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 ( :

Happy New Year beautiful! ✨ I’m feeling that Happy New Year beautiful! ✨

I’m feeling that this is the year we all need to ease into. Use this sacred pause we’re in until the 5th of January to really go within and listen deeply to what are you being called to birth this year. Forget creating goals from your ego. What are those whispers of your soul calling you to? Is it time to take the lead in your life? ✨

If this year is a continuation of 2020 we will need more conscious embodied leaders taking charge to create the change our planet needs. It’s us who create the future. ✨

Now that many of us are awake we need conscious women and men to walk together hand in hand! We’ve got this! 

✨🕊✨

Sending so much Love Hana xx

What dessert are you making this year? To be honest I’ve got my gingerbread cookies stored in fridge, the leftover chocolate cranberry orange cake in freezer so I’m quite sorted! But still pondering whether to make the gingerbread cheesecake. And just have written a new recipe for a lentil nut roast which I’m really looking forward to making on Christmas Day. 🎄
