Cool.
I just got this box of mushroom coffee mix.
Basically it's coffee mixed with Chaga mushroom.
There's less caffeine in this coffee than a normal cup of coffee.
You're supposed to still get the same boost, brain boost, brain jive
from a regular cup of coffee in this cup of coffee.
Chaga mushroom's supposed to be anti-inflammatory and all around good for you.
I was already familiar with Chaga mushroom.
I have raw Chaga mushroom, which I was brewing when I was going through a Crohn's flare up last year.
So hearing that coffee and Chaga mushroom were combined together sounded pretty awesome.
My morning concoction that I've been doing is...
I used to do bulletproof coffee.
I just found it was pretty highly caloric and I wasn't really feeling that much different than if I didn't have it.
What I did find that I do like is MCT oil.
So, you got this giant bottle on Amazon.
MCT Oil.
Basically I do two tablespoons of this in a cup of coffee.
Super, super good.
What I realized made a lot of difference was when I had it in the day.
So, I will have this now as soon as I wake up.
Fasted.
Lately that has just been my breakfast.
So, anyways, that's what I've been doing.
Now I'm very curious about the Chaga coffee.
I'm pretty excited about this.
An update with the Chaga mushroom coffee.
I didn't feel as alert as I normally do.
I will say the caveat is I take a lot of caffeine a day.
I'm a pretty big coffee drinker.
I'm kind of addicted to caffeine.
Three cups of Chaga coffee and I still felt really tired,
so then I also had a shot of espresso.
Usually I'll have about three shots of espresso in espresso pots throughout the day.
So, I believe that's probably about 200mg of caffeine, 250mg of caffeine.
The Chaga says it only has about 40mg of caffeine.
The point of the Chaga, it's supposed to balance out the low amount of caffeine
and still give you the same feeling as a full cup of coffee.
For me, hasn't so much.
It tastes very good. It doesn't taste mushroomy.
It kind of taste a little earthy.
Does not taste citrusy or acidic, which I like.
I like more earthy flavored coffees.
Definitely has a little bit of an instant taste,
but I guess it also depends on how much you dilute it with water.
I do recommend it, especially if you're not a big coffee drinker or if you're looking to cut down on coffee
or you don't like the coffee jiters.
Yeah, after the cup of coffee, I definitely did feel mentally alert a little bit.
It just wasn't totally enough to get me going.
As far as the fatCoffee, tasted pretty good.
It didn't taste as good as if you were to actually put butter or ghee fresh in it and blend it yourself.
Soft of balance of ease to make it and the taste was really good.
So, as far as fatCoffee goes.
If you are looking to get into bulletproof coffee,
but maybe you don't want to go through the whole hassle of making it,
This is a good way to try it.
If you're traveling and you really like bulletproof coffee, this is a good thing to have.
I think it's one of the things that you should try, but just for me personally, bulletproof coffee isn't my thing.
I just really like MCT oil and coffee right when I wake up.
One more experiment.
I'm gonna try the Chaga coffee with the fatCoffee, bulletproof thing, and I'm gonna put some protein in it.
This is Collagen Peptide that I got from the biohack box in another video.
20 grams of Collagen Peptides.
I'm kind of treating this like a post workout shake.
I just worked out.
I'm about to go to work.
That's partly why I'm having protein.
I'm gonna add some creatine in it and some glutamine. Good for the gut.
Got the drink ready. We will see how this goes.
It's the end of the day now. Earlier in the day I made the super drink I wanted to try out.
The collagen protein was really awesome. It did not clump up in hot liquids like some other protein powders,
some whey protein powders that I've used do.
The drink tasted pretty good. Felt pretty good.
It was a lot more filling than just the fatCoffee and the regular coffee.
And I think right now I'll go to the other part that I already filmed.
Hope that helped. Thanks for watching.
