Recess Mood Powder, Calming Magnesium L-Threonate Blend with Passion Flower, L-Theanine, Electrolytes, Magnesium Calm Support Powder Supplement

First time using the powder version but I’ve been using the canned drinks for 6 years. Such a great brand and super effective for stress/anxiety relief. The powder is just as effective as the canned drinks. I’m pleasantly surprised to say that this “unflavored” version is truly flavorless because sometimes it’s not quite true with OTHER brands. This is great because you can add it to any drink you’d like. Minor feedback is that I wish it dissolved a little bit better, but it was just fine and not really an issue. I’ll definitely buy again. One of my favorite brands/remedies for stress management. I swear by it.

I had tried individual packets of this from my local store and liked it enough to buy the bulk container.It’s not going to have the same effect as a benzo or anything but boy it comes close! This is my best friend for hungover Sunday scaries. Bad day at work? This is more relaxing than having a drink after. I love to sip a little glass while I’m in the bath. I definitely sleep a bit better on nights I use it.The taste is fine, nothing amazing, but it dissolves easily and has a cute purple color.

I purchased the sample pack, and I wanted to try quite a few before writing a thoughtful review. I noticed the reviews were very mixed, this product is expensive for what it is, and it is non returnable. I hope this helps you make an informed decision.(Do yourself a favor and make a slushy with ice, coconut milk, an orange creamsicle, the lemon citrus powder, and a touch of sweetener. Very yummy and easy!)Flavor/mouthfeel: this is not a drink powder that feels sparkly or tingly in your mouth- it’s flat like water. Be careful not to swallow down the wrong tube though, for it is very scratchy and uncomfortable. It is sweetened with monk-fruit extract, but it is definitely not a sweet beverage at all. If you have a high sugar tolerance like me, you might be a bit dissatisfied. My personal preference is the mixed berry flavor. I usually dislike citrus flavored things, but I do enjoy this powder.Effect: The calming effect is noticeable- when it does kick in. Sometimes nothing happens. Sometimes I feel so relaxed I get the giggles. It seems like drinking multiple drinks in a row does not increase the effect, so don't waste a packet! I get best results when I drink it fast, as in 5-7 minutes. This is not like alcohol where you can (and should) just sip.Price: I was really disappointed that for what I paid, I did not receive the pretty box packaging. The powders came in a plastic bag that could not be resealed. I think that is tacky and dishonest. I should not have to go out and buy a container when there is a disposable one pictured.Overall, I would certainly recommend this as a relaxation beverage. I cannot imagine drinking this at a party as an alcohol replacement as the effect is much too mild. Have one at bedtime or on your patio this summer!

Most Americans are deficient in magnesium and this is a great way to supplement. I love taking these when I’m traveling for work to help me wind down and get quality sleep in a new place. No stomach issues, tastes great!

Not enjoyable flavors. Left a weird ‘texture’ in my mouth. Not a fan.Also did nothing to calm me. I have used other magnesium products so had expectations as to how this might hit…it did nothing at all. Just tasted ‘not great’. It wasn’t foul, just nothing *good*.

I have been using Recess Mood Powder for a few weeks now, and it’s become a really comforting part of my daily routine. The blend of calming ingredients, plus the added vitamins, makes it feel like I’m supporting both my mind and body at the same time.The taste is light and refreshing (not overly sweet or artificial), and it mixes easily into water without any weird aftertaste or gritty texture. Within about 20 minutes of drinking it, I notice a genuine sense of relaxation without feeling drowsy or “out of it” — just calmer and more grounded.I especially love that the formula is non-habit-forming and free of anything heavy or harsh. It feels like a natural and gentle way to unwind in replacement of wine Definitely a new staple for me!

My order arrived on time however the box was crushed when I took it out, mind you it was inside of another box which Im confused how this box got crushed? I’ve drank 4 or 5 now. I honestly don't feel a difference. I got these packets for when I’ve had a long day of work. I work in mental health so my days get kinda of long and draining. The taste is ok. I like the lemon citrus the most, the gradient berry tastes like Medicine. I’m going to finish the box and update this review.

I love this product. I chill without the calories. I couldn’t ask for more!Why did you pick this product vs others?:Per Chat GPT - Recess Mood Powder• L-theanine (200 mg) → boosts alpha brain waves = relaxed but alert (same chill as green tea)• Magnesium L-threonate & Glycinate → crosses blood-brain barrier = calm mind + muscle ease• Passion flower → mild natural sedative; eases anxiety, helps quiet the nervous system• Vitamin B6 → supports serotonin and dopamine production🧠 Effect: Gently lifts mood, smooths over stress, and can give a warm, floaty calm.Some describe it as “a glass-of-wine-without-the-wine” sort of vibe.⸻💧 Ü Relax• Usually lower doses of magnesium (often citrate)• No L-theanine or passion flower• Designed more for calming the body/sleep, not quite as uplifting🧠 Effect: More physical calm or drowsiness—great before bed, but not really that relaxed “chatty buzz” you’re after.⸻Verdict:If you want something to mimic the social ease of a cocktail but stay fully Keto, Recess Mood is your best bet. Especially on ice in a fancy glass, mid-afternoon or early evening.
