Why Swap Your Regular Coffee for Mushroom Coffee?

Mushroom coffee is having a moment — and for good reason. Blending coffee with functional mushrooms offers a smoother, less acidic cup that’s easier on digestion. Many people also enjoy a more balanced energy lift without the jitters.

We’re especially excited about infusing mushroom coffee with AHCC®, our unique, clinically researched extract from shiitake mushrooms that supports immune function and focus.* You can simply open a capsule and stir those benefits right into your favorite drink.

How to Make Mushroom Coffee at Home

You can find mushroom coffee mixes in stores, but making it yourself is just as easy — and often fresher. Simply brew your favorite coffee, then blend in mushroom powder, spices, and milk of choice. Adjust sweetness to taste.

You can even add your protein powder of choice if you’re focusing on protein intake. These recipes are flexible, functional, and delicious!
