Thought you’d never hear me say that right??!!
Well this is a hit with a difference…with only one shot of coffee in this whole mix, you get the coffee flavour without overdoing it. Best not to have these in the evening with your Dreamtime tea…but as a midmorning or lunchtime treat it would be fine. Protein & EFA packed, & full of nutrients like zinc, selenium, magnesium, manganese, iron, calcium & potassium – why not try these!
