How to Build a Healthier Morning Routine with Laird Superfood

1. Start with a functional coffee base: Brew a cup of Organic PERFORM Functional Mushroom Coffee using your preferred method (drip, French press, or pour-over). Use about 1-2 tablespoons of ground coffee per 6 ounces of water. Common mistake: over-brewing, which can make the coffee bitter. Checkpoint: aim for a brew time of 4 minutes for optimal flavor.
2. Add a superfood creamer: Stir in 1 tablespoon of Vanilla Superfood Creamer to your hot coffee. Adjust to taste, but start with a smaller amount and add more if needed. Common mistake: adding creamer to scalding coffee can cause separation; let the coffee cool slightly first. Checkpoint: taste and adjust sweetness.
3. Blend an adaptogenic smoothie: In a blender, combine 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk, 1/2 banana, 1 tablespoon of almond butter, 1 scoop of Organic Performance Mushrooms, and a handful of spinach. Blend until smooth. Common mistake: adding too much liquid makes it watery; start with less milk and add as needed. Checkpoint: consistency should be thick but pourable.
4. Upgrade your oatmeal: Cook 1/2 cup of rolled oats with water or milk. After cooking, stir in 1 teaspoon of Turmeric Superfood Creamer for a golden milk twist, plus a dash of cinnamon. Common mistake: adding creamer during cooking can cause clumping; stir in after cooking. Checkpoint: let it sit for a minute to thicken.
5. Make a golden milk latte: Heat 1 cup of your favorite milk (dairy or plant-based) in a saucepan. Whisk in 1-2 teaspoons of Turmeric Superfood Creamer until fully dissolved. Optional: add a pinch of black pepper to enhance turmeric absorption. Common mistake: boiling the milk can cause curdling; heat gently. Checkpoint: warm but not simmering.
6. Create a mushroom coffee smoothie bowl: Blend 1 cup of frozen berries, 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup of milk, and 1 scoop of Organic Performance Mushrooms. Pour into a bowl and top with granola, chia seeds, and sliced banana. Common mistake: using too many frozen fruits can make it too thick; add liquid gradually. Checkpoint: texture should be spoonable.
7. Bake superfood energy bites: Mix 1 cup of rolled oats, 1/2 cup of nut butter, 1/4 cup of honey, and 1 scoop of Organic Performance Mushrooms. Roll into small balls and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Common mistake: mixture too dry; add a little more nut butter or honey. Checkpoint: balls should hold together when rolled.

Key Laird Superfood Products for Your Morning

• Organic PERFORM Functional Mushroom Coffee - Medium Roast Ground: This is coffee unleashed. We begin with beans grown at high-altitude in the Peruvian mountains, handpicked at peak ripeness, and perfectly roasted to a medium roast profile. Then, after expertly grinding the beans down, we add a proprietary mix of organic functional mushrooms, including Chaga, Lion’s Mane, Maitake, and Cordyceps. This coffee gives you a smooth, medium roast base with a blend of adaptogens that may help with focus and energy, making it a great foundation for mushroom coffee recipes.
• Vanilla Superfood Creamer®: It took us four years to develop our Vanilla Superfood Creamer. There are many coffee creamers on the market that claim to use 'natural flavors' but do not actually use REAL vanilla because it costs too much. After years of research, we finally found a vanilla source that allows us to use REAL vanilla in our Vanilla Superfood Creamer. Real vanilla adds a rich, natural sweetness without artificial flavors, making it a tasty addition to coffee, oatmeal, or smoothies for a cleaner morning routine.
