      Honestly I never try it that way. I guess it might turn out a bit odd because of the coconut oil. It needs to melt in hot milk to mix better. Plus, cacao. maca and turmeric are a bit tricky to mix in a cold milk. I usually heat the milk and mix in coconut oil. Then I put it in a blender with other ingredients. Alternatively you can put hot milk + coconut and other ingredients in a shaker (like this one https://amzn.to/31ziwpO) and shake.

    I'm wanting to try this in hopes to take maca powder in a delicious way. Thank you for the recipe. I have a question about the coconut oil. What is it for? Is it necessary? Thanks

      Coconut oil is here to activate curcumin in turmeric. You can easily skip it if you don't like it.

    Since giving up coffee I often find myself wanting something hot to start my day. Sometimes I drink tea, but this has been by far my favorite hot beverage packed with good for you benefits. It's just sweet enough and I love the little kick. So yummy!
