Ashwagandha > coffee for pro skier Angel Collinson

HANAH Hero Angel Collinson grew up skiing in the heart of the Wasatch. And while she has ventured out for every sort of adventure, she always returns home to Utah. She was also living out of a van before it was the cool thing to do, playing in the big Western mountains with her parents and brother. Angel is a true ambassador for protecting the planet, and we’re proud she takes HANAH products with her to fuel her epic journeys. We're very excited to share her personal experience with HANAH Ashwagandha+ along with a wonderful recipe she created.

By Angel Collinson

"I've been putting it in my morning yerba mate. I've been making bulletproof yerba mate with HANAH Vechur Ghee, Ashwaganda+, coconut oil, and honey or maple syrup (sometimes I'll add in a little HANAH ONE). It's a lot like a latte, nice and frothy, but healthier – especially for women.

Coffee can be hard on women's bodies, and the ashwagandha has so many amazing health benefits, one of which is helping to support and balance the thyroid which can be particularly helpful for women dealing with high amounts of stress both mentally and physically (all its adaptogenic properties make it just as beneficial for men as well).

Switching from coffee to mate has helped me sleep better. And when I add ghee and ashwagandha I don't get the typical energy burst followed by a crash – it's more sustained and consistent.

I feel like the benefits of ashwaganda help balance the bit of stress that the caffeine can have on my body."
