Endocrine Energy Coffee Date Shake
(Defend Superblend)
Serves 1 • Paleo / Vegan + Dairy-free optional / Caffeine-free optional
Coming at you with another shake. This one’s all about hormone love, with a caffeine kick. Fiber-rich dates add the perfect touch of natural sweetness, nut butter brings some protein and creaminess, and Defend Superblend delivers a synergistic combo of adaptogens, functional mushrooms + tonic herbs to protect your nervous system from coffee’s draining effects and support hormone balance and deep, long lasting energy.
