Dandelion coffee is caffeine free and a fantastic substitute for anyone wanting to reduce their coffee intake, It is a powerful liver cleanser and is available in most health food stores.
I first discovered dandelion coffee when I attended a Gawler Foundation workshop focused on cancer and wellness. It comes in grounds mixed with chicory and tastes great with a little oat milk or honey. I love the intense rich flavour it adds to this recipe and its great if you have had one to many wines the night before!

1 cup dandelion coffee or tea- cooled (if you really need your caffeine you can use coffee)

1 banana

¼ cup coconut flakes

1 tbsp chia seeds

1 tsp cinnamon

4 dates, chopped

Small handful chopped cashew nuts

1 tsp cocoa powder

4 ice cubes- to serve

Put all ingredients except ice in your blender or food processor, making sure your coffee is cooled before hand. Blend until smooth and pour over ice cubes.

Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon
