3 Simple Recipes for More Energy

Feeling lethargic? Try one of these chaga-based beverages. Ahead, we’re sharing three ways to incorporate the ingredient into your daily routine. “Chaga is an adaptogen known for its anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties. Adaptogens work by bringing the body back into homeostasis. For example, if you feel drained, they can boost your energy levels; if you feel anxious, adaptogens can bring a sense of relaxation,” one of our amazing recipe contributors, Nikki Elisheva, shares (along with her delicious chaga hot chocolate concoction—see below).

Learn this recipe plus two other ways to add the natural caffeine alternative to your morning or afternoon ritual.
