If you are like most everyone I know, getting a healthy start first thing in the morning seems to be more work and hassle than it’s worth, especially when you have a full day ahead. Eating healthy in the morning typically means cooking, followed by cleaning, using lots of ingredients and takes too much time. If you’re looking for something quick, nutritious, super healthy and filling - I have the perfect solution! Prasada is a hot new raw, vegan, gf, soy-free superfood & adaptogen powder that makes it incredibly easy to drink your day’s worth of nutrition in one sitting. Plus, it’s loaded with everything you could want to start your day: organic plant protein (12g per serving), antioxidant-based adaptogens, super greens, sea vegetables, probiotics, bitter melon…and the list goes on! This wont necessarily replace your caffeine fix BUT it’s a delicious and easy way to get your morning started.
Almeda Labs is the creator of this wonder product and I’ve been obsessed with the cacao flavor for my morning lattes.
Here’s my go-to morning Prasada Latte recipe. Warning - you’re going to love this product
1 heaping scoop, or more, of the Prasada powder (either the regular or Cacao flavor)
1 cup milk (I prefer almond or macadamia milk, but use any kind you’d like)
1 teaspoon unsweetened coconut milk, hardened portion towards top of the can (optional)
1/4 cup water
Cinnamon, to taste
Turmeric
A crack of freshly ground black pepper
Anything else you’d like to add (MCT oil, coconut oil, matcha or splash of coffee, etc.)
Method
In a small to medium saucepan, warm the milk and water gently over low heat. Add the hard coconut milk (optional), and Prasada, whisking well to combine. Add the cinnamon, turmeric, and crack of fresh *black pepper, keep whisking together.
*Black pepper, when combined with turmeric, helps the curcumin, the healthy compound found in turmeric, absorb into the body by up to 2,000%.
Taste and adjust as necessary. Add any other ingredients you’d like. If you’re looking for a caffeine buzz, add a little matcha green tea or even a splash of coffee.
