tocos mocha latte
what if I told you there was a delicious, chocolatey, nutritious coffee beverage that could provide anti inflammatory benefits, deliver minerals to your body, improve your mood (more that a cup of coffee normally does), enhance your sex drive and boost your daily intake of vitamin e, which serves as an incredible antioxidant as well as promoting skin and hair health?!
this creamy, chocolate superfood latte incorporates three of my favorite superfoods - tocos (or tocotrienols), maca root and cacao.
tocos is a form of the fat soluble vitamin e ( read more about vitamin e here) and is typically derived from rice bran. tocos provides the creamy texture in this beverage. you can buy it in powder form and it dissolves easily into liquids
maca is a root that grows in peru and is responsible for the mood enhancing effects of this beverage. maca powder tends to have a super earthy flavor profile, so if you have more of a sweet tooth I would suggest adding a natural sweetener such as honey, maple syrup or coconut sugar.
cacao is what gives the drink its chocolatey flavor as well as serving as an amazing source of the minerals magnesium and iron.
the combination of these superfoods provides a great taste and texture alongside coffee while also delivering an insane amount of health benefits and nutrition.
