THE BUZZ IS ALL ABOUT THE CREAMER
Coffee has been a staple in international culture since the 15th century. This highly addictive caffeinated beverage is to blame for the early risers and over achievers. It’s what is in your morning cup that matters.
Many Americans douse their perfectly brewed coffee with acidic creamers, artificial sugars, artificial flavors galore.
What does your morning cup of joe look like? Black, cream, sugar?
It may seem like a simple morning beverage, but the truth is there are thousands of ways to dress up your traditional cup of joe. Today alternative creamers are all the rage. From almond to coconut and soy to oat milk. Milk companies and alternative options even have their own category of barista blends in major supermarkets. Many of these options are delicious but are also a healthier choice to a traditional powdered creamer and Splenda. The MC collection offers healthier options for your cup of joe. We’ve brought on dairy free, plant-based creamers from Laird Superfoods. Carefully crafting the healthiest most delicious latte for our guests.
Since we are big fans of Laird Superfood products, we introduced our Laird Turmeric Latte at Blend Café, our coffee shops located at The Meritage Resort and Spa and Paséa Hotel & Spa.
There is so much you can do with coffee besides just starting your day with a sip of this magical beverage from a cup. Here are our top two recipes to say goodbye to Summer and hello to Fall:
COCONUT COFFEE ICE CREAM RECIPE (with Functional Mushrooms!)

Ingredients:
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 1 13.5-ounce can of full-fat coconut milk
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 cup brewed Laird Superfood Mushroom Coffee
- 2 tsp vanilla paste or pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp fine-grain sea salt
- 1/2 cup vegan mini dark chocolate chips, plus more to sprinkle on top(optional)
Directions:
