Spooky Smoothie for Energy + Glow

Spooky Smoothie for Energy + Glow

A better-for-you Halloween treat, no sugar crash required.

Between candy bowls, caramel apples, and spooky-themed desserts, Halloween often brings more sugar highs than actual energy. But there's a better way to treat yourself.

Enter: the Spooky Smoothie.

Fueled by Cordyceps and Ultimate Mushroom Complex (UMC), this festive two-tone drink supports energy, immunity, and glow—all in one delicious, functional blend.

This season, trade the sugar rush for something that actually treats your body well.

Spotlight: Cordyceps = Energy Magic

Cordyceps is best known for supporting stamina, endurance, and athletic performance. It offers clean, sustained energy without the jitters or crash that comes with caffeine. Think of a smooth focus that lasts, whether you're starting your day or pushing through an afternoon slump.

FreshCap’s Cordyceps powder is made from water-extracted fruiting bodies for high potency and real, noticeable results.

Spotlight: UMC = Daily Shield for Resilience

Ultimate Mushroom Complex combines six functional mushrooms: Lion’s Mane, Reishi, Chaga, Cordyceps, Turkey Tail, and Maitake—for full-spectrum daily support.

One scoop helps your body stay strong, clear-headed, and resilient especially during busy, stress-heavy seasons.
