This may just be the healthiest version of a latte ever.
Chaga lives and grows in the magical woods of the deep boreal, forming on the mighty birch trees, tended to in the night by pixies and gnomes. Well, that last part isn't true, but you'd think it was given its equally magical fungal powers. This wild-harvested delight is thought to be, in some circles, the latest anti-cancer miracle food. Ultra high in antioxidants and immune activators, a daily dose does a body good.
Combine it with heart healthy and fibrous nuts and seeds, naturally sweet dates and a helping of cinnamon – and shazaam! – a concoction even better than fairy dust.
