Getting back into a routine can bring feelings of anxiety… it’s normal, it’s part of it :) We’re all in the same boat, I guarantee. That’s why I created CALMA – because I also needed a simple ritual to help me breathe deeply, relax and de-stress.

CALMA is our soluble cocoa drink with medicinal plants, superfoods, and adaptogens, designed to calm the nervous system, relieve stress, and reduce anxiety. Essentially, it's a hot chocolate with added benefits.

It is made from cocoa , a sacred food used in Aztec and Mayan rituals, which improves circulation and stimulates the production of serotonin – that hormone that makes us happier.
It also contains my favorite adaptogen , reishi , a mushroom that strengthens the immune system, relieves daily stress, regulates sleep, and enhances longevity (what's not to love!). Shwagandha , which balances emotions and relieves anxiety, and shatavari , a medicinal plant full of antioxidants and properties that regulate stress and hormonal balance.

For me, this "hot chocolate" has become the simplest and most delicious act of self-care. Because besides tasting good, the dessert helps with the whole aspect of calming, relaxing, and easing the mind!

And because I believe this is one of the best products we can take at this time of year, I want to share it with you: with every purchase over €30, we offer a free 40g CALMA . A little something from me to you, so you too can feel this lightness in your daily life.

CALM RECIPE

for 1 cup

1 cup of milk of your choice
2 teaspoons of CALM
(Yes, that's all!)

Preparation

1. I like to put the milk in a "milk frother," that machine that heats and froths everything at once. I use one from SMEG.

2. I add the milk and the CALMA (a brand of heat-resistant powder), press the button to heat, and in seconds my hot chocolate is ready.

3. I serve it in my favorite mug, and if I'm in the mood, I sprinkle a little more CALMA on top.
