- 1 teaspoon winter cherry, the Ayuervedic remedy for a fast but natural pick me up. Also known as Indian ginsing.
- 1 teaspoon baobab powder which is a powerhouse of vitamins; nutritents; dietry fibres and them some.
- ¼ teaspoon organic cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons organic coconut oil which consists almost entirely of the saturated fatty acids, lauric acid and myristic acid. This medium chain fatty acid is a good saturated fat and helps to maintain a healthy heart; cholestral and thyroid functioning as well as being an amazing immune booster.
