There are Mushrooms in my Coffee and I'm okay with it

I drink mushrooms for breakfast. Every. Single. Day.

This is the only coffee I crave, and the BEST cup I've tasted in a really long time. I am hooked.

Now hear me out before you click away.

It all started at work, straightening up the Adaptogen aisle at Sprouts.

How I found out about Mushroom Coffee

Once upon a time, I worked at Sprouts Farmers Market in the Beauty and Vitamins dept. This was one of my all-time favorite jobs. I have a long history of jobs in the Vitamin & Supplement business, and so naturally, Sprouts was a place I just felt right at home.

One night, I was restocking some products in the Mushrooms & Adaptogens section. I knew a little bit about Adaptogens because of the hormone balance supplement I was taking at the time. It had mushrooms like Turkey Tail and Reishi, as well as some roots and vegetable powders.

I started to peruse the section as I cleaned up that night, and found that we sold something called "Adaptogen Coffee", and "Mushroom Cacao mix".

My interest was peaked.

I brought home a few packets of Cacao and Coffee mixes and started trying them. They tasted better than I thought instant coffee could! They also made this Adaptogen coffee in full ground coffee bags, which I liked even better. With that little bit of success, I wanted to know more about the benefits, and what Adaptogens could really do for me.

The Benefits of Mushrooms & Adaptogens

Adaptogens are plant roots, or mushrooms, that help protect your body from stress.

Like their name, these Adaptogenic plants can help your body to adapt. They do this by functioning with your body to improve any problems that may be occurring.

Their function is regulation.

My favorite thing about Mushroom coffee is that I never feel jittery, even after two or more cups. I have had sensitive blood pressure levels since having our son, and this is the only coffee that doesn't spike my BP.

I believe part of that is because the Adaptogens help to reduce stress.

A lot of people like coffee as a comfort drink. If you are stressed already though, normal coffee is the last thing you should be drinking. Coffee has been known to raise cortisol (our stress hormone), which can make you anxious, give you heart palpitations, or could even lead to chronic stress.

Mushroom coffee has half the amount of caffeine as a regular cup, and has Adaptogens to help soothe your nerves and adrenals. Eleuthero is a powerful Adaptogen that can help fight stress, as well as support endurance and stamina. You can find this root in Four Sigmatic's Adaptogen Blend Coffee.

Mushroom coffee supports immune function

Immunity is important to all of right now, as it should be in general. I add these products into my routine to keep my immune system boosted and functioning at its highest.

The "Defend" coffee pictured above has amazing probiotics and helps to defend your immune system while helping improve digestion.

I have also tried the Chaga Elixir mix and added it to coffee and hot chocolate. Chaga is probably one of the best things you can take for immunity and has a coffee-like taste that can easily be sipped on its own.

The Mushroom Company I trust most

There are a few different companies that I have seen over the years, but Four Sigmatic is the cleanest and overall best Mushroom Coffee brand out there.

Four Sigmatic has a TON of products, from coffee and Elixir mixes, to chocolate to protein powder, and even facial care. They also have a great membership program that gives you free stuff in the mail to try.

Becoming a 'Shroomate

This isn't an every once in a while product for me, but a staple in our home. We get 2-3 bags monthly now and don't miss a day. My husband loves Four Sigmatic now too!

Plus, they send a lot of free stuff to members. I have gotten a whole box of Reishi Hot Cacao for free, as well as a box of Elixer mix, protein powder packs, and even a silicone travel mug. Just for being a 'Shroomate.

So get on the Mushroom coffee train, we're all #onshrooms over here.
