Why Cordyceps?

Cordyceps militaris, a functional mushroom often referred to as the “energy mushroom”, has earned its place in the modern wellness routine for its unique ability to support energy levels, stamina, endurance, and recovery from everyday physical activity [1, 2]. Real Mushrooms Organic Cordyceps-M® Extract Powder delivers this support in a convenient, filler-free format, perfect for adding not only to your smoothies, but also to coffee, oatmeal, or almost any of your favorite recipes.

Cordyceps contain naturally occurring compounds like beta-glucans, which research suggests may help support cellular energy processes [3], maintain healthy circulation, and promote overall vitality [1]. These qualities make Cordyceps a thoughtful addition to both active days and focused work sessions. So whether you're easing into your morning or recharging after an intense workout, Cordyceps offers nutritional support to help you stay steady and energized throughout the day.

Tips for Cordyceps Smoothie Success

  • Start small: If you’re new to functional mushrooms, begin with ½ tsp of Cordyceps and work up to 1 tsp daily.
  • Choose quality: Real Mushrooms® extracts are made from 100% mushrooms (fruiting bodies), never grain, starch, or fillers.
  • Personalize it: Boost your Cordyceps smoothie with chia seeds, flax, or additional neutral-tasting mushroom powders like Lion’s Mane or Tremella to align with your daily wellness goals.

Sustainable Energy Starts Here

The best part? These smoothies don’t rely on caffeine or sugar for flavor or function. Instead, they’re powered by real, functional ingredients that support your body’s natural rhythm. Rather than causing a quick high and low, they offer a balanced option designed to help you feel steady and well throughout the day.
