I like my coffee in the morning. I’m a different person when I don’t have that morning cup, or 3. Many like to add to their coffee to make it more palatable, however that usually equates to added calories and fat.
In an article by Leah Groth of Everyday Health, there are a number of additions to coffee that actually make it healthier! Among those are:
- Spices – An alternative to pre-flavored coffee, added spices like cinnamon and chicory root can infuse a distinctive taste and appealing aroma to your cup of joe while providing a bonus health benefit
- Protein Powder- Proffee, a concoction of protein powder and coffee, went viral on TikTok, with millions of people watching videos touting the combination as a protein-packed pick-me-up with weight loss benefits
- Cocoa Powder – While boosting dessert-like deliciousness in coffee, cocoa powder punches up its health-related qualities, especially due to antioxidants called polyphenols
- Grass-fed Butter – Grass-fed butter is high in CLA (conjugated linolenic acid), which some research indicates may help with weight loss
- Lemon – Lemon water and lemon-infused tea have been go-to wellness cocktails for decades, but a recent viral TikTok trend suggests adding the citrus juice to coffee
- Collagen Powder – Collagen is a fibrous protein found in body tissues, like bone, skin, muscles, and tendons…Collagen supplements come in many different forms, with powder being the easiest to add to drinks like coffee
