Chaga Hot Chocolate

Have you heard of Chaga? It’s a superior medicinal mushroom that boasts phytonutrients, amino acids, and incredible immune support.

Usually, I’m not a fan of mushrooms.

 

 

I know, I know.

They are such fun guys … get it?

Fungi?

Haha!

So how do you drink Chaga?

Take these beautiful, dried shrooms and turn them into Chaga Hot Chocolate? Then I’m on it like a dirty mushroom.

I have to thank my best friend Julie for introducing me to the wonders of Chaga!

On a recent girls weekend she generously gifted me with a number of goodies, one being a bag of Chaga mushroom tea.

She’s in the throws of earning her university degree ( while simultaneously being a wife and mom of two ) and this tea has been a lifesaver for her, keeping her immune system up and her energy firing on all cylinders.

Considering the stretch of rainy, grey weather we’ve been experiencing  (hello Vancouver winter!), I promptly decided on a warming Chaga Hot Chocolate for my foray into the world of mushroom teas.

First thing I did was to brew the tea.

Easy enough, right?

Meanwhile, on the stove, I heated up some luscious coconut milk. For this you can really use any milk you want. I decided on coconut milk to keep things dairy free and add as much creaminess to my hot chocolate as I could.

Inspired by my bulletproof coffee, I tossed the tea, milk, and the rest into my blender for a quick buzz then poured it promptly into my mug.

Let me tell you folks, it was frothy, creamy deliciousness.

A super tasty way to give yourself a natural boost.

Indulging with no guilt is a wonderful thing. 🙂

Enjoy!

    1. It depends what they are mixed with but on their own the tea has an earthy taste to it. 🙂 So healthy!!

  1. This looks lovely! I’m a bulletproof coffee addict so this speaks to me! My first experience with chaga was when a wonderful neighbor heard I was feeling unwell and dropped off some chaga in my mailbox!

  2. This looks and sounds incredible! I’ve never heard of chaga mushroom tea, but I’ll be taking a look for it now! Happy Friday!
