Happy MORSELICIOUS MONDAY!

How was your weekend?
I LOVE hearing from you and was thrilled to hear that so many of you tried the

quinoa pasta per Reece’s guest post.  Many of you also told me you tried his icy cocoa! 🙂
This makes me HAPPY! 🙂 Please keep your questions and comments coming!

I surprised my parents for their 49th anniversary and we had a grand weekend!

There are pros and cons to drinking coffee and numerous studies prove both sides.

Read the coffee debate on the Huffington Post http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/19/is-coffee-bad-for-you_n_1895557.html 

For some people, a cup a day may be fine, for others, it may not be. And still, for some, a pot of coffee a day is generally NOT a good thing. If you are trying to quit coffee cold turkey, wean back on your coffee consumption or just want a coffee free alternative, have I got some cool beans for you!

Try my CUPPA “MOJO” and play with adding your favorite spices. 

Ingredients

1-2 TBSP granulated chicory root

1-2 TBSP high quality unsweetened cacao or cocoa

1-2 cupswater

1/2 cup milk of choice

dash of cinnamon, nutmeg, tumeric or ginger for spicier blend

What you will need

Coffee or espresso pot

Small saucepan

Mug

Frother (optional, but SO fun & fancy)

Directions:

Place 1-2 scoops of chicory root  with 1-2 cups water,

depending how strong you like your brew.

(I like mine extra strong, so I use 2 scoops of chicory to 1 cup of water)

Brew in a coffee pot, so you still “feel” the cup o’ joe  with Mo experience.

For a spicier blend, I add my spices of choice to the grounds before brewing..extra MORSELICIOUSness!

In your favorite mug, add 1 heaping spoonful of unsweetened cocoa/cacao.

I prefer a higher quality cocoa or cacao (less acidic and more superfood benefits)

In a small saucepan, steam ½ cup unsweetened almond or coconut milk. (or milk of choice)

I use a frother to make it fancy.

Once the milk bubbles and froths to your liking, pour into

Mug filled with cocoa powder, then add brewed chicory root.

Mmmmm

Coming from an EX-TRIPLE ESPRESSO addict, this satisfies my

MORSELICIOUS taste buds and the gentler caffeine from the

Cocoa kicks enough buzz with added benefits such as, magnesium, fiber, antioxidants and many essential minerals including iron.

Chicory root fiber is a common coffee alternative and contains inulin, sweet tasting fiber gaining popularity in many natural food products. This was very popular as a coffee alternative during the Great Depression and other times of economic crisis.
