Does mushroom tea break a fast is a difficult question to answer with certainty, as its relevance depends on your type of fast and its objectives. A strict zero-calorie fast for cellular regeneration would likely break even one sip of mushroom coffee; but most people who use Intermittent Fasting for weight management, metabolic flexibility or simply to reduce breakfast hunger find that mushroom coffee doesn’t affect their fast. Each 2.5g serving typically contains 5 calories which falls well under most protocols’ 10-50 caloric thresholds.

DIRTEA’s mushroom blend also contains lion’s mane extract and adaptogenic Ashwagandha to maintain mental clarity during your fasting window, while helping regulate cortisol response and decrease stress, making extended fasting easier and more manageable.

Make sure that any added milk, sugar, creamers or other ingredients will significantly raise calories and undermine most intermittent fasting protocols. When selecting an optimal formulation for intermittent fasting, choose one with clearly-stated ingredient amounts and uses organic dual-extracted mushroom fruiting bodies for maximum effectiveness and fasting compatibility.
