you can still try this. Use your mylk that you have
on hand and the rest of the stuff you have. The Maca and Spirulina I put in for
their healing properties, if you don’t use these, no worries, you can still
make a spectacular drink! (*Note, if you don’t have any English Toffee stevia,
I would use another kind or add a bit more honey.)
That sounds wonderful! Can't wait til APRIL! (that sounds just to darn far away). I'm not partial to hemp mylk though- was thinking of using cashews? The english toffee sounds like a must! Am writing the recipe down now! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteYes you can use cashews! or almonds or sunflower seeds, whatever kind of seed mylk you make! I actually think that sunflower seed mylk is one of my favorites, and its really cheap to make also! :)
DeleteP.S. April is really not that far down the road, as crazy as that sounds....
DeleteXOXO
Oh! I never tried sunflower mylk- that sounds so good!! Do you need to strain? do you soak first? What ratio to water? Yes, I am so into CHEAP too!! lol Thanks for the tip!!
ReplyDeleteI use soaked seeds in mine and I use the same ratio with other nuts as seeds. I also will strain all of the mylks. You can use a mesh strainer if you dont have a nut milk bag, or a paint strainer, or get some cheese cloth (a little messy..) sunflower mylk is SO good!
DeleteOps, here is the whole HEMP MYLK/other mylk post. I thought I already put this one up. This has all the measurements I use, etc.
