While Hollywood might believe in granting one drink a sacrosanct status-the sacred cup of coffee-Frankel, on the other hand, seems to be looking the other way. Her morning coffee ritual is quite interesting; she would concoct her frothy health-conscious t by mixing such trendy and functional ingredients as functional coffee, mushrooms, and colostrum. A video went viral on Instagram, and the followers reacted vehemently against this kind of drink.

Bethenny Frankel dives head-first into wellness, her new incarnation all about the “functional coffee era.” The former Real Housewives star did an Instagram video of how she makes her morning brew, far from a simple morning cup of joe. From her kitchen, Frankel enthusiastically poured mushroom coffee for functionality, fiber, and colostrum as she disparagingly called it “very smart.” She basically said that it was like a smoothie, except it just didn’t really feel like coffee in the moment.
The key ingredient, according to Frankel, was a little bit of good-quality instant coffee for that esoteric kick-it-kick, then essentially, “you’re really not drinking much coffee” at the same time. She then says to blend it with purified water until “totally smooth and frothy,” add better-for-you creamer and sweetener, pour over ice into their signature glass with a lid. “It’s very good. Very good,” she giggled with the private thought of how good this new ritual was going to be.
The posting, captioned simply, “It’s coffee talk time,” sparked instant activity in the comment sections. Followers lay divided, some intrigued by the health hack, others confused by the food combinations. One user went so far as stating the contradiction: “Looks delicious BUT if I could do all of that WITHOUT coffee I don’t need the coffee 😅”. The comment cuts right to the heart of the debate: Are those who see coffee simply as a necessary delivery mechanism for caffeine holding it apart from functional drinks seen by others as genuine avenues to wellness?
The rest of the fans are even more inspired and would turn this Frankel concoction into one step further with their nutritional enhancements. “Ohhh love that! I’d make it my own by adding some protein and creatine and boom 🔥,” one commenter exclaimed, showing how such content often acts as a springboard to personalized health regimens. But some don’t seem to be behind the flavor profile of the key ingredient. One skeptic commenter stated, “All mushroom coffee is awful to me, glad you enjoy it 😂,” grounding the often-shiny world of influencer-force wellness.
The comment section would soon go off into various aside routes, almost par for the course on a Frankel thread. Several users appeared far more interested in her sartorial choices than figuring out the drink; some demanded links for her pajamas and the unique lidded glass she used. Another follower tried rescuing the conversation, “I’m good on coffee and snack ideas can we have a jewelry tour.” This is to highlight the varied interest of her audience that follows her for business acumen, lifestyle tips, and her unfiltered personality.
One comment went below the radar: “My favorite thing about your page is all the people who follow you looking for your honest opinions on everything from food, skin care to parenting and then criticize you for the exact reason they are on your page. Keep doing you. ❤️.” That observation sparked a mini-topic around fandom and what constitutes authenticity, as another commented that her “brash talk and attitude” offered “a gentle distraction from the real issues of this world.”

Amid the chatter came a much more grounded concern for caffeine: “Looks yummy 😋 where can you buy mushroom coffee ☕️ does it have caffeine in it I can’t have caffeine because of my heart.” One member after the other jumped in, reviewing brands like “Everyday Dose” and “Better Cuppa,” showing her online following could actually converse quite well-though chaotically-all in unison. Several other members ardently … This discussion of her food creations often leads to broader lifestyle conversations, including her recent supermodel snack declaration. Her public appearances, such as her experience at Paris Fashion Week, and even an airport clash over phone volume, continue to generate significant engagement among her followers.
