Recess Mood Powder, Magnesium L-Threonate Blend with Passion Flower, L-Theanine, Electrolytes, Magnesium Calm Support Powder Supplement - Lemon Citrus Pack of 10

I love these. They taste good, they help with sleep and anxiety. I don’t drink much anymore and I go to a lot of events where there’s a bar or there’s water, and it’s nice to bring one of these and have something to drink that’s not just water! lol Love all of the mood brand drink products. Their mocktails are amazing too

I enjoy my Recess as I wind down watching TV each night. I think it’s helping me with leg cramps at night and according to my smart watch, my sleep score is improved. Pleasant taste.

I purchased the sample pack, and I wanted to try quite a few before writing a thoughtful review. I noticed the reviews were very mixed, this product is expensive for what it is, and it is non returnable. I hope this helps you make an informed decision. (Do yourself a favor and make a slushy with ice, coconut milk, an orange creamsicle, the lemon citrus powder, and a touch of sweetener. Very yummy and easy!) Flavor/mouthfeel: this is not a drink powder that feels sparkly or tingly in your mouth- it’s flat like water. Be careful not to swallow down the wrong tube though, for it is very scratchy and uncomfortable. It is sweetened with monk-fruit extract, but it is definitely not a sweet beverage at all. If you have a high sugar tolerance like me, you might be a bit dissatisfied. My personal preference is the mixed berry flavor. I usually dislike citrus flavored things, but I do enjoy this powder. Effect: The calming effect is noticeable- when it does kick in. Sometimes nothing happens. Sometimes I feel so relaxed I get the giggles. It seems like drinking multiple drinks in a row does not increase the effect, so don't waste a packet! I get best results when I drink it fast, as in 5-7 minutes. This is not like alcohol where you can (and should) just sip. Price: I was really disappointed that for what I paid, I did not receive the pretty box packaging. The powders came in a plastic bag that could not be resealed. I think that is tacky and dishonest. I should not have to go out and buy a container when there is a disposable one pictured. Overall, I would certainly recommend this as a relaxation beverage. I cannot imagine drinking this at a party as an alcohol replacement as the effect is much too mild. Have one at bedtime or on your patio this summer!

Meh!!! Taste is not too good and I noticed no calming effects whatsoever. It probably does hydrate me, but other than that not what I was looking for.

My review is about effectiveness and not flavor/taste. I started drinking the canned Recess nightly, unintentionally, and noticed how much better I was sleeping and feeling steadier mentally throughout the day. And I would feel the difference if I skipped a couple days, but eventually I kind of forgot about it until I saw the powder form at a store and resumed. Along with sleeping better I think it helps my mood through out the day and I feel sharper when I need to focus or be creative. I already take a blend of other forms of magnesium and tend to take 2x-3x the RDA because that’s what feels best, but I think my experience is a testament to how effective l-threonate is. I believe drinking it in either the carbonated or powder form has more of a placebo effect for me in the moment and that the real benefit is in consistency. This powder is great for taking it as a supplement (as opposed to drinking the can as a non alcoholic treat) and for ~$25 for 28 servings, not to mention the other ingredients, is a really good value. Magnesium l-threonate is the form that crosses the blood brain barrier, so it’s the only one that has real cognitive benefits. Recess uses a high quality form and this is a solid dose. I feel best when I use it along with several other forms of magnesium (you can get decent blends for ~$15/month) at a high dose, but staying at 250mg or less of each form. This take could be way off, but part of me thinks stacking the types like this delivers more mg l-threonate to my brain because the other forms are taking the load off of treating my other systems. Considering magnesium is one of the only supplements that every single person should be taking, and this is one of the highest quality forms available, Recess is kind of missing the mark with their marketing of this because I had to piece together just how unique of a product it is. I would have started buying it in bulk years ago if they presented it seriously as a supplement to take consistently vs a fun drink when you want to relax.

Recess Mood Powder offers a different kind of energy, calming, restorative, and easy to enjoy. With magnesium and adaptogens at its core, it’s a refreshing way to support your mood and overall well-being. Many people are deficient in magnesium, and this powder makes it simple to replenish while sipping something light and pleasant. It’s perfectly portable, making it great for travel, work, study, or nighttime relaxation. The taste isn’t too sweet and has a mild, sparkling effect that’s especially nice when cold. It blends well with water or any beverage of choice, and its subtle flavor pairs easily with other ingredients. This is a great option for anyone looking to add a little calm to their day, without the crash or overstimulation. Bring chill. Be chill.

This is a great product for on-the-go Calming of anxiety. I would hesitate to just mix it with plain water but rather a sports drink or even juice to offset some of the mineral taste of the magnesium. Since it has no added flavor. It will mix well with just about anything. Very effective and nice to have an easily portable option.
