I Drank Mushroom Coffee For 7 Days, This Is How I Felt
What if dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins—the chemicals in our body responsible for happiness, were right under our feet? What if plant medicine replaced our morning coffee and instead, we nourished our bodies with mushrooms like Lions Mane and Chaga—filled with naturally growing amino acids. All working together harmoniously to balance the body. This is what’s inside Everyday Dose’s The Mushroom Latte.
For years, I’ve been fascinated with the benefits of mushrooms. From psychedelics to those found in the alternative medicine aisle at my local health food store. These beautiful, funny looking fungus scattered on dead wood and moist earth are just waiting to share their magic with the world. Mushrooms are the connecting point to send messages from plant-to-plant. They have the power to grow from decay, bringing new life to the earth. They are truly incredible.
When Everyday Dose’s The Mushroom Latte came onto my radar, I couldn’t wait to try it. Being an avid coffee drinker, I loved that I didn’t have to stop drinking coffee because Everyday Dose is made with a splash of organic coffee beans. Along with mushrooms such as Lions Mane and Chaga. These mushrooms offer a laundry list of health benefits to the body.
For 7 days I drank this mushroom-infused beverage as my morning ritual with oat milk. I didn’t think I would experience so many health benefits right away, but I did. I now crave The Mushroom Latte over coffee.
Below are the health benefits that I experienced:
My Mood Shifted
I noticed immediately that I didn’t get the caffeine high I normally get from a cup of coffee (which at first I missed). But without this caffeine high, my mood stayed more grounded, with less up and down mood spikes. My energy levels also remained even throughout the day—without the crash in the afternoon.
My Sleep Improved
Ever since my husband and I moved from Los Angeles to the woods of Colorado, we've noticed restless sleep. We blame it on the sudden silence outside our window instead of the bustling sounds of the city. With The Mushroom Latte, I noticed right away my sleep deepened, and I slept through the night undisturbed. I also noticed when I woke, I felt more refreshed and less like I was dragging myself to the kitchen to start the coffee.
My Skin Glowed
I know what you're thinking, this is starting to sound too good to be true. Well, friends, giving your body nutrients instead of heavy stimulants can do wonders. Coffee is also a dehydrator which is not ideal for keeping the skin looking youthful and bright. Even though Everday Dose still has a small amount of coffee, the amino acids from the mushrooms and natural collagen, give the body good fats and vitamins. Offering brightening from the inside out.
My creativity and focus heightened
When drinking coffee, I’ve noticed the lovely energy buzz can sometimes cause my mind to become scattered and overly active. Drinking The Mushroom Latte, I found myself concentrating and better able to communicate my ideas. Again the fats in the amino acids were working together to give power to my brain.
The Everyday Dose Starter Kit comes with an airtight glass vessel designed to show off and be a decor element in your kitchen. Each month, they send a fresh 30-serving refill bag in a compostable shipping bag. Along with a scooper for measuring the right amount of dose into your cup, and a super cute travel tumbler.
For those ready to offer the body an alternative to stimulants, Everyday Dose is bringing us back to nature.
