Cook \u2018em<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you love being in the kitchen, this is a great place to start enjoying certain functional mushrooms. Cooking with whole mushrooms layers in some earthy flavor while also delivering fiber and naturally occurring bioactives, according to Schweig.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can sautee lion\u2019s mane (it shreds like crab!) with veggies, toss shiitake into stir-fries, or add a handful of mixed mushrooms to soups, stews, and grain bowls. Alongside their other bioactive compounds, whole mushrooms bring<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S1756464625002543\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> prebiotic fiber<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to the table, which supports gut health, notes Michels. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Roast a big pan of mushrooms on Sunday that you can add to eggs, tacos, and pasta throughout the rest of the week.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Powders and drink mixes<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Love a cozy, indulgent drink? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/herbs-natural-remedies\/popular-herbs\/mushrooms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Functional mushroom drink mixes<\/a> are an easy upgrade to your favorite sip. Lately, brands have been incorporating these health-loving \u2018shrooms into everything from matcha to cocoa to coffee.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Michels recommends options like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/mud-wtr-matcha-matcha-8-packet-s\/mud-15413\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MUD\/WTR Matcha<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which combines matcha and several functional mushrooms for calm, focused energy, or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/mud-wtr-original-cacao-72-g-powder\/mud-15410\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MUD\/WTR Cacao<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, an earthy hot-cocoa that promises plenty of shroomy goodness and zero sugar crash.

Gummies<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For anyone who hates pills or powders, gummies can be a lighter, tastier way to get functional mushrooms in.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Options include <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/lion-mane-gummies-mixed-berry-60-gummies\/vs-4378\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Vitamin Shoppe brand Mixed Berry Lion\u2019s Mane Gummies<\/span><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/om-lions-mane-gummies-1000mg-strawberry-60-gummies\/oom-11159\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">OM Lion\u2019s Mane Strawberry Gummies<\/span><\/a>.

Still significant, just not\u00a0<em>quite<\/em> as potent.<\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Chews<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you prefer something snacky that you can toss in your bag, chews are another great option. These tasty, candy-like supplements may offer a softer texture than gummies but are just as portable and fun to pop into your routine. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/modern-mushrooms-chews-cinnamon-roll-60-chews\/hfm1087\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Force Factor Modern Mushrooms Cinnamon Roll Chews<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are popular, offering a dessert-like taste while still delivering functional mushroom support, notes Michels. They\u2019re an easy grab-and-go choice for the afternoon slump, the school pick-up line, or even right before a long meeting when you want a little boost without the hassle of mixing or measuring.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5. Liquids<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ready-to-sip supplements are all the rage right now\u2014and even mushrooms are getting in on the trend. Liquid options make adding mushrooms to your day effortless, since you don\u2019t need a blender or scooper to prepare them. Just keep a bottle in the fridge and pour out your measured dose when you need it. One tasty option is the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/lion-mane-mushroom-coffee-cake-7-6-fl-oz\/mru-15367\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mary Ruth&#8217;s Organic Coffee Cake Lion\u2019s Mane Liquid<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which has a sweet, rich flavor. You can take it straight by following the cap-measured serving, or swirl it into iced coffee or oat milk for an easy upgrade to your daily routine.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>6. Even\u2026protein powders?!<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Believe it or not, even your post-workout shake can double as a mushroom delivery system these days.

Of course, Capsules and Tinctures<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Capsules and tinctures might not disguise functional mushrooms as candy or taste like coffee cake, but they are, nonetheless, some of the most reliable ways to incorporate potent doses of these powerful fungi into your day\u2014and so, they deserve a mention! Straightforward and not terribly exciting, these supplements make getting a consistent daily dose of functional mushrooms as simple as can be.
