Brand: Om Mushroom Superfood
When winter approaches, one of the things I look forward to most is a warm cup of tea or hot chocolate topped with a few mini marshmallows for extra indulgence. So when I came across Om's mushroom hot chocolate, I couldn't resist giving it a try. The blend combines four functional mushrooms—reishi, lion's mane, chaga and turkey tail—alongside ashwagandha, an adaptogenic herb traditionally used to support the body's response to stress.
Long valued in traditional medicine, these mushrooms contain bioactive compounds being studied for their potential antioxidant and immune-modulating properties. Ashwagandha, meanwhile, has shown promising results in some human studies on stress and sleep. Om also emphasizes organic cultivation, growing its mushrooms on organic oats under controlled conditions.
Wind down with Om’s cocoa blend with functional mushrooms and adaptogens.
Why you should give them a try
Om combines Dutch-processed cocoa with functional mushrooms and KSM-66 ashwagandha, a standardized extract made exclusively from the plant's roots. I particularly like the convenient container, which makes storage easy, and the lightly sweetened formula, allowing me to adjust the sweetness to my taste. Smooth and creamy, it's delicious prepared with hot water or a splash of plant-based milk. While cocoa contains naturally occurring stimulants that may affect sensitive sleepers, I find this chocolate blend a comforting addition to my evening wind-down routine.
Give it a try if you're looking for a little indulgence during the colder months.
