I’ve loved this drink for many reasons and many years.  It’s original name is “Sex Coffee” *Blush*  now there’s nothing wrong with the word sex, I just prefer the word Foxy as it’s a bit more discreet. <3  Besides tasting like you stepped into Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory, it’s also supposed to boost your libido which is never a bad thing….wink wink.

Let’s look at what’s in it and see what all the hype is about.

Maca– a Peruvian herb, that is claimed to be an “aphrodisiac”, filled with incredible hormonal balancing properties through the enzymes it creates when ingested.   It also is claimed to both invigorate and energize you.

Coconut Milk– Full of yummy super fats, this wonder milk is claimed to also help with hormonal balancing, as well as immune boosting and disease fighting properties, it’s filled with a long list of vitamins noted as C, E, B1, B3, B5 and B6 and minerals including iron, selenium, sodium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorous.  I just want to have a constant supply of this stuff….it’s incredible to think it’s been created for our good…and wow how good it is indeed!! (Read more on the wonders of coconut milk here) .

Cocoa Powder–  Cocoa Powder provides fiber, iron and magnesium.  It also has antidepressant benefits with ability to boost endorphins and can boost serotonin.   There a legit reason to love love love your chocolate ladies.

Coffee– Loaded with antioxidants, boosts energy and can help you burn fat. (oh yeah baby!!!) Just one cup of coffee contains Riboflavin, Pantothenic Acid, Manganese, Potassium, Magnesium and Niacin.

Cinnamon– Claimed to help treat erectile dysfunction and lowering blood sugar are just two of the crazy list of things cinnamon is used for. It’s simply another wonder food God has made for our good. (read much more about the wonders of cinnamon here) 

**Updated Added Ingredient**

Collagen–  The benefits of collagen are so great, it lubricates joints, reduces inflammation, helps in healing injuries, builds connective tissue, it helps regulate the body’s metabolism, encourages hormone balance, it promotes skin, hair and nail, health and strength, and it’s great for your gut health..by improving digestion.  WOW, it’s just awesome.  Collagen will always be in a pantry of wonder foods.

So there you have it!  Health, energy, healing, balancing and libido boosting make this the drink that you’ve been waiting for.  So now that you know all that excellent information you need to run, not walk, into your kitchen and make this hot (pardon the pun) cup of Joe!

Ingredients:

2 Cups Coffee (strongly brewed)(I use this brand)

2 Tbsp Cocoa Powder (the darker the better)(I LOVE this brand)

1/2 Cup Coconut Milk (go with the full fat here folks) Native Forest and Trader Joe’s Light Coconut Milk are both BPA free brands.  For a reduced carb count use the coconut milk sold in the cartons similar to almond milk.

1 tsp Cinnamon

1 tsp Maca (Buy Here)

2-3 doonks of Stevia (Buy Here)

*** Updated Added Ingredient***

1.5 Tbsp Collagen (Buy Here)

Instructions:

Combine all ingredients except mama powder in a blender and blend for about 30-45 seconds, add maca then blend for another couple seconds and….drink up!! The rest is up to you.  😉
