What to Add to Mushroom Coffee
Mushroom coffee has quickly become one of the hottest trends, and for good reason! Packed with health-boosting nutrients and caffeine-free, this tasty beverage provides the ideal way to start your day without experiencing an energy crash or feeling tired from too much coffee. Furthermore, mushroom coffee may even help detox from caffeine use while improving sleep quality!
Though mushroom powder-infused coffee recipes abound, here is one simple hack you can try to make yours even tastier! With just some spices and milk you can transform your mushroom coffee into an irresistibly flavorful latte in minutes!
Begin by whisking mushroom powder into your freshly-brewed coffee and stirring in any additional sweeteners or sweetener (if desired) until fully mixed. Top your beverage off with cinnamon powder for added sweetness, masking any earthy notes from mushrooms while attenuating their earthy flavor while helping your body process mushroom extract faster so you can reap all its benefits.
Make yourself a delicious hot chocolate using this method – simply swap out coffee for cacao powder! Your drink will become a healthy energy-boosting treat that is sure to satisfy any chocolate cravings!
As another option, why not combine mushroom coffee and protein shake as an easy breakfast on-the-go? Just ensure to use plant-based protein powder and sweeten as necessary so as to prevent too bitter of an experience!
Add more variety to your mushroom coffee by mixing in some chaga or lion’s mane extract powder. Both these superfoods are full of antioxidants that have been proven to support immunity; additionally chaga can reduce inflammation while lion’s mane is an exceptional brain booster, offering focus, mental clarity, and cognitive benefits.
mushroom coffee blends often feature ingredients like astragulus and turmeric or chai spices; others may even add chocolate for an energy boost. We suggest starting with a basic black mushroom coffee before customizing your flavor profile with additional add-ins that reflect your individuality.
Making great mushroom coffee means using only organically grown mushrooms that are free from grain fillers such as myceliated grain (myceliated grain contains many starchy grains that dilute beneficial compounds). Real Mushrooms’ organic mushroom extract powder comes from whole, certified-organic fruiting bodies with some of the highest concentrations of beneficial compounds available today.
As far as dosage goes, most people consume mushroom coffee on a daily basis as part of a healthy lifestyle. Everyone’s tolerance can differ so it is essential that you listen to your body and adjust as necessary – adding as much or little mushroom extract as desired is up to you – typically between 1-2 grams is recommended as an initial starting point for most individuals.
