The Twentynine Palms Book Festival returns November 13-15 2025
Brainstorm Chocolate — Food for thought, fuel for the road.
The desert has a way of clearing your head. But if your brain needs a little extra help keeping up with your adventures, we have something for that, too.
Brainstorm is a delicious chocolate bite designed to support energy, focus, and mental clarity, without the usual roller coaster. Each square combines functional mushrooms, including Lion’s Mane and Cordyceps, with guarana for a caffeine boost and phosphatidylserine, an ingredient associated with cognitive function. The idea is simple: a little indulgence that fits into your daily routine, with ingredients intended to support both an immediate lift and longer-term cognitive health. The mushroom benefits are meant to build with consistent use, rather than deliver an instant effect.
Why it fits the desert
Out here, a day can take you from the shop to a dusty trail, a long stretch of open road, or an afternoon lost in a good book. We like having a little something on hand for the moments when we need to refocus. Brainstorm brings the pleasure of chocolate together with a functional twist — ideal for your desk, your road-trip bag, or that mid-afternoon pause when the desert sun makes everything feel just a little slower.

About Alice Mushrooms
Founders Lindsay and Charlotte met in 2020 and bonded over their shared passion for food as medicine.
Lindsay, a former pharmaceutical executive, and Charlotte, a media expert and food scholar, were tired of a supplement world dominated by pills, bitter tinctures, unnatural gummies, and clumpy powders. That’s when Lindsay decided to create a product she would want to use every day and started formulating alice in her kitchen in Venice Beach. The two then teamed up to create the perfect blend of medicinal + culinary delights in each bite of Alice.
Alice's functional mushrooms are sourced from a network of USDA Organic Certified, woman-owned farms, and manufactured into chocolates at a family-run chocolate factory in Colorado.
