We’re back for day 2 of Elixir Blends 101 answering more of your general questions about our Elixirs, and later this week we’ll dish out the goods on each blend! ℚ: 𝔸𝕣𝕖 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝔼𝕝𝕚𝕩𝕚𝕣𝕤 𝕚𝕟𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕟𝕥 𝕝𝕒𝕥𝕥𝕖𝕤? ℍ𝕠𝕨 𝕕𝕠 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕦𝕤𝕖 𝕥𝕙𝕖𝕞? Countless ways! Our Elixirs are super-versatile powders + easy to add to your daily routine. They’re not strictly “instant lattes” as they don’t contain milk powder (more on that below), but they do make delicious lattes! 🍵 blend with hot/cold milk to make a hot/iced latte 🍹 add to smoothies 🥣 add to your favorite foods (yogurt, oatmeal, chia pudding, baked goods + more) ℚ: ℍ𝕠𝕨 𝕠𝕗𝕥𝕖𝕟 𝕤𝕙𝕠𝕦𝕝𝕕 𝕀 𝕦𝕤𝕖 𝕥𝕙𝕖𝕞 𝕥𝕠 𝕘𝕖𝕥 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕓𝕖𝕟𝕖𝕗𝕚𝕥𝕤? If used occasionally, you’ll benefit from the nutrients + certain functional benefits (e.g. alertness, antioxidants and digestive support). But for adaptogenic support, consistent use is required because: 💪 Just like one workout won’t make you fit, adaptogens strengthen your body’s resilience to stress over time 💪 This resilience doesn’t have “memory”, so daily use is needed to maintain this effect See yesterday’s post for more about adaptogens! ℚ: 𝔸𝕣𝕖 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝔼𝕝𝕚𝕩𝕚𝕣𝕤 𝕤𝕨𝕖𝕖𝕥𝕖𝕟𝕖𝕕? Nope! Their mild sweetness is from the delicious herbs + spices, but we don’t add sweeteners so as not to dictate sweetness level for you. Many customers find the flavor perfectly balanced as-is, but you can add any sweetener of choice if you’ve got a sweet tooth 😉 We also didn’t want you to worry if you avoid certain sweeteners (e.g. cane sugar, stevia, erythritol)! ℚ: 𝕊𝕠𝕞𝕖 𝕝𝕒𝕥𝕥𝕖 𝕓𝕝𝕖𝕟𝕕𝕤 𝕔𝕠𝕟𝕥𝕒𝕚𝕟 𝕞𝕚𝕝𝕜 𝕡𝕠𝕨𝕕𝕖𝕣𝕤. 𝕎𝕙𝕪 𝕕𝕠𝕟’𝕥 𝕁𝕆𝕐À’𝕤? Our Elixirs are 100% pure. However, milk powders contain Maltodextrin, an artificially produced powder derived from starch (commonly corn, potato or tapioca) which is needed to prevent clumping. Plus, Maltodextrin has been shown to cause gastrointestinal symptoms, and can spike blood sugar levels. Also, when making a latte with our blends, we’d rather let you use your milk of choice. And milk-free means you can add them to countless recipes!
