It's not too often we get to do honest, side-by-side comparisons; but with McDonald's throwing up billboards for its new Iced Mocha all around Southern California -- and we're sure wherever you are -- we decided to give it a go. Our Mocha versus Theirs; Café 2.0 versus McCafé. Sound the alarms, it's gonna be a brawl!
Here is the nutrition information for a small Café 2.0 Ganocafé Mocha:
And here's a small McCafé Mocha:

OK, we don't usually do the Internet slang thing -- this is a classy blog, you all! -- but...OMG! Café 2.0 is the hands-down winner versus McCafé! K.O. in the first round, ladies and gents! A stunning victory!
One guilt-free GanoCafe Mocha contains 150 fewer calories than a small McCafe Mocha, and less than half the fat! You can sip on those other numbers at your own pace, but it's clear that if you're worried about your waistline, Café 2.0 Ganocafé Mocha is the only choice.
Taste? Well, there's really no comparison. We've been in the coffee biz for a LITTLE longer than McDonald's; but you won't see us going after their market share on french fries anytime soon.
Please note, we won that little bout without even mentioning Ganoderma Lucidum (links out University of Wisconsin-Madison's article on the subject), the powerful superfood that enriches every guilt-free mocha we sell. And at under a dollar a cup, Café 2.0 Ganocafé Mocha fattens your wallet while it slims you down!
So, all fast food sellers be forewarned: you guys stick to burgers, 'cos we've got the coffee corner covered!
Here are some recipes to spice up your day.
•If you are having the Ginseng Tongkat Ali coffee, add mint leaves or even mint candy to mild the flavor.
•Add nutmeg or cinnamon to make it taste like grandma use to make it at Christmas.
•Turn GanoTea SOD into Ice tea to cool down your summer.
•Local honey has been proven to improve allergies and tastes great. I get Golden Valley Honey grown in Marsing, Idaho (208)896-4552 at the farmers market and Pauls.
•McDonads isn't the only one that has a bender to make a Ice Latte or Moca. Envite your friends over an use 3 trays of ice, 2 coffee, 2 chocolate and 2 scoops of dairy creamer. Watch out for the foam.
If I come up with anything more I'll keep you informed.
Oh, and my mom has lost 10 lbs in 2 months.
