Rawbucks Iced Mocha

Servings:
Makes 1 serving... I actually got the idea for this drink from a recipe I found through the Sunny Raw Kitchen site. The recipe was called “Best Coffee Ever”. It was very good, but a little too thick, and strong. So, I made some changes after many trial and errors with the recipe. I finally came up with this rendition, which I truly found delicious! I hope you do too.
One note: I recommend you use “heaping” scoops of the raw cacao powder, and heaping tablespoons of the raw carob. It’s okay to use a little more of both then not.
Ingredients:
1 Scoop, Raw Cacao Powder
1 tablespoon Raw Carob Powder
1 tablespoon Maca Powder
1 tablespoon Lucuma Powder
3 Capsules, Fo-Ti (Ho Shou Wu), emptied
1 tablespoon Yacon (like syrup)
1½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 Squirt, Agave (generous)
6 drop SweetLeaf Liquid Stevia - Chocolate Flavor
dash Cinnamon
2 cup Nut Milk (I used Macadamia/Almond), Use more or less depending upon consistency desired.
1 Handful, Macadamia Nuts
4 Ice cubes, or more
dash Nutmeg
Preparation:
Place all ingredients into a blender (except the ice). Blend on high till well mixed, then add ice. Blend again on high until smooth and frothy. Pour into your favorite glass and add a sprig of mint, or you can add raw chocolate sauce. It’s very yummy and very satisfying…and it makes you feel real good!

Sorry for not responding sooner. The scoop size is a tad over 2 Tablespoons.

This sounds delish!
One question, though, what size is the "scoop" you used for the carob powder?

Does the fo-ti add to the flavour or is it there for energy? Can I leave it out?

I just bought a bottle of Fo-Ti today. It was 7.49 and is made by solray. I know a lot of stores carry this brand so even if they don't stock it, they should be able to special order it!

Thanks for the info. If I can find it locally, I won't have to order it online anymore. I'll have to look again when I'm at Sprouts this week.

they sell the FO-TI at Jimbo's in san diego. it's like a whole foods type grocery store. Maybe check at Henry's or Sprouts if you have one of those near you.

If you are talking about the Fo-Ti, I did purchase it online through www.iherb.com. However, it very well may be at a local health food store. You may want to check there first. I'm a big web shopper. I do a lot of my shopping online...Good luck, I hope you are able to find it soon so you can make the recipe complete! :)

Did you buy it from a health food store or did you have to order it special?

I'm so glad you like it. I hope you enjoy it as much as my family and I do. We use to be major Starbuck's drinkers. I drank so much of it, I should have owned stock in Starbuck's instead. LOL...
My understanding is that Fo-Ti, also known as Ho Shou Wu, has similar properties to that of ginseng. Fo-Ti is one of China's great four herbal tonics. You can read more about by visiting http://www.therootofthematter.ca/, which is a site I just found that explains about the various roots and their healthy properties. Enjoy!
