it’s not your typical kitchen

There aren’t white coats, beakers and Bunsen burners. But the kitchen is our nutrition lab where we are sampling, steeping, blending, brewing, baking and cooking with dozens of ingredients. Guinea pigs - unsuspecting kids and dinner guests. Lab equipment - whirring blenders and mixers, coffee machines and tea infusers.  Here, we’ve made some masterpieces and some really yucky things. Inside is the perfect blend of curiosity, playfulness, and the passionate pursuit of food as medicine. You’ll get to taste what we’re experimenting routinely and be part of the discovery process for our next products.

Ingredients: organic raw cacao powder, organic coconut milk powder, coffee fruit cascara powder

Phytonutrients: Raw cacao (unprocessed cocoa) is one of the highest sources of polyphenols of all foods. Studies show it opens up your blood vessels to get blood flowing to your brain. Coconut milk has MCTs (medium chain triglycerides) that fuel your brain and studies show may improve memory and mental performance. Coffee fruit has been shown to increases a protein called Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), often called “miracle grow for the brain.”

What we love: Add this to your coffee to fire up your brain and get you ready for a day awesome.

(Why #4? Cacao has 4X the polyphenols of even 100% dark chocolate.)

Ingredients:  Cascara (dried coffee fruit), Hibiscus, Strawberry Leaf

Phytonutrients:  We know, roast and love the bean, but there is another part of coffee that is super-nourishing - the fruit. Coffee fruit has been shown to increase a protein called Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) colloquially known as “miracle grow for the brain.”  It also has a massive concentration of antioxidants like chlorogenic acid that is known to lower blood pressure, aid in weight loss, and act as an anti-inflammatory.  While we love our luscious strawberries, the leaves are packed with antioxidants as well.

What we love:  Not just super-healthy, but super-sustainable.  Coffee fruit is often discarded  at coffee farms for the more valuable bean inside.
