Reishi Chocolate Latte

April 13, 2016 By Hana 7 Comments

Reishi Chocolate Latte

I’ve realized that I have very little drinks on my blog and so today I’m sharing my new favourite comfort drink – Reishi Chocolate Latte. David Wolfe, the superfood guru keeps raving about reishi and chaga mushrooms and I finally got myself some reishi powder to try out. Reishi has fairly bitter taste and so I find you need some form of sweetener, but other than that I really love the taste. I don’t drink coffee and this latte makes a really great healthy alternative.

I’ve used almond milk in this recipe, but you could use other plant milk if you prefer. Gently warm the milk in a small pot and then blend in with the rest of the ingredients. Blending the latte in a blender makes it nice and frothy, but you can whisk it by hand too. Saves you washing the blender! The coconut butter makes it extra creamy and gives it more body, but if you don’t have any on hand, use some coconut oil instead. Lovely, cozy and comforting drink packed with superfoods.

      Thank you Rebecca! It took me a while to get myself some reishi mushrooms hearing about the benefits for quite a long time:) It makes a lovely drink and you can use them to make stock as well. x

    As I type this is am sipping on my first cup of this lovely latte. I didn’t have coconut milk so used coconut oil and it is heavenly! My local tea shop recently started offering these and selling small pouches of the reishi powder and this recipe tastes so much like the one from her shop (maybe even better but I won’t tell her that).
    Thank you :)

      Sorry, I meant that I didn’t have coconut butter and subbed the coconut oil instead.
      Absolutely delish!

        Hi Lisa, thank you so much for stopping by and leaving such a lovely comment! I’m so happy you’re enjoying the latte:) It’s a recipe that I’ve tried to re-create after having my first reishi cappuccino in a cafe too! I absolutely love it:)

    This looks great! I may sub with carob powder though since I’m pregnant. Apparently, reishi is supposed to make calm babies. Lol. A 3rd quiet one would be nice ( :
