Maca
- For energy, hormone balance and mood support
Forget the jittery caffeine rush. Maca gives you a smoother, more balanced energy. It's loaded with minerals that support hormone balance and mood, making it perfect for those 3 p.m slumps or early morning gym sessions.
How to add it: 1/2 tsp into your espresso or protein coffee. Slightly nutty and caramel like, blends well with oat or almond milk.
MCT Oil
- For Focus & Brain Power
Derived from coconut oil, MCTs (medium-chain triglycerides) help boost mental clarity and sustained energy without the crash. Just a teaspoon blended into your coffee can support brain function and fuel your morning.
How to add it: Start small (1 tsp) Blend into hot coffee for a creamy texture, or shake it into iced coffee.
Collagen
- For Gut Health & Glowing Skin
Collagen is tasteless, protein- rich supplement that supports joint, gut, and skin health. Add a scoop to your hot and cold brew for a wellness boost - it dissolves easily and pairs well with any flavor. It even makes your coffee extra creamy without dairy.
How to add it: 1 scoop in your hot or iced coffee - bonus if it's a vanilla or chocolate flavour blend.
Lion's Mane Mushroom
- For Cognitive Function
This adaptogenic mushroom is known for supporting memory and focus. It has a mild earthy flavor and can be added as a powder to your coffee or used in superfood blends. Include this to your morning blends to support your brain health and mental clarity - it's a perfect add-on for workdays.
How to add it: 1/2 tsp powder to your morning brew or protein smoothie. Earthy taste, but disappears with cocoa or nut milk.
Cinnamon
- For Blood Sugar Balance
A pinch of cinnamon not only tastes amazing - it can also help stabilize blood sugar levels, reduce inflammation, and give your brew a cozy kick. It adds a natural sweetness with zero sugar.
Whether you're looking for more energy, focus or gut support- supercharging your coffee is easier than you think.
How to add it: Sprinkle on top or mix 1/4 tsp into your brew before frothing milk
