Many health-minded coffee drinkers looking for an energy boost naturally have turned to mushroom infused coffee as a tasty solution. This beverage features functional mushrooms such as reishi, chaga and lion’s mane known for their adaptogenic properties that enhance cognitive performance, provide antioxidant protection and decrease stress levels.

Mushrooms contain many constituents that are beneficial to human health, such as polysaccharides, proteoglycans, and beta-glucans. Reishi mushrooms in particular are known for their hepatoprotective and immune-supportive qualities – according to Medicinal Mushrooms: A Clinical Guide, their fruiting bodies contain nearly four times as much beta-glucan than mycelium grown on grains!

The liver, known as the body’s detox powerhouse, plays an integral part in filtering nutrients and eliminating harmful toxins from our systems. Reishi, commonly referred to as nature’s anxiety reliever, promotes relaxation while simultaneously improving sleep quality while strengthening immunity.

In this recipe, we combine organic Reishi mushroom powder with instant coffee and coconut milk for an irresistibly creamy morning drink. Customize this drink as needed by adding collagen powder for extra protein benefits or pinch of cinnamon for immune support.
