Drinking powders

Used to be a pretty big health nut, but I’ve lost the way. All I have left is a bunch of powders. Moringa, lucuma, chlorella, turmeric, ashwaganda, pao d’arço bark, chaga… I want to integrate these back in to my day-to-day but don’t know what sort of liquid base or additional ingredients would blend well with these powders. Anyone have any tips or ‘template’ on how to make a solid powder drink with random powders? (Side quest: without a protein shaker or blender if possible??!) Thanks :)

Answer

That’s a nice mix. I would personally separate the Chaga powder from those listed and consume it in the form of tea by itself, daily.

Turmeric powder can be overpowering if you’re optimizing for flavor/taste, so another option would be possible to turn that into a tincture with high-proof alcohol + a jar + time. That will produce a more concentrated form and you won’t need as much for the benefits.

If you’re looking for a quick and easy solution and can power through the taste, mixing all of those together with a bit of pea protein (for viscosity) and water or macadamia nut milk should work.

Answer

Avoid putting algae powders (chlorella, spirulina, etc.) into smoothies or sweet things. I usually just eat it a spoonful with water since I kinda like the taste itself lol.

But mixing ashwagandha, maca, and chaga with cacao tends to be quite good on smoothies or sweet recipes. Just make sure the taste is chalky in a sense, b/c it will blend well with cacao as long as you use a natural sweetener like fruits or syrups.
