Britt's Superfood Coffee Recipe

Several of you are very familiar with my Morning Coffee Replacement cacao beverage and trust me, that is still a favorite!  However, I found that I was really missing coffee. When had with intention I actually find the ritual of morning coffee to be very nourishing on a mind body soul level, when not done in excess or out of need. It should be done out of desire for a comforting mug rather than a liquid to help you survive your day.  
I started drinking coffee again, shopping for ethically sourced beans, and was loving it! Until the caffeine started negatively affecting me in so many areas.   So I switched to decaf and came up with this new superfood coffee recipe that is not only delicious, but carries so many health benefits, I will do my best to name them all below. 
One thing to keep in mind with this recipe is to remember that I don’t encourage measuring and instead intuitive insight. However, to get you started, I’ve included what feel like approximate measurements of each ingredient. If something doesn’t taste right to you, play around with it until it suits your needs.  Remember time in the kitchen is supposed to be fun!
