Recipe Directions
Juice carrots, burdock and ginger roots, with cranberries if desired. Pour into blender. Blend in cacao (nibs or powder or both, as desired), spices, coconut oil, and vanilla seeds.(To get the vanilla seeds out of the vanilla bean, cut vertically down the bean, gently fold outwards, and scrape tiny little black seeds out with the tip of a grapefruit spoon or a butter knife.) Adjust to taste. Take your shoes and socks off, go outside and deeply breathe some fresh air for a minute, drink up and hum a happy tune!
Za's Thoughts
By Za A very warming jumpstart-type drink, this is my raw-foodist’s answer to all those coffee-shops’ super-spiced autumnal coffee concotions, the kind I used to imbibe while studying for my fall midterms in New England… But it’s also a more healthful (to me in any case) alternative to super-fatty cacao drinks based on coconut or nut/seed milks, which sit in my belly making me feel heavy while my mind gets all cacao-buzzed. In this drink the stimulant is still there, but it’s supported by real cellular nutrition thanks to the carrot juice. Use in moderation! Cacao is addictive! The cranberries seem to lighten up the flavor, but aren’t necessary—it’s all about the carrots and spices and cacao. The coconut oil is for sweetness and smoothness but also to aid in the absorption of the carrots’ Vitamin A, which is fat-soluble.

neat,thankyou, I'm going to try this very soon
also the key to coconut based drinks is to drink it very slowly ,i put a ton of cayenne which makes it very spicy and it takes me all day to finish it leaving me feeling really light and energized

Uh, sounds lovely! I've had this Milk Masala spices laying around for a while, not wanting to drink them in cows milk and wondering if they'd be nice in almond milk. But now I'll just use carrot juice. Thanks for the inspiration!
