What Makes Jnantik Roasted and Ground Mayan Seed an Amazing Coffee Alternative?

    Have you had the pleasure of sipping on a cup of Jnantik Mayan Coffee Alternative or Jnantik Mayan Mother’s Tea? Both products have one simple ingredient: the roasted and ground Mayan Seed. The Mayan Seed is wild-harvested in the pristine mountains of Mexico from the tall and magical Brosimum Alicastrum Tree. This tree grows in the richest soil I’ve seen and touched. The ground is lush and thriving with endless green native plants and trees. That being said, the Mayan Seed that grows in this soil is rich in nutrients we typically miss out on, like Magnesium, Iron, Calcium, Potassium and Antioxidants. It is also high in fiber and protein and ALKALIZING to our body!

    The Modern American Diet is filled with acidic foods, and coffee is one of them. Have you ever noticed how coffee can give you a huge stomachache? In general, we want our body chemistry to be more alkaline and we need more alkaline foods in our diet. WHY? There are many reasons. One of them being that when your blood and cellular fluid is acidic, your body will have to steal minerals like magnesium, calcium and potassium from your bones and minerals, leading to osteoporosis and arthritis. Another reason to eat more alkaline foods is that infection will not grow in an alkaline environment, so the more alkaline you eat, the better your health, and MUCH less sick days you will have to go through. Other benefits of alkaline foods include balanced blood sugar levels, improved heart health, clear and supple skin, weight loss and improved digestion and more energy (1)! That all sounds pretty amazing, right?

    Try Jnantik Coffee Alternative for yourself and let me know how it makes you feel. Once you start drinking this Magic Mayan Seed Elixir, your body will be begging for more. Not only will your body be thanking you for replenishing much needed nutrients, but it will also be glad to create a more alkaline environment, AND the taste is fantastic! Especially when you add your favorite milk and sweetener (I like raw honey and coconut milk). Happy sipping!

The picture above is of two Iced Mayan Seed Lattes: I added the Mayan Seed (Jnantik Mayan Coffee Alternative or Jnantik Mayan Mother's Tea) to hot water and let it steep and cool down for ten minutes. Meanwhile, I blended 1 cup of raw almonds (which were soaked overnight) with 2 cups water, a dash of vanilla bean and 2-3 dates. I strained the milk, mixed with the Jnantik Mayan Coffee Alternative that I had prepared, and poured over ice. Yum!
