Ryze Mushroom Coffee is a blend of organic Arabica coffee, six adaptogenic mushrooms, MCT oil, and coconut milk powder. Each serving is one tablespoon (6 grams), and a standard bag contains 30 servings. It’s an instant coffee, so you just mix it with hot water.
The Six Mushrooms
The core of what makes Ryze different from regular coffee is its mushroom blend. Each serving contains a mix of six mushroom extracts: lion’s mane, reishi, cordyceps, shiitake, turkey tail, and king trumpet. These are all functional mushrooms with long histories in traditional medicine, and each one plays a slightly different role in the formula.
Lion’s mane is the one most associated with mental clarity and focus. It contains compounds that support nerve growth factor production, which is why it shows up in so many nootropic supplements. Reishi is typically used for relaxation and immune support, and it’s one reason the blend is marketed as providing calm energy rather than the jittery kind. Cordyceps has a reputation for boosting physical energy and oxygen utilization. Shiitake and turkey tail are primarily included for immune-supporting properties, while king trumpet adds additional antioxidants and nutrients.
The product doesn’t disclose exactly how many milligrams of each mushroom extract you get per serving. The total blend is mixed into that 6-gram scoop alongside the coffee and fat sources, so individual mushroom doses are relatively small compared to what you’d get from a standalone mushroom supplement.
The Coffee Base
The coffee component is organic Arabica, which is the same species used in most specialty coffee. The key difference is how much caffeine you’re getting. One serving of Ryze delivers about 48 milligrams of caffeine, which is less than half what you’d get from a standard 8-ounce cup of brewed coffee (typically 80 to 100 milligrams). That lower dose is intentional. The idea is that the mushroom extracts provide a complementary energy boost, so you don’t need as much caffeine to feel alert.
If you’re sensitive to caffeine or trying to cut back, that 48-milligram range puts Ryze closer to a cup of green tea than a cup of coffee.
Fats: MCT Oil and Coconut Milk
Ryze includes both MCT oil and coconut milk powder in the blend. MCT stands for medium-chain triglycerides, a type of fat derived from coconut oil that the body absorbs quickly and converts to energy faster than most dietary fats. It’s a common addition in keto-friendly and “bulletproof” style coffees because it adds a creamy mouthfeel and a small energy boost without sugar.
The coconut milk powder serves a similar purpose, giving the drink a slightly richer texture straight out of the packet. Despite these fat sources, the nutrition label shows 0 grams of fat per serving, which means the amounts are small enough to round down to zero under labeling rules.
Nutrition Per Serving
A single tablespoon serving of Ryze Mushroom Coffee contains 20 calories, 5 grams of carbohydrates, zero grams of fat, and zero grams of protein. There’s no added sugar, and the product is free of gluten, dairy, and soy. The carbohydrates likely come from the mushroom extracts and coconut milk powder.
Ryze doesn’t include any sweeteners in the formula. The company suggests adding your own creamer or sweetener to taste, so the base product is unsweetened. If you’ve seen flavored versions or variations, those may differ, but the original mushroom coffee is plain.
What’s Not in It
The product is made with organic ingredients and is marketed as non-GMO. It contains no sugar, dairy, soy, or gluten. However, Ryze does not have third-party testing verification from an independent lab. This means there’s no outside confirmation of purity, potency, or contaminant levels. For context, many supplement and functional food brands submit their products to organizations like NSF International or USP for independent testing. Without that step, you’re relying on the company’s own quality claims.
How It Tastes and How to Make It
You make Ryze by stirring one tablespoon into 8 to 10 ounces of hot water. It dissolves like any instant coffee. The taste is often described as milder and earthier than regular coffee, with a slightly nutty quality from the mushroom extracts. It doesn’t taste strongly of mushrooms in the savory, culinary sense, but there’s a noticeable depth that plain instant coffee doesn’t have.
Many people add oat milk, almond milk, or a sweetener like honey to round out the flavor. You can also blend it with ice for a cold version or mix it into a smoothie. Since it’s instant, there’s no brewing equipment required.
