Chaga Chicory Breakfast Smoothie

If you like the taste of coffee, but don’t want all the ups and downs that come with its caffeine, Organic Chaga Chicory is your new best friend! This easy blender drink delivers a coffee-like flavor, and is a filling fiber-rich morning breakfast that provides long-lasting energy on-the-go. Banana brings a touch of natural sweetness, and the Organic Chaga Chicory adds a prebiotic boost.

The chia seeds and rolled oats really help to thicken this drink! Don’t be surprised if it thickens considerably with time. If you prefer a thin smoothie, drink immediately. If you prefer a thick smoothie, let it rest for a few minutes before enjoying.
