Crashing out at 2pm? Feeling like you can’t break out of the chokehold that afternoon double shot iced latte has on your soul? Regardless of how much you sleep, you find yourself in a death spiral every afternoon delusional dreaming of how that extra caffeine will keep you going?
Did you know?
👉🏻 too much caffeine can spike your cortisol levels causing a disruption to your deep sleep
👉🏻 excess cortisol over time can lead to increased anxiety, belly fat & chronic fatigue
👉🏻 excessive caffeine can elevate your heart rate, make it harder to stay & fall asleep
👉🏻wreak havoc on your immune system & causes inflammation
But this naturally caffeine-free bevvy absolutely slaps, taste like chocolate milk & is packed with functional ingredients like lions mane, cacao & colostrum to give your brain a boost PLUS protect your immune system. (aka food with REAL benefits) I make this drink almost every day in the afternoon or evening, it feels so indulgent.
psss- It is also excellent iced. 🧊
