Coco Calm Probiotic Iced Espresso with Calming Adaptogens

Looking for a refreshing drink that’s not just tasty but also packed with health benefits? This Probiotic Iced Espresso with Coco Calm is the perfect blend of flavor and wellness. It's an energizing, gut-friendly beverage that you can enjoy anytime you need a pick-me-up.

Ingredients:

• 2 shots of espresso (can also use cold brew or coffee)
• 1 tablespoon of Coco Calm Drinking Chocolate*
• 1/4 cup of your favorite yogurt (Greek, coconut, almond, etc.)
• 1/4 cup of water
• Ice cubes
• Sweetener of choice (optional)

* We used the drinking chocolate that we made the night before. You can also whip up some on the spot to use. If this is the case, we'd just add a teaspoon of Cocoa Calm directly to your espresso and mix.

Instructions:

1. Brew your espresso and mix it with the Coco Calm Drinking Chocolate until fully combined. The bold flavor of espresso pairs perfectly with the earthy notes from these mushrooms, giving the drink a rich, robust taste.

2. In a separate bowl, mix the yogurt with water until it reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.

3. Combine the thinned yogurt with the espresso mixture, giving your drink a creamy, tangy twist and a probiotic boost.

4. Sweeten to taste with your preferred sweetener if needed.

5. Pour the mixture over ice and stir until chilled.

6. Enjoy immediately, savoring each sip knowing you’re nourishing your body with every drop!
