Food of the Week: Mushroom Tea

Mushroom tea is like herbal teas, low in calories but high in antioxidants and phytonutrients. Each mushroom has its own unique nutritional profile.

CLEAN FOOD OF THE WEEK – MUSHROOM TEA

🤩 Mushroom tea is super trendy right now and there are several kinds on the market including chaga, reishi, cordyceps, lion’s mane, and other kinds of mushrooms.

🔥 It’s not surprising, really, because mushrooms have been used in traditional medicine for centuries. Like herbal teas, they are low in calories but high in antioxidants and phytonutrients.

💡 Mushroom teas can help boost your mood and energy – help with concentration, memory, and focus – improve your cholesterol levels and immune function – and protect your heart health!

👉🏾 PLUS they are promising cancer fighters!

⭐ Each type of mushroom has its own unique nutritional profile – for example, chaga is an antioxidant powerhouse, while cordyceps helps with energy and athletic performance.

✅ TIP: Experiment! You can drink mushroom tea just as you would any other tea. You can also add into a latte or use it as a smoothie base!

❓Have you tried mushrooms tea before? Are you a believer? If not, I've got a great recipe for you to try.
