Nine Things We Love About Mad Dandy - A Low-Caffeine Coffee Alternative
Who knew the lowly dandelion could be brewed into something so healthy and delicious.
Eight Things We Love About Mad Dandy
People often ask why we call ourselves a pre-coffee. Because Mad Dandy is what you drink before you’re morning coffee, to start your day with something healthy. You see, we’re not anti-coffee, we’re anti-inflammatory. If you want to drink a coffee, have yourself a cup. But first, pour yourself a cup of something that’s good for you and tastes great to boot. Many of us started out drinking Mad Dandy in addition to coffee, but have come to love it so much that we’ve pretty much given up our morning cup of Joe. Want in? Here’s what you ought to know about Mad Dandy.
1. Low in Caffeine
Mad Dandy contains just 1/4 the caffeine found in a typical cup of coffee. So you wake up more gently, with no jitters, no anxiety and no caffeine crash. Plus you can drink Mad Dandy throughout the day without worrying about sleep issues, insomnia or the addiction that comes with coffee. Plus, Mad Dandy Decaf is a completely caffeine-free option, with the exact same delicious flavor profile. So you might become addicted to the taste, but never the caffeine!
2. Rich and Robust Flavor
While it may not be coffee, Mad Dandy has a rich and robust flavor profile. It has a creamy, nutty, cocoa-y taste with a hint of bitterness and a touch of sweetness. It has an earthy undertone coffee enthusiasts appreciate. But the peanut, chai mixture has also won the hearts of folks who say: ”I don’t like the taste of coffee.”
3. Gut-Friendly
Unlike coffee, which can cause a variety of stomach issues, the dandelion root used in Mad Dandy coffee alternative is known for its gentle effect on digestion. It can actually be soothing for the stomach, making it a great choice for those with easily angered tummies and those who want to drink less coffee to avoid the stomach problems that come along with it.
4. Antioxidant-Rich
Mad Dandy is packed with antioxidants, thanks to ingredients like mushroom, dandelion root, and turmeric. These antioxidants can help combat free radicals and support overall health. Free radicals are toxins that can damage the cells in your body and lead to disease processes. They’re often released during times of physical or emotional stress, and the antioxidants in Mad Dandy can fight these toxins. Free radicals cause other problems in the body as well, like wrinkles, age spots, and more. Antioxidants soak up these free radicals before they can damage the cells in your body.
5. Anti-Inflammatories
Mad Dandy contains a ton of anti-inflammatories which are another important part of fighting disease. Inflammation in the body can lead to health problems like elevated cholesterol levels, heart disease, diabetes and even cancer. The anti-inflammatories in Mad Dandy reduce the body's overall inflammatory response. And that’s a good thing.
6. Liver Support
Dandelion root, one of the key ingredients in Mad Dandy, has been traditionally used to support liver health because it helps the liver produce more bile, which in turn absorbs fats and reduces cholesterol levels in the bloodstream. Drinking Mad Dandy may contribute to a healthier liver, which is essential for overall well-being.
7. Versatile
Mad Dandy is incredibly versatile. You can enjoy it as a hot or iced beverage simply by mixing two tablespoons with boiling water. It tastes amazing without any additives. But for folks who miss their lattes, adding a touch of oat milk, almond milk, or even good old-fashioned cow’s milk makes it taste even creamier. Hell, add a shot of whiskey and you’ve got yourself an Irish Dandy.
8. Mental Clarity
Mad Dandy can offer a boost of mental clarity and focus without the jitters often associated with coffee. Lion’s Mane mushrooms can help the body generate brain cells and are often taken as a supplement to help with focus, memory and cognitive abilities. As you age, the ability of your brain to form connections reduces along with its capacity to form new brain cells, and this leads to diminished mental functioning in elderly people. Studies have found that lion’s mane mushrooms, though, are a good source of hericenones and erinacines, two chemicals that accelerate the growth of brain cells. So Mad Dandy is a great choice for those who want to stay alert throughout the day without the rollercoaster of caffeine highs and crashes.
9. Family Owned
If you don’t like giving your money to greedy corporations, or just want to stick it to Howard Schutlz, buy Mad Dandy. This is a passion project started by three best friends and their wives, who spent a year obsessively drinking the beverage concocted by co-founder Marty Friedman. They loved the taste so much they decided it was worth taking their beloved drink to market. It’s a labor of love and they’ve even brought their adult children into the fold, relying on them to run the Mad Dandy social media feeds, and to network with social influencers.
So, give it a try, and you might just discover your new favorite drink.
