Ever wondered how to boost your morning elixir so that it’s setting your brain and body up for a healthy journey to vitality and longevity?
The answer to unlocking your potential through all natural nutrition is a spoonful of Star Dust Organic Nutrient Powder and a few drops of Life Cykel Mushroom Extract meticulously infused with Australian native, wild harvested Kakadu Plum.
Our good friends Life Cykel are studying mushrooms through a medical lens. Globally we’re discovering more and more about the benefits of using mushrooms and extensive research is being undertaken to understand the bioactive compounds within the mushrooms that provide them with such power.
Like a fine wine paired with the right cheese we need a pro to tell us how to mingle Star Dust with Mushroom Extracts. So we called on Julian Mitchell, co-founder of Life Cykel and harborer of endlessly fascinating knowledge of medicinal mushrooms to be our sommelier.

To Make Hemp Milk
1. Add 1/2 cup of Hemp Seeds and 4 cups of filtered water to a high-speed blender. Blend for about a minute, or until the mixture is well combined.
2. Add a pinch of salt and blend for additional 15 seconds.
3. We prefer a creamy and thicker texture of hemp milk, unstrained with all the goodness of hemp seeds contained. For a smoother consistency you can strain it (cover your pitcher with a nut bag, or a thin towel) .
Hemp Milk can keep up to 5 days refrigerated.
