Since Octave got a fancy coffee machine, I've been looking for alternatives to coffee he could still have fun with to make me lattes in the morning.

My current faves: matcha, homemade chai, turmeric.

I was recently sent the Nourish My Brain Blend by Seattle-based and black-owned brand Peak + Valley and added it to my rotation.

The Nourish My Brain Blend is a caramel-tasting herbal blend packed with potent adaptogenic herbs (Ashwagandha) and mushrooms (Lion's Mane, Snow Mushroom).

It was created to help "avoid distractions during long meetings, powering through an afternoon of creative time, or just helping you stay sharp..."

I usually add a teaspoon of the blend to my morning cup of oat milk and love the earthy taste! I've been slowly switching to sugar-free morning blends and this one does not disappoint.

Peak and Valley is available Whole Foods or online at peakandvalleyco. Use code “CONSCIOUSCHLOE5” for $5 off
