Incorporating Mushroom Powders in Your Diet

If there’s one thing about functional mushroom extracts, it’s that they are varied and multi-purpose. 

One of the most convenient forms is mushroom extract powder. 

When extracted correctly, powdered mushroom extracts are one of the best and easiest ways to tap into the benefits of various mushroom types at any time of day. 

Below are three seamless ways to incorporate mushroom extract powders into your lifestyle without having to swallow a large number of capsules.

Morning Brew: Mix into Your Coffee or Tea

Are you someone that needs that caffeine boost or do you just prefer a warm drink in the morning?

Regardless of your preference, adding a scoop of mushroom extract powder can be an excellent way to up your supplement game.

Mushroom powders can be added to your regular cup of Joe or can replace caffeine altogether. 

Open up the capsules that you would normally take that day and add them to your coffee.

Otherwise, you can put the powdered content of the capsules in a cup of hot water and add your alternative milk of choice. Sweeten if preferred.

Seriously, you might be surprised at how good functional mushroom powders can taste. Try it out someday.

Smoothie Magic: The Perfect Ingredient for a Health Boost

If you are a coffee purist and don’t dare to even add milk to your morning cup then perhaps consider adding the powdered extracts to your morning smoothie. 

Excellent as a post-workout pick-me-up or just a nourishing treat, mushroom powders like Cordyceps, Chaga, Reishi & Lion’s Mane can be easily incorporated into your smoothie recipes.

Use frozen fruits like bananas, cacao, and nut milk as a base, and voila! All your goodies are uncapped! 

Muesli, Granola, and Chia Pudding

If you really want to take your culinary skills to the next level, add your mushroom extract powders to your morning muesli, granola, and/or chia pudding.

I know many of you make your granola from scratch and this is a great way to add a lovely flavor and maintain your supplement intake. 

You might have to experiment with ingredients, and dosages in order for your recipes to be just to your liking, but that’s the fun part.

Hot and Unbothered

Worth noting, that heat will not reduce the effectiveness of your mushroom powders so go ahead and get creative with your savory recipes.

The beneficial compounds in mushrooms are heat-stable. 

These powders are extracted via hot water anyway in order to render them more bio-available and digestible. 

Once again, mushrooms are adaptable, potent, and effective

Get Creative!

There are many functional mushroom powders, each with its own ideal use.

For example, Lion’s Mane is excellent in the morning to balance the mood and get that prefrontal cortex going.

Then some cordyceps before or after your workout.

Followed by some Chaga to keep seasonal flu at bay then some Reishi to help you sleep like a teenager again.

We supply a Mushroom Essentials Complex which is our own house blend of the four different mushroom extracts Lion’s Mane, Cordyceps, Chaga, and Reishi.

If not, you can also get each functional mushroom on its own and use it as you see fit.

Did you know that this is was even an option? Have you ever tried this before?

Let me know in the comments how you’ve been using the uncapped mushroom powders as part of your daily diet.

As always, 

Shine Bright. Do good. Flow strong.
