    I have been quite intrigued by mushroom powder lately! Does it make the smoothie have a mushroomy taste at all? Not that I mind mushrooms, I’m just not sure how I’d feel about them with bananas… haha.

      Not at all. You only use a small amount of powder — not enough to notice a flavor at all next to the chocolate flavor.

      Raia, I use mushroom powder is my smoothies daily, and it’s great tasting – actually a bit like coffee in flavor, so it goes great with the smoothie ingredients here, even if you can taste it. 🙂
