RYZE Mushroom Chicory: Ingredients, Taste & Caffeine-Free Guide

RYZE Mushroom Chicory is an instant, coffee-free drink made with roasted chicory root, a six-mushroom blend, coconut milk powder, and MCT oil powder. Unlike RYZE Mushroom Coffee, it contains 0 mg caffeine and no coffee beans. It is designed for people who like the idea of a warm coffee-style drink but prefer to skip caffeine.

That distinction is worth making up front: this isn't decaffeinated coffee. There is no coffee to remove caffeine from in the first place. RYZE sells it as a separate product, not a new roast of Mushroom Coffee.

Below we'll look at the ingredient label, how it tastes according to RYZE, the differences from Mushroom Coffee, and what to check before buying. This is an independent label-based guide, not a firsthand taste test.

RYZE's published ingredient list is relatively short. It includes roasted chicory root, an organic mushroom blend, organic coconut milk powder, and organic MCT oil powder. These ingredients serve different purposes in the cup.

• Roasted chicory root: the coffee-free roasted base. Chicory has an earthy, slightly bitter quality that can resemble coffee without supplying caffeine.
• Six-mushroom blend: Cordyceps, Lion's Mane, Reishi, Shiitake, Turkey Tail and King Trumpet. RYZE lists a total of 1,000 mg of mushroom blend per serving, not 1,000 mg of each species.
• Coconut milk powder: helps give the instant drink a creamier character without requiring milk in the mug.
• MCT oil powder: contributes to the product's creamier formulation. Its presence is not evidence that the drink will produce a guaranteed energy or focus effect.

One label detail is easy to miss: while RYZE describes most of the formula as organic, its ingredient-support article specifically says the chicory root is not organic. So don't assume every individual ingredient is certified organic.

RYZE discloses the combined mushroom-blend weight, but not an amount for every mushroom. That limits any attempt to compare the individual mushrooms with quantities used in clinical research.

No. RYZE Mushroom Chicory is caffeine-free and coffee-free. Its roasted flavor comes from chicory root rather than instant coffee. RYZE also confirms that it doesn't go through a decaffeination process; the ingredients are naturally caffeine-free.

That makes it an option worth investigating if you are avoiding caffeine altogether. It does not mean the drink is medically suitable for everyone or that its mushrooms and fibers will affect everyone the same way.

For a product-by-product caffeine breakdown, our RYZE caffeine guide compares Mushroom Chicory with the Medium and Dark Roast coffees.

RYZE's current help documentation lists 30 servings per bag, approximately 23 calories per serving, and 1,000 mg of mushrooms per serving. The brand also describes the product as containing no sugar, but always read the nutrition panel on the bag you purchase, as formulations and package formats can change.

There's an important difference between the 1,000 mg blend listed here and the 2,000 mg blend listed for RYZE's current Mushroom Coffee products. The two drinks are not simply the same mushroom formula with coffee removed.

RYZE describes Mushroom Chicory as robust and full-bodied, with slightly nutty notes, somewhat like a mild cup of coffee. That description is useful as a starting point, but it comes from the manufacturer.

If you normally drink espresso or strong dark-roast coffee, a chicory-based drink won't necessarily offer the same aroma or finish. If your favorite part of coffee is the warm, roasted ritual rather than caffeine itself, this may be an easier switch to consider.

The coconut milk and MCT powders may also influence how creamy it feels compared with a plain brewed chicory drink. Adding cinnamon or your preferred milk is an option, but flavor is subjective, and we haven't independently taste-tested this product.

The choice isn't just a question of roast preference. One drink contains coffee, and the other doesn't.

Choose Chicory to explore a caffeine-free coffee alternative. Consider Medium Roast if you still want some caffeine and a more familiar instant-coffee base. For a higher-caffeine version, our RYZE Dark Roast guide covers its separate formula.

The manufacturer's instructions are simple: it is an instant powder, not a ground-coffee product that needs a filter or machine.

1. Check the serving size on your own package. RYZE's published instructions use 1 tablespoon.
2. Add the powder to your mug or glass.
3. Pour in approximately 6–8 oz of hot or cold water or milk.
4. Stir thoroughly until combined. A small handheld frother can help smooth out the mixture.
5. Add cinnamon or a sweetener if you like, and stir again before drinking if any powder settles.

For an iced cup, mixing the powder into a small amount of liquid first may make it easier to combine before topping up with cold water or ice. Check your bag's directions if they differ from the online listing.

It contains coconut-derived ingredients. If you avoid coconut or have relevant allergies, read the packaging carefully before ordering.

Chicory and other ingredients may not suit every stomach. Chicory is associated with prebiotic compounds, but that isn't a promise of digestive benefits. Some people experience gastrointestinal discomfort with certain fibers or ingredients. RYZE itself advises reviewing the ingredients and consulting a clinician if the drink causes discomfort.

Don't expect a caffeine-driven boost. Since it contains zero caffeine, descriptions of steady energy or mental clarity are promotional claims, not evidence of a stimulant effect.

Check the actual checkout price. Promotional subscription prices can change, and first-shipment offers may not match later refill costs. Our subscription guide explains what to check, while the RYZE discount and deals page covers offer eligibility.

If you have medical concerns, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or take medication, ask a qualified healthcare professional about the ingredients rather than treating product marketing as personal medical guidance.

Is RYZE Mushroom Chicory the same as decaf coffee?

No. It contains no coffee at all, so it doesn't need to be decaffeinated. Its roasted character comes from chicory root.

How much caffeine is in Mushroom Chicory?

Zero milligrams, according to RYZE's published product information.

Does RYZE Mushroom Chicory contain mushrooms?

Yes. RYZE lists six species in a combined 1,000 mg blend per serving, without publishing a separate quantity for each species.

Does it contain coconut?

Yes. The listed ingredients include organic coconut milk powder and organic MCT oil powder. Check the current package for allergen details.

Can you drink RYZE Mushroom Chicory at night?

Because it contains no caffeine, it avoids caffeine-related sleep disruption. However, that doesn't mean everyone will tolerate every ingredient equally, or that it guarantees better sleep.

Is it better than RYZE Mushroom Coffee?

Neither is automatically better. Chicory is coffee-free and caffeine-free; Medium Roast contains coffee and approximately 50 mg caffeine. Your priorities determine which is the more useful fit.

RYZE Mushroom Chicory fills a different role from the brand's mushroom coffee. If you like a warm roasted drink but want no coffee and no caffeine, its chicory-based formula is worth understanding.

The ingredient list is straightforward, but it comes with trade-offs: it uses a 1,000 mg combined mushroom blend, includes coconut-derived powders, and its coffee-like taste is a manufacturer description rather than a promise that you'll enjoy it.

Before buying, compare the ingredient label with your preferences and check current pricing and subscription terms. For the brand's caffeinated products, start with our caffeine guide or browse the RYZE blog guides.
