I’ve had my fair share of morning concoctions. Mostly all caffeine-based, but since my doctor told me to avoid all caffeinated beverages, I had to find another way to start my day. I tried decaf espresso, and it’s great for when I’m traveling but not sustainable for me. I also want to avoid all of those nasty “de-caffing” chemicals.

A few years ago, I tried Mudwtr, so I thought I would revisit it as an option. I’m happy I did. Mudwtr is full of great stuff – Marsala Chai, reishi, Lion’s Mane, cacao, and more. And bonus – it only has 1/7 the caffeine of coffee, so it doesn’t give me the caffeine shakes afterward. Boom! We’re in business, folks!

Ok, full disclosure, I’m bougie and have a very high maintenance latte, so I’m not just drinking Mudwtr and water. I want the first thing I consume to set me up for the day, so I add a little of this and a little of that. Giddy up, we have a lot to cover.

• • 1 tbsp & a half of Mudwtr (bc 1 tbsp isn’t enough)
  • 1 scoop of Paleo Valley bone broth collagen (for collagen plus the protein holds me over until brekkie)
  • 1/4 teaspoon of Astragalus (for immunity)
  • 1/2 teaspoon of Ashwagandha (for stress)
  • 1/2 of a date (for sweetness)
  • 1/2 tbsp coconut butter (to help slow down my caffeine absorption)
  • 1/8 cup of oat milk (just cause)

Add boiling water to your mug. Pour water into a blender with the above ingredients, and blend.

This isn’t sponcon. Just wanted to share.
