Cocoa Moon Milk with Ashwagandha and Reishi
Rich, comforting and beautifully chocolatey, this Cocoa Moon Milk is the perfect evening ritual. Combining our 100% Natural Cocoa Powder with warming spices, creamy milk and functional ingredients including ashwagandha and reishi, it's a soothing drink designed to help you slow down and unwind.
The deep chocolate flavour of natural cocoa pairs perfectly with maple syrup, cinnamon and nutmeg, creating a nourishing bedtime drink that's rich, indulgent and full of cosy flavour. Better still, our cocoa powder is naturally high in cocoa polyphenols, rich in magnesium and a good source of fibre, making it a delicious way to enjoy the benefits of cocoa as part of your daily routine.
