Recently, I have been adding performance mushroom powder to my morning coffee. You can't taste it at all, and I love the health benefits it adds.
So I thought I would create a hot cocoa recipe using mushrooms. You would never know there's mushroom powder in it.
This vegan hot cocoa tastes like any other but with the added benefits of mushrooms. Mushroom powder is also good in a Smoothie Booster.
Other hot cocoa recipes to try are my Vegan Peanut Butter Hot Cocoa recipe and Spiced Hot Cocoa.
For a drink to cool off with, try my Chocolate Boba. Other recipes are my Vegan Molasses Hot Cocoa recipe and my Chocolate Maca Coffee recipe.

🧾 Ingredients

- Mushroom powder: I used a blend of mushroom powders, but you could use a single variety.
- Maple syrup: Adds a sweet maple flavor. You could also use agave syrup or your favorite sweetener.
- Vanilla extract: Enhances flavors.

I'm accumulating these ingredients to try this recipe or small variation on it. Can you confirm that you really meant 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract? That seems super high to me.
Willow Moon says
