The Genius Brand Genius Brilliant Brew - Natural Coffee Substitute for Clear Thinking, Energy & Immune Support - No Crash or Jitters - Powered by Nootropics - Non-GMO - 30 Servings - Sweet Cocoa

Update (& added the fifth star): I struggle a lot with headaches. I’ve had one creeping up for the past two and a half weeks, and today it hit full force. Once they start, nothing ever helps — not meds, not hot/cold packs, stretches, exercises, naps — they always just get worse. Or so I thought. Out of a need to feel assuaged, I made myself a serving of this, and my headache is suddenly mostly gone! It’s hovering between a 0.5 and a 1. I’m floored. Normally, my headaches escalate until they affect my eyesight (though they’re not migraines), and nothing has ever managed them. I usually just hope the combination of meds and a full night’s sleep make it go away but even that occasionally doesn’t work. I’m about to go make myself another half serving because this actually helped. Original review (with updates): The Salted Caramel wasn’t for me. I’ve been able to tone it down with a splash of butter rum and vanilla extracts with a touch of ChocZero’s caramel drink syrup (which is pretty good), but ultimately ended up just mixing it into the sweet cocoa flavor, instead. However, I still wouldn’t buy that flavor again. That said, I think my taste buds may be biased here. The two flavors I’ve loved most all my life — caramel (in anything sweet or drinkable) and blue raspberry (in candies) — are the ones I struggled with most in this brand. They taste so different from what I’m used to that my first sip of each was honestly a bit jarring. But that’s just my experience; flavor is subjective, after all, and I probably just need to get used to the flavors the mushrooms add as this is my first experience with mushroom products. The product itself really works to the point where I find myself craving it when I need energy. That effectiveness, combined with today’s headache relief, makes it more than worth it.

I like this product, but it’s expensive. When you get this product there is a QR code on the lid for 25% off your next order. But when you input the code at checkout it says the promo code is not valid. It’s frustrating and will affect if I buy this product again. The company contacted me and made this issue more than right. I will continue to buy this product because I really do like it. Changing review to 5 stars for their customer service.

I combine this with my barista milk while frothing with a shot or two of espresso to make a salted caramel latte. The flavor is on point, and I notice a difference in taste and my 1% extra of self. Also, the mixing is on point without any clumps. I also mix this with DOSE, which doesn't have this amazing salted caramel flavor.

False advertisement it does mention 0 sugar but it does not mention it has stevia so you discover the stevia until you read closely the ingredients unfortunately I found out when tasted and lm allergic to stevia

I added a little cocoa mix to tone down taste . It wasn't too difficult to mix with hot water like some others are.

I really like this coffee substitute. I had it with hot milk and it tasted like hot chocolate. Despite only having 30 mg of caffeine, it gave me a boost comparable to drinking an energy drink but with more focus and no jitters. It also did not negatively affect my sleep at night! I will be buying this again!

I adore a lot of the genius products and buy them regularly, this one had a little too strong of a cocoa flavor to it (cocoa flavor gives me headaches) so not a winner for me but shared with people at work :)

I purchased this cause I was looking for a way to replace my afternoon cold brew; but didn’t want to give up the taste of my cold brew. So I came across this, and knowing the company (I’ve bought other Genius products) I trusted this item to be of great quality. And I was not disappointed! Tastes just like my cold brew that I love sipping in the afternoon, but now I won’t have to worry about the caffeine keeping me awake at night. Plus, it feels good knowing I’m feeding my body all these healthy ingredients.

I’m no stranger to the caffeine hustle, but let’s be real, the crash can leave me feeling like I’m running on empty by midday. Enter Genius Brilliant Brew, the coffee alternative that promises to keep me sharp, energized, and feeling good without that dreaded crash. Oh, and did I mention it’s also got adaptogens and mushroom power? Yeah, it’s basically like giving your brain a spa day. Pros: • Natural Energy: This isn’t your typical jolt of energy. The nootropic blend (think adaptogens and mushrooms) helps you stay focused and clear-headed without the spike-and-crash rollercoaster. Goodbye, jitters, hello productivity! • Zero Sugar, Zero Guilt: No need to worry about a sugar rush or an unhealthy added-sweetener situation. It’s sugar-free and has no preservatives or artificial flavors, making it feel like a clean, guilt-free way to fuel your day. • Smooth Taste: I’m not a fan of artificial-tasting “healthy” products, and luckily, this one has a smooth, earthy flavor that’s easy to drink. It’s not quite coffee, but it’s a decent alternative if you’re looking to switch things up. • Non-GMO & Soy-Free: If you’re picky about what you put in your body (and rightfully so), you’ll be happy to know that this brew is non-GMO and soy-free, making it a more mindful choice for health-conscious folks. Cons: • Mushroom Flavor: If you’re not a fan of the earthy mushroom flavor, it might take some getting used to. It’s definitely not as smooth and comforting as your usual coffee, but hey, it’s a health-conscious swap. • Not a Full Coffee Substitute: If you’re looking for that bold, deep coffee flavor to jump-start your morning, this might not fully satisfy your coffee cravings. But if you’re after a gentler, long-lasting energy, this will be your new go-to. Conclusion: The Genius Brilliant Brew is the perfect solution for anyone who wants a natural energy boost without the jitters or the midday crash. It’s smooth, clean, and packs a punch with mushrooms and adaptogens. While it may not replace your morning cup of joe entirely, it’s a fantastic option for those who want to power through the day in a more balanced and focused way. If you’re tired of the caffeine rollercoaster, give this brainy brew a shot!
