Frequently Asked Questions

No! The banana and almond butter balance the coffee flavor perfectly. You get smooth, subtle coffee notes—not overpowering bitterness. It tastes like a coffee-flavored milkshake.

Great as breakfast, pre-workout (30-60 min before), or post-workout recovery. The combination of protein, carbs, healthy fats, and mushroom coffee makes it versatile for any morning or afternoon.

Not recommended—smoothies are best fresh. However, you can pre-portion dry ingredients (mushroom coffee + protein powder) in a container and pre-freeze banana slices for quick blending in the morning.

Yes for most people! At 240 calories with 20g protein, it's a solid breakfast or snack. For a fuller meal, add 1 tbsp chia seeds, 2 tbsp oats, or use 1.5 scoops protein powder (bringing it to ~27g protein).
