Well, this is how I roll…. this recipe is chock full of amazing nutritional profiles and will GIVE YOU everything I just mentioned, guaranteed! If you have a questions, post it and I will be sure to answer! Now… get ready to FEAST!
~ Green Tea Cacao Mania ~
What you want to do FIRST is brew up 3 cups of Green Tea & Gynostemma. I use organic loose leaf tea that I place in a mason jar. I first pour enough COLD spring water to cover the herbs (about and inch of water to be sure that the hot water keeps from scalding them). Pour the rest of the hot spring water, over the cold water and herbs, filling up mason jar. Cover, and let steep for 10 minutes.
NEXT strain tea and pour into blender adding these ingredients:
(Note: All ingredients are organic, non-GMO, and/or wildcrafted)
*Arriba Raw Cacao Paste (1/4 of a square)
*1 TBL Mucuna Extract
*2 TBL Maca Powder
*1 TBL Cinnamon Powder
*1 tsp Bee Mana
*1 tsp Bee Pollen
*1 tsp Lions Mane Extract
*1/8 tsp Reishi Extract
*2 TBL Xylitol
*2 TBL Raw Honey
Blend and serve!!!
(Note: this makes 2 – 3 servings. Although if your bad a** you can drink the whole thing… watch out 
) Remember to let the tea cool slightly … warm enough to melt the Arriba cacao paste & cool enough so as to keep the integrity of the ingredients.)
** You can find most of the ingredients listed above at the Longevity Warehouse, although the special medicinal mushroom extracts I am using are coming soon to the public from Immortality Alchemy!

Wow- this sounds wild, Gabrielle.
I think I gather what the other ingredients are for/do, but can you explain the benefits of the Mucuna Extract and the Maca Powder?
Also- do you have any ideas about any of the specific nutritional fact profile for this?
thanks!
Hi Michael. It’s wild for sure and will keep you going for the day. Maca is a root that focuses on the endocrine system. It will help balance your hormones, keep you virile, offer sustainable energy, and is great just before work outs as well. Back in the day the Incan warriors used to take it before battle because it was know to “make then strong”
Mucuna on the other hand is a bean and a great source of L Dopa. It is great to add to smoothies that have any kind of stimulant (chocolate, maca, etc) as it quite literally takes the edge off. It has been known to greatly help people with Parkinson’s in relieving the shakes. As far as a nutritional profile, I can only offer you what I know in the way of certain vitamins and minerals that each ingredient offers. Thanks for commenting!
Hi Gab
How much Gynostemma should I use? I think I only have the powder in that? This sounds great and can’t wait to try it! xo
HI! When you make the 3 cups of tea, use a TBL of green tea leaves and a TBL of gynostemma leaves. That will brew nicely.
Wow Gabrielle this looks and sounds amazing!!
Gynostemma and green are a couple of my favourite teas.
Mucuna is something I’ve heard a lot of great things about – I’m going to pick some up and give it a whirl!
This drink definitely has everything you need to get your day off on the right foot – Thanks for sharing
