 Peanut Butter Smoothie
With Lions Mane
Well it seems that peanut butter has made a comeback and Im not mad about it.
Its the perfect partner for chocolate and makes a chocolate smoothie pretty damn
next level. This smoothie blends the magick of frozen bananas ( who would have
thought they would replace icecream) with the power of raw cacao and the
mystical brain and mood boosting powers of our potent Lions Mane Extract.
Makes the perfect breakfast, snack or dessert

 Tropical Kava Shot
With Reishi
Oh kava , a strong skeletal muscle relaxant, anxiolytic and analgesic - it really is a
powerful herb for the tense and worried. Pity it tastes like it comes from the fiery
pits of peppery hell. This tropical shot almost covers up the taste of the kava and
provides the anti-inflammatory and warming benefits of ginger and turmeric and
utilizes the calming adaptogenic qualities of the lovely fungi - reishi. To get the
most out of this shot it is best served as a small shot which is drunk quickly before
waiting to see effects before having another.

RECIPE
1 cup water Mix the kava and water together
1 Tbsn Instant Kava ( I use until it dissolves. Add this into the
Kava Society) blender with the other

for the coffee, smoothie and shrooms fanatic.

RECIPE - MAKES 2 SERVES

2 large handfuls of greens

onto the inside of the glasses and
then pour the smoothie into the glass.
Top with cacao nibs and powder.
 Quick Switchel
With Chaga
Switchel is a traditional American thirst quenching drink consisting of ginger, maple,
apple cider vinegar and water. It was the OG gatorade for folks who worked in the
fields baling hay! You can make a concentrate by infusing chopped up ginger and
maple in apple cider vinegar for a few weeks but this is a quick and easy option using
ginger juice. I have blended in our favourite mineral and antioxidant rich mushroom -
chaga in this blend for extra energy and recovery.

½ cup apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup

juice in a large jug and stir until
maple syrup is dissolved.
To serve, dilute with soda water
and pour switchel into ice-filled
glasses; garnish with lemon and
lemon verbena or lemon balm.

opener and spirit hugger. This smoothie is a lovely, light and fragrant drink
which utilizes the great NZ summer harvest of strawberries.

the digestive system. This latte is intended as a sweet and dreamy sleep

 Calm Herb Tea
With Reishi
I have a wee garden I call my "calm the f*ck down garden. It contains my three
favourite calm herbs - California poppy, chamomile and the lovely lemon balm.
These herbs are not only easy to grow but also make beautiful fresh herb teas!

chamomile flowers and some lemon balm leaves made into a tea. I have added
the calming reishi as it resonates with these other three herbs and makes one
almost unflappable.

 Lavender Iced Tea

Oh lavender! As a child of the eighties, it took me a long time to be able to get
over the floral taste of this lovely calming flower. It always tasted like I was
drinking those pot pouri drawer fresheners! Im over that now and love the heady,
intense flavour of lavender and of course love its calming actions which wash
over you with its scent. It makes a beautiful calming afternoon mocktail when
blended with the colour changing chameleon flower - butterfly pea and the
calming fungi reishi. The syrup can be kept for a week in the fridge

Matcha has certainly had its time in the sun lately. Its not really surprising - it

Dandelion Ginger Latte
With Chaga
I collected dandelion roots in Autumn and roasted them and still have some coming
