I started creating the Mighty Brew as I pick me up evening drink, an alternative to booze or sugary mocktails. 

While the Cacao can give you a nice warm heart opening feeling, the mushrooms can create a feeling of clarity and well being while the Guarana, Yerba mate and Matcha provide a lift. 

It’s become a favourite in my house. My husband loves it as an alternative to coffee in the morning while my teenage son has it as a healthy pre workout drink.

I love it for a boost in the evening, before I teach a class or go out. Goes great with a couple of cubes of dark chocolate and  gives me a little energy with out having any impact on my sleep.

I like this one best when drunk like a shot. Just with hot water and then down in one for a quick, healthy boost.

But like all the Brews you can get creative and have it as you want it. Add it to pretty much anything including bliss balls, protein powders or how about trying an alcohol free espresso martini?

I decided just to use one source for sharing the benefits of the ingredients I use in the Mushroom Brews to make it easier for you to find the relevant research.

Info on foods can often be unregulated and many claims can be made so I wanted to avoid any doubt about the amazing properties you’ll be having in your Brew.

www.medicalnewstoday.com will show all the research that backs up the benefits that I’ve written here.

All the ingredients have been used in traditional cultures for 100’s of years because of their health benefits and its important we value their knowledge too. Often times the Western approach or ’scientific research can be very reductionist and misleading.

Whenever possible I always buy organic ingredients which is at least 90% from a company that support and develop ethical trade and community based projects  with the benefits of harvesting non-timber forest products going to the local producer.

 

Cacao

Used and cherished for up to 5,000 years the Cacao bean is seen as sacred in many South American cultures. 

Treasured for its heart warming qualities there’s also plenty of research to show that it also boosts your brain and heart health, improves your gut, skin, reduces inflammation and enhances your mood. 

It’s high in anti oxidants and minerals such as magnesium.

 

Chaga

Immune system, brain function, maintains healthy blood sugar levels and promotes liver, heart, and intestinal health. 

Shiitake

Supports healthy weight & our cardiovascular health, fights cancer cells, improves energy levels and brain function. Reduces inflammation and supports the immune system.

Maitake 

Boosts immunity, hormones, liver health, and increases stress resilience. 

Lion's mane 

Important benefits for brain health, such as supporting our memory, cognition, and mental clarity.

Also immunity, nerve damage, anxiety and depression.

Cordyceps 

Anti-fatigue, anti-aging and anti-cancer properties that could help improve energy levels, sex drive and even heart health.

May help to prevents many illnesses inc diabetes, oestoporosis & arthritis.

Tremella 

Reduces inflammation, boosts the immune system, supports lung function, and helps maintain clear, glowing skin.

Reishi

Boosts the immune system, increases strength and stamina, lowers cholesterol, treats lower urinary tract symptoms

lowers stress and supports gut health.

The website I used for the other ingredients did not have enough evidence about Reishi Mushroom so instead try,

Mighty Brew

So as well as the super gorgeous organic Peruvian Cacao and 7 marvellous Mushrooms I’ve added Yerba Mate, Guarana and matcha green tea to creatte a Buzz. Its also got a very tiny amount of Cayenne Pepper to help maximise the benefits of the mushrooms.

Yerba mate

Yerba maté is  made from the leaves a type of holly found in the South American rainforest.  It naturally contains a small amount of caffeine (which in itself has many health benefits when not over consumed).

It is rich in vitamins, amino acids,  antioxidants and polyphenols, which are plant compounds that may improve health.

As well as increasing bone density it can also help lower the risk of dementia.

Guarana

This extract from a seed found in the amazon has been used for centuries as a source of energy.

It contains caffeine, theophylline( found in black tea) as well  as theobromine (found in chocolate) so is great for increasing energy and enhancing cognition.

May also help with inflammation, weight loss and healthy chloresterol levels.

Matcha Green Tea

A great energy booster Matcha can also help you think clearer and remember things better!!

It also has many preventative properties and can help prevent cancer, heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
