Working long hours in the kitchen on my feet all day without stopping, I always start my morning with an espresso and Brilliant Raccoon® is my go-to whether in the kitchen or training. On weekends it works perfect in an oat latte, of course served with a delicious stack of pancakes. It gives me the energy I need, it tastes fantastic and even over ice, the flavour still comes through beautifully!
