Pairing brain boosting herbs with deliciousness is my favorite snack to keep on hand during the work week. Adaptogenic brain herbs like Brahmi, Lions Mane and supporting powerhouses like Gotu Kola and Ginkgo thrive when paired with healthy fats like coconut + and oxygen rich carriers like matcha. I love adding Reishi as an added support, as its known for its masterful lung tonic activity, on top of being an immune protector, along with its many other adaptogenic benefits. Make these delicious nuggets and have them around when you're in the midst of your busy week, you'll be oh so thankful, trust me.

1. Add 2 cups finely shredded coconut and process in a food processor until a thick paste forms. This will take approximately 2 minutes.
