- Rasa Wellness Coffee – Rasa’s adaptogenic coffee alternative blends are packed with great-tasting herbs that provide lasting energy to nourish your adrenals, rather than tax them. They contain no common allergens — just organic, sustainable herbs — and they even have an Autoimmune Paleo option. Rasa’s dark, rich, and roasty formula is a great alternative if you’re looking to cut back on caffeine. Or, try their cacao or coffee blends for a healthier version of your morning brew, with a balance of caffeine and adaptogens!

They are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, are rich in antioxidants, and provide fiber, iron, and calcium. Omega-3 fatty acids help raise HDL cholesterol, the “good” cholesterol that protects against heart attack and stroke.
- Coconut Oil – Nutiva Organic, cold-pressed, unrefined, virgin coconut oil is made from non-GMO, sustainably farmed coconuts. An ideal addition to paleo, ketogenic, and gluten free diets, it has natural moisturizing and deep conditioning properties, making it an invaluable part of every body care regimen.

Made with just three natural ingredients, this tortilla has a low glycemic index, meaning it can help curb one’s appetite and keep blood sugar levels stable. It can be used for tacos, wraps, sandwiches, and more!
- Maca Powder – An amazing superfood that can provide energy, endurance and strength. Good for immunity and vitality, it is high in linoleic, palmitic and oleic acid. Maca powder contains calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium; and is also a good source of trace minerals, vitamins and amino acids. Use it in smoothies or mix it into teas, nut milks, coffee, protein drinks or any other beverage.
- Camu Camu Powder – The Camu Camu berry is an amazing super-fruit and contains more vitamin C than any other known botanical source. It is great in smoothies and sauces.

- Yogi’s Ginger Tea – This tea can help you gently wean off caffeine and mitigate potential side effects of your caffeine wean. As a bonus, the naturally warming ginger aids with digestion.
- Yogi’s Egyptian Licorice Tea* – There’s nothing like relaxing with a cup of warming and spicy-sweet tea, and Egyptian Licorice tea can also be a great caffeine substitute when you start your wean. (*Please note that licorice can increase blood pressure. Consult your practitioner before using it if you have high blood pressure.)
- Pique Tea Crystals – I love these organic tea crystals because they can be brewed in cold or hot water, and they’re convenient when you’re on the go. Their new Mint tea is great for vitality, managing satiety, and is both calming and refreshing. Best of all, it’s caffeine-free and can be enjoyed at any time of the day!

- Coconut Milk – If you’re familiar with my recipes, you know that I am a big fan of full fat coconut milk.
