If you are after an ENERGY boost this smoothie is sure to hit the spot!
It’s super quick and easy to make and packed full of nutrients to keep you satisfied throughout the day. It’s no ordinary smoothie either as it has had a superfood boost with the addition of our amazing Cupuacu powder.
For those of you who are unaware, Cupuacu is known in the Amazon as “the pharmacy in a fruit”, it contains a compound called theacrine, structurally similar to caffeine, which is known for its mood, energy and concentration enhancing effects. However, unlike caffeine, theacrine is not addictive and won’t cause the “jitters”. The concentration of theacrine, antioxidants, flavonoids and polyphenols in Cupuaçu may also help to support the immune system.
