Your alarm goes off. The familiar battle begins as you press snooze—not just once or twice, but maybe for the third, fourth, or thirteenth time. Eventually, you roll out of bed, already rushing to throw on clothes, gulp down coffee, and somehow make it to that first Zoom meeting, often still feeling half-asleep. If this scenario feels more like Groundhog Day to you than a fresh start, know you’re not alone. Mornings can feel like an uphill climb, especially for those of us who cherish our sleep.
But here’s some uplifting news: shaking up your routine with a small yet significant change could help transform your mornings from chaotic to energized. Enter plnt® mushroom and greens powders, available at The Vitamin Shoppe. These nutrient-packed blends are not only designed to boost your health but can also provide you with the energy you need to kick off your day—without relying on another high-caffeine energy drink.
Brittany Michels, MS, RDN, LDN, a registered dietitian with extensive experience at The Vitamin Shoppe, emphasizes the benefits of these green and mushroom powders. “They’re fantastic for nutrition and can be an energizing addition to any morning routine,” she says. By adding greens powder to your daily regimen, you’re not just sprinkling in some nutrients; you’re opening the door to increased mental clarity and long-term health benefits, filling in the gaps in your diet in the process. What’s not to love about that?
To see if these superfood powders would truly elevate their morning routines, three editors known for their snooze button habits decided to take the plunge and incorporate plnt® into their days. They experimented with different ways to enjoy these health-boosting blends, whether mixed into juice, dissolved in hot water, or added to smoothies.

Take it from a mom of a one-year-old: my mornings are a whirlwind. Between “Itsy Bitsy Spider” on repeat and scavenging breakfast crumbs, my mornings have morphed into a chaotic dance, often leaving me exhausted before I’m even fully awake. With my nutritional intake often lacking and a perpetual feeling of wanting a power nap, I jumped at the chance to try plnt® Energizing Greens.
“This unflavored green powder is a treasure trove of energy-boosting B vitamins from organic leafy greens, along with natural caffeine sources like matcha and green coffee beans. Plus, it’s enriched with cordyceps mushrooms for energy and endurance,” describes Michels. Honestly, I realized that introducing these caffeinated nutrients into my routine was long overdue. This powder’s greatest appeal for me is its simplicity I can mix it into a cold glass of water or almond milk in just seven seconds—yes, it’s a mini act of self-care. After that quick boost, I feel nourished, energized, and ready to tackle whatever the day throws my way. If only I had discovered this sooner!
When it comes to focus and clarity throughout the day, stress and I have become unwelcome friends. Juggling a demanding job, two young kids, and a flurry of emails and appointments often leads to a frazzled me. Rushing through mornings often leaves my mind scattered and unfocused, especially at breakfast.
So, when I had the opportunity to try plnt® Organic Lion’s Mane Powder, which is designed to help with stress support and enhance cognitive function, I was all in. This versatile superfood can be mixed into hot or cold drinks—though I prefer it with a splash of creamer. It’s got a smooth profile that feels like a luxurious cross between coffee and tea, with just a hint of caramel. After sipping my first cup, I finally felt the fog lift. I was able to brainstorm effectively and tackle my to-do list with newfound vigor. No more struggling through that mid-morning slump!
And let’s not forget those of you who have stepped away from caffeine. I know what it’s like to skip the morning coffee but still crave that something special to enjoy while others sip their brews. If you’re looking for a drink that’s both enjoyable and comes with stress, immunity, and digestion benefits, look no further than plnt® Vital Greens Superfood Powder.
This splendid blend of organic greens, microgreens, and potent veggies such as beets and broccoli provides essential energy and supports well-being, all without the caffeine jolt. I’ve found that stirring a scoop into lemonade offers a delicious, sweet treat that satisfies my cravings and gives me a refreshing burst of nutrients. Simplifying my morning routine with this powerhouse drink has been a total game changer, requiring zero additional fuss on my part while enriching my health.
If you’re someone who’s navigated hectic mornings, we’ve been there too. Modifying your routine can pave the way for a smoother start to the day, making room for a little self-care and nourishing yourself along the way. So, why not consider adding these superfood blends to your arsenal? You never know—tomorrow’s morning might just be your best yet!
