There are so many joys that coffee bring to people each and everyday! More than 50% of Americans consume this coffee everyday and of those people 50% drink at least 3 cups a day. With coffee shops lurking every where you turn, how can we enjoy and still stay healthy
Here are the some tips and tricks to make your coffee phenomenal and still be healthy all at the same time.
# 1 Spice it Up –
Adding to cinnamon to your coffee is the perfect treat for all sugar lovers!
Cinnamon is a great substitute for sugar because it is naturally void of calories, and it has a slew of wonderful health benefits.
Besides being tasty, cinnamon can improve your bad cholesterol levels, regulate blood sugar levels, kill sugar cravings, protect your teeth and gums from bacteria, and improve circulation.
# 2 Add coconut milk
These are great tools for those of you who love some extra taste for their caffeine fix. You may have never checked, but your creamer and the flavored creamer bottles that you keep in your fridge can be LOADED with calories, sugar, artificial ingredients, and high fructose corn syrup. All additives that spell “disaster” for your hormones, digestion, and overall health.
Try adding 1-2 tablespoons of unsweetened coconut milk or almond milk to give your coffee smoother flavor and texture. My personal favorite is a brand is This one …
# 3 Ice It!
Some of you just don’t like drinking hot beverages, and want something a little more refreshing. Give iced coffee a try. Turn your coffee pot off so it can cool down. Then pour over ice, throw in some of your new, added flavors and you will have the perfect treat. You can also put extra coffee in the fridge and use it for ice coffee in a pinch.
4. Add Some Cocoa to Your Coffee
Cocoa is loaded with antioxidants and associated with all sorts of health benefits, including a reduced risk of heart disease and it is delicious. Pair this with some full fat canned coconut milk and you will have a mocha lover’s dream!
Enjoy your coffee even more now and don’t feel bad about it!
