About the recipe
If you know me, you know I’m a big smoothie fan, but sometimes when it’s cooler outside I crave a warm mug in my hands.
I didn’t want to trade in all of the nutritional benefits of my usual morning Super Smoothie for that warm drink, so I created this Superfood Coffee to fight cancer and beat disease in a warm morning beverage.
This drink is so delicious that even non-coffee drinkers will crave it. Plus it’s packed with antioxidants (not sure why that’s awesome, check out this blog).
Not to mention, is made with 100% cacao powder, a known cancer fighter and disease protector. There is no sugar or milk in this rich flavored beverage packed with natural ingredients that are loaded with healing nutrients.
Wanting to make my Superfood Coffee perfectly at home, I started my search for the best, healthiest brew with the great flavor. I needed just the right equipment and wanted the full experience of grinding my beans fresh each day. I ordered a very simple grinder that allows me to get just the right grind for the brewing of this drink.
Typically, coffee irritates my stomach, so I wanted to find beans that were fresh roasted, organic grown so I wasn’t adding more pesticides to my diet, and beans that were low acid.
Check out the links below for the equipment, coffee beans and seasonings that I chose for my kitchen and morning coffee. I’ve researched and found the best of the best!
There’s many ways to brew coffee, so for this Superfood Coffee I researched what would be the best for the taste, my health, and lowering the acidity of the drink. I landed on the pour over brewing method. This healthy brewing process, if done correctly, meets all of my requirements for the best brewing experience.
Not only does pour over allow me to brew coffee well, I can steep the green tea with the coffee grounds together. The pour over method is also one of the fastest and most economical methods to make great coffee. You can create coffee that is soft and well balanced with just the right flavor.
The key to the perfect cup is great quality beans freshly ground to a medium fine grind and water at 205 degrees F. The rate and speed that the water passes over the coffee grounds matters too.
Too fast and the coffee will taste sour and watery and too slow of a pour will create over extraction of the coffee and taste very acidic. When you get the right pour over equipment with a flat bottom funnel for brewing just right, you will enjoy fresh tasting coffee that is clear, no sediment, lower natural oils, low cost, and faster brewing time.
Your Superfood Coffee can be a warm morning beverage or poured over a large glass full of ice to turn it into an Iced Superfood Coffee. Whichever way you choose to enjoy it, you can feel good knowing your body was just supercharged with healing antioxidants that reduce inflammation in the body with a delicious, naturally calorie free beverage.

What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

My favorite ingredients:
My favorite coffee is made by Lifeboost coffee. They make delicious, low acid, organic coffee that is freshly roasted after you place your order and ship directly to your door. Their low acid coffee is really great for people who are more sensitive to the acidity in most coffee. The organic beans promise to remove the pesticides that are prominent in typical coffee beans. Get your Lifeboost beans here: https://lifeboostcoffee.com/
They also make a Swiss water decaf coffee that is organic and lower acid that is another one of my favorites since I make my coffee half caff - 50% caffeinated beans and 50% non-caffeinated beans.
My favorite Lifeboost coffee is the dark roast beans from Africa:

My favorite cinnamon is Simply Organic ground Ceylon Cinnamon: https://a.co/d/0Eiz8id
My favorite cocoa powder is Navitas Cacao powder organic, nonGMO: https://a.co/d/iGTquAi
My favorite green tea flavor is Pinhead Gunpowder. Green Tea Loose leaf made by Organically Positive Tea on Amazon is where I order mine. This is a strong flavor green tea that delivers a high concentration of antioxidants, which makes this coffee especially beneficial. Order green tea on Amazon: https://a.co/d/2DhnQTp

You absolutely know how to keep your readers interest with your witty thoughts on that topic. I was looking for additional resources, and I am glad I came across your site. Feel free to check my website <a href="https://stoerticker.de/link?url=http://webemail24.com/your-guide-to-email-marketing">Webemail24</a> about Bitcoin.
-It's great to have you visit the site. There are many free resources and a membership. Check out Dr. Cheryl Wellness on instagram for more posts on my nutrition and wellness method.
We read on line that bananas will cancel out the goodness of the other fruits and veggies. Is this true?
-I am a fan of bananas. They get a bad rap on social media with those focused on carbs being bad and looking at continuous blood sugar monitoring. Bananas are a whole plant food loaded with soluble fiber. Soluble fiber helps us bind and delay the surge of blood sugar to improve insulin resistance and helps to keep us full AND removes cholesterol from our body. When we eat bananas as part of a meal or snack that has protein and healthy plant fats, we can get all the wins of bananas with high fiber and healthy carbs and not end up with a blood sugar spike from that meal. For athletes and those exercising regularly, bananas are a great way to fuel the body and replenish the muscle fuel glycogen. So if you are moving and eating healthy meals, bananas can be part of your diet and wellness routine. They are personally one of my favorite fast foods to eat.
Here is my problem- I am a Type I diabetic and 74 grams (in my experience- a recent diagnosis) would take a lot of short acting units of insulin 4 units for 80 grams. I’m concerned about this. Wonder is this is the program for me?
-I specialize in diabetes care and have helped hundreds of people with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. There is 74 grams of total carbs in this smoothie and 23 grams of these carbs are from fiber since the ingredients are all whole plant foodsI What we teach in Dr. Cheryl Wellness is how to count carbs and focus medication dosages on NET carbs - so this smoothie as it is has 51g of net carbs and this is a full meal replacement that will keep you full for 4 hours. So if you need 1 unit of short acting insulin for every 20 grams of carbohydrate (as you noted in your comment your Rx is with type 1 diabetes), you would need 2.5 units of insulin for this full meal smoothie. I help members adapt a meal plan and wellness routine that works for them even with type 1 diabetes. People with Type 1 Diabetes, you can become insulin resistant and so it takes both food and lifestyle habits to help you become more insulin sensitive and at the same time not let you miss out one getting the healthy antioxidants you need to combat other diseases, have a healthy gut, and add more healthy years. You get these protective antioxidants from whole fruits and vegetables and too many health professionals are stripping these away from those with diabetes with the siloed focus of blood sugar and not exploring ways your body can maximize on all the benefits of whole fruits and vegetable and whole food carbohydrates, protein and fat and at the same time balance your blood sugar to optimize your insulin dosage. For you, I would suggest adding 10 more grams of protein to this smoothie in the form of 1/4 cup more of nuts or adding greek non-fat yogurt or a scoop of pea or whey protein powder if you prefer. I will work with you in my membership to find the right formula for each of your meals so you can optimize your nutrition and balance your blood sugar.

Hello Dr. Cheryl! I would love to try this recipe, but the list of ingredients is incomplete as written. Just thought you should know!

My husband was diagnosed with early onset Parkinson’s disease at 67. His symptoms were shuffling of feet, slurred speech, low volume speech, degradation of handwriting, horrible driving skills, and his right arm is held at 45 degree angle. He was placed on Sinemet for 7 months and then Sifrol and rotigotine were introduced which replaced the Sinemet but he had to stop due to side effects. We tried every shot available but nothing was working. There has been little if any progress in finding a reliable treatment, he has to quit his meds due to side effects. Our care provider introduced us to Aknni Herbs Centre Parkinson’s herbal treatment. The treatment is a miracle. My husband has recovered significantly! Visit their website at www.aknniherbscentre.com
I am very glad your husband is doing better and finding some solutions for his condition. Great to have you visit Dr. Cheryl Wellness website where my mission is to help you create a diet and wellness routine that combats disease and add more healthy years to your life.
