“Wholesome and cozy wakeup ritual beverage”
“I gave up coffee about a year ago because it started giving me palpitations and a jittery feeling, and ever since I have been on the hunt to find a morning beverage that I can actually look forward to drinking. I’ve tried all the chicory root and dandelion blends out there without really liking any of them, and tea just didn’t give me the feeling I was looking for. I was about to give up when I found The Morning Motivator and all I can say is YAY! This is quite good! I find I add a bit more than the 1 tbsp. serving suggestion to get the punch of flavor I am looking for, but the drink is thick and creamy and I top it off with a few pinches of cayenne pepper for an extra kick. I feel good, none of those jittery caffeine feelings that coffee gives me, yet I still get the cozy feeling and boost I need with a morning drink ritual.”

A Different Kind of Morning
Are Coffee’s Days Numbered?
What if you could enjoy your morning ritual just as much without coffee?
There’s something wonderful about that first warm drink of the day. But for some people, coffee’s caffeine comes with jitters, nervousness, digestive discomfort, or trouble sleeping.
Giving up coffee can feel like giving up one of life’s little pleasures. That’s exactly why we created The Morning Motivator.
It’s not herbal tea trying to taste like coffee. And it’s not ordinary hot chocolate. It’s a delicious, satisfying maca-cacao drink with a character all its own.
A morning drink you’ll actually look forward to.
What Goes In
Five Simple, Organic Ingredients
Nothing artificial. Just carefully selected whole foods that complement each other in flavor and nutrition.
Organic Raw Cacao
Rich, delicious chocolate character, along with naturally occurring cocoa polyphenols.
Organic Raw Mesquite
Subtly sweet and nutty, with a mellow flavor that brings the blend together.
Original Blend onlyOrganic Raw Lucuma
A traditional Peruvian fruit with a naturally mellow sweetness.
Original Blend onlyOrganic Coconut Sugar
Adds just enough sweetness to complement the cacao and maca.

Hot, Cold, Your Way
So Delicious, You May Forget About Coffee
It doesn’t matter how nourishing a drink is if you don’t enjoy drinking it.
The rich chocolate flavor of cacao, combined with earthy maca and nutty mesquite, tastes more like a sophisticated hot cocoa than a typical nutritional powder.

Iced Chocolate DrinkBlend with cold milk and ice.
