Ingredients

Mushrooms can add nutrition to any diet, and some varieties offer potential health benefits. Chaga contains an enzyme that facilitates detoxification by stimulating liver to produce digestive bile; other mushrooms possess adaptogenic properties which balance hormones and improve stress response; Lion’s mane mushroom is known for bolstering immune response; milk — especially whole milk for maximum nutritional impact–is an excellent source of protein and calcium.

Coconut milk has an intensely strong flavor that could overshadow the mushroom flavors, plus is quite heavy (not to mention costly), making it unsuitable as an ingredient substitute for milk in this recipe.
