A note from Brianna
I believe everything we put into our bodies has the potential to be nourishing, balancing, and harmonizing. Every time I create a recipe, my intention is for the food to embody those three things—especially when it’s something decadent like a chocolate medallion. This recipe is simple yet powerful, featuring beauty-enhancing superfoods and adaptogenic mushrooms.
Let's start with the mushrooms!
Cordyceps: Often celebrated in traditional herbal practices, Cordyceps are prized for supporting natural energy and vitality. They’ve long been associated with resilience, stamina, and overall wellness.

Lion's Mane: A favorite for centuries, Lion’s Mane is often referred to as the “Mind Power Mushroom.” Traditionally valued for supporting focus, clarity, and everyday brain health, Lion’s Mane is a versatile addition to teas, coffees, smoothies—or these chocolate medallions!
