This is what WINTER tastes like!

Want something sweet and delicious to keep in the fridge over the holidays that won't land you on your nutritionist's naughty list?

We've got the perfect (guilt-free) medicinal mushroom upgraded holiday snack that tastes more like a treat from the North Pole! Lion's Mane, cocoa, and mint - OH MY!

Our DELICIOUS mushroom powered recipe for the holidays, will have you wanting dessert first! We're not judging if this is how you get your mushroom supplements in over the holidays. Adding brain boosting mushroom extracts (like the Lion's Mane found in all three Everblends) to your recipes is a great way to invite wellness to your busy days when the calendar gets crazy.

This "better-for-you-treat" is a Team Eversio FAVE and we are so glad it's back in season. With cashews, cocoa, candy cane bits, and mushroom extracts - it's all things holidays in every energy packed bite!

Watch the video of our fabulous foodie friend, Jwala Taylor, making this recipe HERE with our Awaken Blend in its "retro" packaging - a blast from the past!

Make these as an act of self-love.  Then, ditch the boxed chocolates and serve these mushroom infused upgrades when it's time for festive treats! SO YUMMY!

DIRECTIONS

Add first 8 ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend until combined on medium speed. Add in coconut oil and blend again until mixture sticks together.

Using a medium cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop the mixture and roll into a ball. Continue with the remaining mixture and place onto a parchment lined cookie sheet or plate.
