Mushroom Hot Chocolate Blend

I’ve tried a couple brands of functional mushroom hot chocolate & I like this one the best. I first tried it as an afternoon snack to ward off hunger & be healthy, I soon discovered that I got better sleep without drowsiness! Bonus! The reasons that it’s my favorite of the brands that I’ve tried is because the quality is as good as the more expensive, the taste is every bit as good, and the price is by far the best!

I never in a million years thought I'd be as in love with mushrooms as I've become :) I took a chance on a packet of this at my local health shop. I fell in love with it but was disgusted w/the price they were charging. $1.99 a packet and if you by 6 then you get 10% off (which really isn't great) the large container like this one that they carry. Costs about $35. So, I went to hunting. Only other place I could find this was Whole Foods which....are insane on costs as it is but... the mark up difference even from my health store was total insanity. For the packets they were $2.30 and the container like this was $39.00. So, I pulled up Amazon. Ok check...2 day delivery. And for this price!! How could I NOT order it lol... So now, there's that rant out of the way and many thanks to Amazon for offering this product at such an amazing price!! The taste is wonderful. I like drinking it of a morning. I haven't ever really been a coffee drinker. I drank it to help wake me up many years ago but always hated it and used way more sugar and creamer than I had of the coffee LOL but this, doesn't need anything. I just use a tbsp and my unsweetened almond milk and I'm good to go! I use about a cup/half of milk with the 1 tbsp of powder and it's perfect. This has become a morning ritual of mine and I hate it if I run out. It helps me function and my memory is absolutely a 100 times better as is my focus. I can make it through the day without forgetting what I'm supposed to be doing and have energy to do the things I need to do. The only complaint I have... is when I decide to do something. I try doing it all of the way. I've decided to start digging more into mushrooms for their healing properties and therefore that means finding the best and purest. Unfortunately that comes w/dropping many things like rice/oats/mycelium and natural flavors. Which I noticed, natural flavoring is used in this. I'd love to see them drop that and get rid of it as we all know, 'natural flavoring' has nothing to do with the flavor of anything that's natural. Otherwise, I think this is an amazing product and will continue to use until I find something that doesn't have the flavoring enhancer. Because I truly do love and adore this product!!!

1 - Quantity - It's listed as 30 servings. I used a leveled measuring tool every time I served myself, and my container had 21.5 days worth of product. 2 - Flavor - My first impression was that it tastes like matcha with a hint of coffee, or matcha "but bitter and dark." It's not a bad flavor. I don't like mushrooms, and I ordered this product as a way to have the health benefits of mushrooms, and to include them in my gut diversity. It still tastes enough like matcha, and after 3 weeks, I've grown to desire the flavor of this product. I drink it with a tbsp of oatmilk creamer. 3 - Quality - The texture is great. It dissolves quickly in hot water when stirred with a spoon, and almost instantly if you stir with a frother. Compared to RYZE, this has the mushrooms that matter most. 4 - Value - It's meh. Not getting 30 days is disappointing. It says full price is $39.99, but at the time of my purchase, it was only $24 for the subscription price. $24 for 21 days of product is $1.14 per serving. I'm more than content with that. Even if the price goes back up to $40, for 21 days, that's $1.90 per serving. I'm buying extra while it's on sale, because I do really like it.

After getting COVID, I developed a painful bladder syndrome. I had been a coffee/caffeine drinker for 20 years, and suddenly everything was causing extreme pain; drip coffee, cold brew coffee, low acid coffee, matcha, green tea, black tea, iced tea. EVERYTHING, except Om mushroom coffee. It’s literally the only thing, after a ton of trial and error, that doesn’t give me issues. One tablespoon with hot water, some coconut sugar and a splash of half and half, blend, and it’s heaven. I don’t have to give up caffeine or my ritualistic morning hot drink. The latte kind is very tasty and creamier, but the plain “coffee” kind has less carbs so I’ll stick with this for now. Try it!!!
