Adaptogen Coco-Coffee
Ingredients(Makes 2 servings) 12 oz. freshly brewed coffee 8 oz. homemade coconut milk (can substitute canned) 1 tsp. Ashwagandha powder (can substitute the Ashwagandha Transcendent Elixir for an even smoother result) 1 tsp. Pearl powder 1-2 dates (optional, for sweetness) |
MethodBrew coffee using your favorite method; we like using a pour-over technique. In a separate container, blend or whisk coconut milk, Ashwagandha and Pearl. If using dates for sweetener, you’ll want to use a blender until the milk is smooth and creamy. Add coconut milk to coffee, top with cacao powder if desired and enjoy! |
This recipe can also be adapted into an iced version, which we often prefer in the tropical island climate. We use cold brew coffee, which is lower in acid. Add ice and shake before serving (for a stronger version) or blend for a frappuccino-style.
Post-Surf Açaí Bowl
Ingredients(Makes 1-2 servings) 2 frozen packets unsweetened Açaí 1 young coconut (or 2 cups store-bought coconut water) ½ tsp. Chlorella ½ tsp. Mucuna Pruriens powder ½ tsp. Moringa 1 frozen banana and one ripe (we use local apple-bananas, which are tangy and sweet) 3-4 strawberries 2 tbsp. Goji Berries (or to taste) 1 tbsp. Bee Pollen 1 tbsp. Cacao Nibs, unsweetened 1 tbsp. Bio-Active Honey |
MethodBlend açaí, frozen banana and coconut water until smooth. Start with as little liquid as possible and slowly add to desired consistency. The açaí base should be thick and creamy. Add Chlorella, Mucuna Pruriens and Moringa and blend until just mixed, only a few seconds. Pour the base into a bowl and arrange toppings over it. Get creative! We used what was local and in-season for this version, and encourage you to do the same. A few other fruit topping ideas: fresh mango, blueberries, raspberries, passion fruit, or starfruit. Sprinkle with coconut flakes, cacao nibs, and goji berries Drizzle with Bio-Active Honey |
If you want a more filling bowl, add some of your favorite granola and drizzle with a nut butter. Açaí is rich in antioxidants, and pairs beautifully with the green depth of Chlorella and Moringa alongside Mucuna Pruriens.
Sunset Hibiscus Citrus Cooler
Ingredients(Makes ~9 servings) ¼ cup dried hibiscus* ¼ cup Bio-Active Honey 3 large lemons or limes (can substitute ½ cup pre-squeezed or store-bought juice) 3 full droppers Mucuna Pruriens Transcendent Elixir 8 cups water |
MethodSteep dried hibiscus in 2 cups of hot water for about 4 minutes, or until you get a rich crimson color. Juice the citrus in a separate container, and pour into the steeped hibiscus tea. Add the remaining cold or room temperature water and mix well with a large wooden spoon or whisk. Pour in Honey to taste, and whisk until completely dissolved. Place ice in each glass (adding it to the main container will dilute) and then pour and enjoy! |
*We used hibiscus dried locally, but you can also get it in most grocery stores — check the international aisle or bulk tea sections. Don’t use hibiscus harvested from the wild unless you know what you are looking for: the varietal used for tea is different from ornamental hibiscus. Hibiscus has been enjoyed as a tart, ruby-red cooling brew in kitchens around the world for centuries.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the coco-coffee iced?
Yes — use cold brew, add ice and shake before serving for a stronger version, or blend it for a frappuccino texture.
What goes into the post-surf açaí bowl?
Frozen açaí and banana blended with coconut water, then Chlorella, Mucuna Pruriens and Moringa pulsed in at the end so they stay vivid.
Where do I find dried hibiscus?
Most grocery stores carry it — check the international aisle or the bulk tea section. Avoid wild-harvested hibiscus unless you can identify the tea varietal.
How many does the cooler serve?
About nine glasses. Ice the glasses individually rather than the pitcher, so it doesn't dilute.
