Mushroom coffees are great for folks who are trying to get off caffeine, or simply want a morning beverage that’s actually good for you. Many contain adaptogens and anti-inflammatory, heart-healthy ingredients. But many also come with a price. Which is to say the stuff tastes like crap. And most know it, so they suggest you doctor it up by adding extras like maple syrup, honey, sugar, milk, or cocoa. Which is kind of a pain and adds a whole ton of calories.
But now there’s a new mushroom coffee called Mad Dandy that offers adaptogens, antioxidants, anti-inflammatories and other benefits without the need for additional flavor enhancers.
Mad Dandy’s special blend of ingredients results in a morning brew that tastes like a creamy, nutty, cocoa-ish latte, with just 45 calories and tons of healthy goodies.
Ingredient Spotlight:
Let's take a look at a few of the ingredients that give Mad Dandy the madest, dandiest flavor experience:
1. Roasted Chicory: Roasted chicory root infuses Mad Dandy with its deep, earthy essence. This coffee-like ingredient adds richness and complexity, forming the foundation of the Mad Dandy’s flavor. But it’s just a tiny piece of it.
2. Dandelion: Dandelion root brings its unique touch to Mad Dandy, offering a delicate balance of natural sweetness and subtle bitterness. The interplay between roasted chicory and dandelion creates a taste profile that closely resembles the depth and complexity of coffee. Dandelion root is also the dominant ingredient with over 11,000mgs.
3. Chai Tea: Chai tea forms an integral part of Mad Dandy, providing an aromatic and invigorating base. The infusion of black tea and a blend of spices, combined with the roasted chicory and dandelion, creates a symphony of flavors that are both comforting and enticing.
4. Turmeric: The inclusion of turmeric adds a vibrant hue and a warm, earthy note to Mad Dandy. (Sorry for sounding like a wine Sommelier.) Known for its health benefits, turmeric contributes to the unique flavor medley, enhancing the overall drinking experience.
5. Peanut Butter Powder: Mad Dandy takes an unexpected turn by incorporating peanut butter powder, adding a subtle nutty undertone to the beverage. This ingredient not only enhances the flavor but also introduces a creamy texture and who the hell doesn’t love peanut butter?!
Of course, we won’t discourage you from making the drink your own. Add your favorite milk if you like. And no one would argue that a dollop of whip cream or a squeeze of caramel won’t tickle the taste buds. Just know that Mad Dandy is a sweet, sugar-free, guilt-free hot beverage that will help you jump-start your day without the coffee jitters.
