*This post is my personal MUD WTR Review and is not sponsored! Hopefully, it helps you on your journey to find the energy and answers your questions!
Coffee, seems like a must for any mom but then the crash happens. We have all felt it and tried to push through it, but is there another way to energize without the crash?! I’m happy to report that after trying MUD\WTR for the last few months I can say there is! This MUD WTR review is my honest opinion and I hope it helps you on your journey toward a more energized life. There are also additional mud water recipe ideas at the end of the post. These will give you various ways to switch up getting this into your body every day.
What is MUD\WTR?
MUD\WTR is a powder blend of mushrooms, masala chai, cacao, turmeric, and vanilla. The combined ingredients offer up a delicious coffee alternative that you can enjoy hot or cold. Obviously, MUD\WTR intended this drink to be consumed hot if you are looking for a coffee replacement but I prefer it cold.
The health benefits of drinking MUD\WTR can be found by simply looking at each ingredient. The blend of mushrooms that make up a large component of the drink is phenomenal for anyone. If you are concerned about where the ingredients are sourced, the mushrooms come from a farm in California called Om Organics. These mushrooms offer a more medicinal purpose than the ones you often cook with. Often these mushrooms can be adaptogens which means they can help deal with the daily stressors of life. It is important to note none of these mushrooms will have any type of psychedelic effect. You won’t be tripping on these! 🙂
Ingredients of MUD\WTR
Mushrooms found in MUD\WTR
– Lionsmane (mental performance)
– Cordyceps (physical performance)
– Reishi (recovery and immunity)
– Chaga (overall health)
Other Key Ingredients:
– Turmeric (inflammation)
– Cacao (mood)
– Cinnamon
In the times we find ourselves in, we can all agree that having a strong immune system is key to staying healthy. While your cup of coffee might offer some morning comfort, MUD WTR offers something far greater than coffee and that is all of the above ingredients that can boost immunity and mental clarity.
What Does MUD WTR Taste Like?
Let’s get to the taste. If you approach MUD WTR thinking it will taste like your morning coffee then you will be disappointed. I like to look at MUD WTR as more of a tea. With the chai included among the ingredients, you can definitely taste the spicy notes the chai lends. With that being said, if you drink this with just hot water mixed up it will definitely have a muddy taste, hence the name. I recommend coconut milk, oat milk, or almond milk to create more of a chai tea latte experience. I found that adding a type of sweetener is key. The sweetener will cut through any chalky, muddy taste and smooth out the experience of drinking MUD WTR!
Recipe Ideas Using MUD WTR:
As mentioned earlier, I prefer to drink my MUD WTR COLD. Here is my favorite frappe-style mud water recipe drink.
MUD WTR FRAPPE
1 1/2 FROZEN BANANA
1 CUP COCONUT MILK
2 TBSP HONEY
1 TBSP MUD WTR
1/3 CUP OF ICE
(OPTIONAL: I have also added 2 scoops of vanilla protein powder and it was delicious too!)
Blend all the ingredients together and enjoy!
If you are looking for an iced coffee style drink this is a perfect mud water recipe that’s very similar to your favorite coffee house iced beverage:
1 cup of warmed coconut milk
1 tbsp MUD WTR
2 tbsp honey
1 cup of ice
Warm your preferred milk choice up, add the MUD mix with the 2 tbsp of honey then top with the cup ice.
If you are looking for a coffee replacement that also provides natural energy, the MUD WTR mix can certainly provide a small dose of caffeine without the crash.
Other Ways To Incorporate MUD into your life:
If you find that the mud drink isn’t for you, consider adding the powder to:
- energy balls
- muffins
- pancakes
- smoothies
- granola
I find that the taste of mud water pairs well with:
- pumpkin
- banana
- vanilla
- chocolate
- nutty flavors.
These are a few ideas to get creative with if the drink just isn’t for you!
Where to order?
You can purchase MUD/WTR on their website. There are a few ways to get started drinking your MUD. There is a 30 serving starter kit. This is the set I originally purchased. It comes with a 30 day supply of MUD, a sample of cococnut creamer, and a frother. This set is $40 which is like you are getting the frother and creamer for free.
If the set is not something you want you can order a 30-day serving tin or a larger 90 day supply bag. MUD WTR also sells a sweetener bag and a creamer bag. Note that you can get a cheaper price if you are signed up with their monthly subscription plan, however, if you see you do not need another tin make sure to contact them well in advance to skip the month or you will be sent another tin. You can cancel your subscription at any time. Their text robot system makes it easy to send a simple text to skip the month or delay your order by a week to 3 weeks.
There is also a location finder on their website that will connect you to local boutiques and health stores that sell the mud\wtr product. You just might live in an area where you can pick a tin up today! 🙂
My MUD WTR Review and Final Thoughts:
After going through 2 cans of this mix, I can honestly say that I really enjoy it. With that being said, I will be honest, I still have my one cup of coffee in the morning and use my MUD\WTR for an afternoon iced beverage. It is the PERFECT pick me up when I am tired post-lunch and it DOES NOT keep me up at night. The tiny bit of caffeine (1/7th the amount found in coffee per serving) isn’t noticeable and you will not feel jittery at all. I do notice that I am more alert and my mental state is sharper. This product allows me to plow through the afternoon fog and keeps me energized while doing it.
If you are looking for a mudwtr alternative that still has the coffee taste you may want to try mushroom coffee. Four Sigmatic makes an excellent blend of mushrooms with coffee so you are getting the taste with the health benefits of the added mushrooms. You can check out this brand on Amazon which makes it easier to shop too!

I will always keep a tin of MUD on my counter and I hope you try it too! Let me know if you have any questions! Happy shopping.
