FAQ
what is autonomy?
my wife and I were sick of milks and creamers loaded full of sugar and junk food ingredients, that gave us erratic energy and the afternoon crash. So we made something better: a dairy-free milk alternative with organic adaptogens to give you all the creaminess of your favorite latte, plus a clear mind and all-day energy. And for people on the go we created an instant superfood latte and matcha latte. Just squeeze the paste into hot water, froth and enjoy.
what is a smart creamer?
It’s the optimized way to drink your latte. Our dairy free milk replacement contains almonds and cashews for the creamy mouthfeel you love, with reishi, lion’s mane, cordyceps, chaga and L-theanine to elevate your body and mind. We want you to experience a clear mind, all day energy and avoid the afternoon crash while you savor every sip.
does autonomy contain caffeine or stimulants?
no. autonomy is a nutrient-dense milk alternative that you can add to your coffee (or hot drink of choice). By itself autonomy combines energizing healthy fats and adaptogenic mushrooms to keep your brain sharp. When combined with caffeine the L-theanine (an amino acid originally derived from green tea) in our formulation actually helps to smooth out your caffeine ride, neutralizing any jitters and leaving you with consistent energy and focus.
If you want to make your morning routine really simple check out our smart latte and smart matcha latte, which contain caffeine from high grade coffee and matcha respectively. Just squeeze them into hot water, froth and you’re set.
Where do you get your matcha from?
Full disclosure: we were floored when we started talking to (popular) matcha suppliers who said that their matcha contained trace elements of lead (!) and needed a Prop 65 statement). So we searched up and down Japan for the best growers we could find. The resulting matcha is a shade-grown tencha with a smooth, fresh taste that Patrick’s wife Angel says is the best matcha she’s ever tasted. And she’s fussy about her matcha.
Is autonomy low carb/keto?
That depends on how low you want to go. We’ve kept the carbs low enough (and the healthy fats high enough), that our morning cup will replace the sugar highs and lows you can feel with cereals, pastries and snack bars, which puts us firmly in the ‘keto-friendly camp’.
Are you mushrooms from fruiting body or mycelial mass?
We are on Team Fruiting Body. Our 8:1 organic extract delivers an effective dose of lion’s mane, reishi, cordyceps and chaga in every cupful of autonomy.
Are your products Paleo?
Our friend Chad, a paleo superfan, was one of the first guinea pigs for AUTONOMY, so we always kept his morning cup in mind when we created it. Since then it’s been really popular with the paleo and CrossFit community.
Are your products vegan?
Yes. We’re big fans of sentient beings, so you won’t be getting any animal products around here.
Are your products organic?
Some of our ingredients are organic (e.g. our mushrooms), some are not. The most important part of our decision to work with a supplier is that we trust them to provide the highest quality ingredients whilst looking after their employees and the environment.
Is this just for breakfast?
Nope. You can use AUTONOMY anytime you like. A lot of our customers even add it to oatmeal, yogurt, smoothies or just squeeze it straight in their mouth. You’re in charge around here.
Are your products gluten-free?
We’re not against a good old door-stopper of sourdough with a slug of jam, but AUTONOMY is gluten-free. For people with particular sensitivity, it’s worth noting that they may be packed in an environment that handles gluten.
Do you add sugar?
Though some of the whole foods we use contain small amounts of naturally occurring sugars, we’ll never (ever) add sugar to our products.
Are your products Non-GMO?
Yes.
Is AUTONOMY a diet food?
We didn’t intend to create a diet food but that said, if you are replacing processed foods and snack bars with AUTONOMY, you’ll be eating less sugar and more nutrients which (we’ve found for ourselves) keeps us satisfied, energized and consistently tearing through our work and work-out goals.
How many servings are there in one tube?
That depends on how creamy you like it. There are 10 servings in a tube, though we like to use around 1.5 tbsps when we’re feeling particularly devil-may-care, which is around 7 cups.
Do I need to refrigerate it?
Nope. We created AUTONOMY products so that you can use them anywhere, anytime, on-the-fly. That said, each tube contains a significant amount of high-grade medicinal mushrooms, so storing it on your dashboard mid-summer is not ideal for keeping the flavors fresh. We keep ours in the fridge when we’re not traveling and use it within a month (though it’s usually gone within a week).
Can I drink AUTONOMY whilst pregnant or nursing?
Whilst our products are all formulated with your optimal health, energy and focus in mind, we recommend consulting your physician before trying new functional products if you are pregnant or nursing.
