Start off the day with a cup of Laird Superfood's functional Boost Coffee blend, which delivers 15% of one's daily value of Vitamin D (when brewed according to directions), made with functional mushroom extracts and botanicals. Mix in the brand's signature Superfood Creamers, a blend of sustainably sourced plant-based ingredients that includes Aquamin™, and you have a remarkably delicious and nourishing cup of coffee. Finish off the day with a cup of Laird Superfood's Hot Chocolate, thoughtfully created to include real ingredients like organic cacao powder, organic cinnamon powder, and coconut milk powder along with extracts of three of nature's nourishing mushrooms.

"Laird Superfood shares our commitment to fueling our athletes with real, quality nutrition," said Michael O'Conor, Chief Revenue Officer at U.S. Ski & Snowboard.
