Holistic and natural "focus cocktail"
This “bulletproof" chai tea enhances mental cognition and focus without overstimulating your nervous system. Here are the componants:
MCT Oil: MCT (medium-chain triglycerides) oil, similar to what's used in traditional bulletproof coffee, can provide a quick and clean source of energy for the brain. It's known to support mental clarity and focus.
Ashwagandha: This adaptogenic herb has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine to reduce stress and improve cognitive function. It may help with anxiety and overall mental well-being.
Lion's Mane Mushroom: Lion's Mane is a natural nootropic known for its potential to boost cognitive function, memory, and focus. You can find it in powdered form to add to your chai.
Rhodiola Rosea: Another adaptogen, Rhodiola, can help reduce fatigue and enhance alertness, making it a useful addition for a focus-oriented beverage.
Cinnamon: Apart from its delicious flavor, cinnamon may help stabilize blood sugar levels, preventing energy crashes that can lead to focus issues.
Almond or Coconut Milk: Opt for unsweetened versions of these plant-based milks to keep the drink low in sugar.
Stevia or Monk Fruit Sweetener: For a touch of sweetness without added sugar.
