boosted coffee: mornings on shrooms

Guess what, friends… I am on shrooms, and I am in love.

Yes, I said it: shrooms. Beyond the Portobello, an entire kingdom of mushrooms exists, many with amazing health benefits for immunity, energy, and longevity that have been studied for centuries. The folks at Four Sigmatic AND now Paleovalley too are on a mission to infuse functional mushrooms into the foods and supplements we love and use daily, like coffee and protein. Their goal is to enrich minds and improve cognition one cup of mushroom coffee at a time. And after a years on these shrooms, I am a 100% believer too. I love that they have options for whole bean and ground coffee, capsules, powders, instant drink mixes, and more to fit every need and taste.

I love them much so, in fact, that I’ve teamed up with the authentic, down-to-earth people at Four Sigmatic to bring you a discount code and continual updates about the products I love most!

I am currently loving Paleovalley’s new  polyphenol-dense, organic coffee. The low-acid, smooth, rich brew is made with coffee beans from organic, sustainable farms plus is boosted with functional mushrooms and coffee fruit extract, resulting in a delicious morning ritual and another way to support cognitive function and wellness.

And I take the Four Sigmatic Calm capsules every afternoon to wind down from the sometimes seemingly non-stop pace of life, work, motherhood.

The recipe below is my always favorite way to enjoy my morning cup of coffee for sustained energy, mental clarity, and the boost I need to take on the day (without a crash). I kid you not, since starting the complex, my flow state, work performance, and creativity have been at a whole new level. Mushrooms have made me feel like superwoman, and frankly, I never want to go back. It might sound crazy, but I have a feeling you’ll agree once you give this a try.

Mushrooms truly helps me feel focused and creative in ways I haven’t before, especially in combination with high quality organic coffee, collagen peptides, protein, and the extra fat and nourishment from raw heavy cream (fat just so happens to be super effective brain fuel too).

I’ve been taking my second mug to go for my post workout work sessions, and it stays nice and steamy hot in my Stanley bottle.

I hope you enjoy this one as much I do every. single. day. Peace, love, and shrooms, friends!

Boosted Coffee

  • Servings: 1
  • Difficulty: easy
  • Print

WHAT YOU NEED:

You can also do this with cold brew! Blend it all and enjoy. I love adding a frozen banana for a little more sweet flavor and creamy texture. 

WHAT YOU DO:

  • brew your coffee in desired manner
  • steam your milk and cream (trust me on this – game changer)
  • meanwhile add all remaining ingredients to your Vitamix or blender (or straight to your mug and use the travel frother)
  • once coffee and goods are blended, top with steamed milk/cream and..
  • ENJOY!

What do you think? Are you a boosted coffee kind of morning-er? I love sipping slowly while I work, do the mama thing, and feel like a boosted superwoman. Note: as the weather gets warmer, you can swap in your favorite cold brew too!

Hugs!

♡ Laura

    Hey Laura, it doesn’t look like Paleovalley has whey protein anymore. Or am I missing something? What other protein powders do you use in this recipe? Thanks!

      Hi! Sorry this comment went to spam! You can use any whey that works for you. Sometimes I just use the vanilla collagen from Primal Kitchen too. Some other favorites are Naked Whey and Tara’s Whey. Thank you!

    I just started trying some of the FourSigmatic mixes. I was wondering – as someone who is avoiding sugar for hormone balance – what do you think about the sugar in the Vanilla Whey? I need the opinion of someone more educated than me. Thanks!

      Hi April! As of late, I’ve actually taken out the whey. I believe this would be just as delicious and effective without the whey. 1/2 a serving of this whey, though, provides such a small amount of sugar that I don’t believe it would make a difference. The best way to know for sure is to self experiment. Thanks so much for coming to my website. It means a lot. Sending a hug!
