Plant Potential: Emily Miller - Ashwagandha
ASHWAGANDHA
In this series, we spotlight the boundless potential of a single ingredient.
New York City-based founder and CEO of OffLimits, a defiant cereal brand with functional flavors, and author of Phaidon's BREAKFAST: The Cookbook, Emily Miller has crafted a high energy and delicious latte with ashwagandha. Emily used OffLimits ZOMBIE cereal, which is packed with ashwagandha, an adaptogen with de-stressing and anti-inflammatory properties and added ashwagandha for an extra boost. It's her go-to for getting her morning coffee and breakfast in one glass.

ADAPTOGENIC ZOMBIE CEREAL LATTE
I sometimes have trouble taking adaptogens and need to keep coming up with clever ways to disguise them into my morning routine. This cereal latte is fun and functional.
3/4 c plant-based milk (or milk of preference)
2 shots espresso
1/4 tsp powdered or liquid ashwagandha
1/2 c cereal (I used OffLimits ZOMBIE because it has ashwagandha)
In a tall glass, add the milk, espresso, and ashwagandha. Top with cereal and enjoy.
