Hi!!! Does anyone know something I can drink instead coffee with milk? :D I really crave it.... but I think is not the caffeine that I crave, but the taste.

How much do you drink a day? Can you switch to decaf for now as you're weaning yourself off? I make a kick-butt cacao smoothie sometimes that has almond milk, chocolate, mesquite, lucuma, maca, and fo ti. It reminds me of a frappuccino but not of a hot coffee. I can give you more specifics if you think it would be helpful.

3 tsp Agave
Dash Cinnamon
Dash Nutmeg

I made this by accident one day:
Sun Warrior Coffee

Briksha's chocolate Masala Chai recipe has been recommended before. I love it.

I make it using:

2 cups almond milk
4-5 medjool dates soaked for 20 minutes (to soften for blending)
2-4" ginger root
2 TBSP of cacao powder

Blend all ingredients. You can strain it to get out the date and ginger bits, but I like eating them.

to wean off coffee I switched to green tea and/or mate'. I had to break the yumminess of that particular addiction before I was ready to kick the caffeine habit.

And it is good having chocolate, or it is to break the addition of coffee and later give up also chocolate?
