I Doubted the Mushroom Coffee Hype, but This Superblend Proved Me Wrong

I'm not huge on bandwagon trends: I never watch movies when they first come out, I still don't own Crocs, I've never tried the Keto diet, and I tend to wait a while before trying a new product. Such was the case with mushroom coffee, which has gained popularity over the past few years because it promises to improve gut health, upgrade your mood, better your immune system, and so much more. To me, mushroom coffee seemed way too good to be true. And plus, I was content with my coffee habits. I didn't see a need to disrupt my routine.

The European-culture advocate in me loves to start the morning with an oat cappuccino, but as someone with a super sensitive stomach, it isn't always my best idea. Occasionally, my cappuccino fix causes jitters, an upset stomach, and eventual sluggishness. In fact, six months ago I started replacing my morning cup of Joe with tea in hopes of better digestion. But lately, I've been missing the caffeinated kick-start that only coffee can produce. In an effort to find a morning beverage that could bring energy while also keeping my stomach issues at bay, I opted for the Atlas+ Coffee Superblend ($19, originally $38), a mushroom alternative.

Atlas+ makes some pretty significant benefit claims, stating better-health results in just one day, and even more developments as you keep drinking it. Keep reading for more details about the Atlas+ Coffee Superblend and find out how the mushroom coffee quickly became part of my routine.

About the Atlas+ Coffee Superblend

What I Like About the Atlas+ Coffee Superblend

My biggest concern with trying out mushroom coffee was the taste. I was nervous that it would taste too healthy and not like coffee at all. But I'm happy to report the Atlas+ Coffee Superblend tastes the same, if not better, than your favorite morning pick-me-up. Each cup feels like a warm hug and has been super cozy through the cold months. The powder is also easy to blend — unlike other powders, it dissolves instantly without leaving any particles behind. The result: a perfect cup of coffee.

Although I've only been drinking the superblend for a week, I've already noticed the health benefits. According to the brand, each cup is packed with the below benefits:

As a former skeptic, I didn't actually think I'd experience the benefits as quickly as the brand stated — within one day — but I did. My sensitive stomach hasn't had any trouble digesting the superblend and my energy lasts all day without sign of the dreaded afternoon slump that so many coffee drinkers experience.

I'm also a big fan of the brand's mantra: "If we are what we repeatedly do, maximizing your morning cup is a no-brainer." This approach to coffee is way more intuitive and wellness-focused than that of other mushroom coffee brands I've seen. I appreciate the dedication to creating a tasty product while also encouraging customers to think about the bigger picture that goes beyond consumption. Not only that, Atlas sources the best beans from Tanzania, Zambia, Ethiopia, Costa Rica, Columbia, and beyond.

How to Use the Atlas+ Coffee Superblend

The first couple of times you make coffee with the superblend, I'd advise staying close to the directions. I added hot water to the cup before the powder and the cup spilled over as I started frothing. Keep it to four to seven ounces of water and add the powder first.
