🍄 About Lion’s Mane:

Lion’s Mane is a functional mushroom known for its nootropic properties—meaning it may help support memory, focus, and nerve health. It's a caffeine-free powerhouse that blends beautifully into lattes, smoothies, or elixirs.

Pro Tip: Always choose lion’s mane powders labeled “fruiting body only” and “dual-extracted” for maximum benefits.

Milk: Almond, oat, coconut, or macadamia milk all work

Sweetener: Try monk fruit, stevia, or honey

Fat Boost: Use MCT oil, ghee, or coconut oil
