SOME HEALTHY ALTERNATIVES TO COFFEE

Replace that cup of coffee with something more ‘healthy’. And when we say healthy, in this instance it’s the absence of caffeine that makes most of the other alternatives a great choice.

Here, is a list of few options for you when it comes to replacing coffee:

  1. Yerba Mate:

Yerba mate isn’t just an amusing name to say; this herbal tea is also a brilliant alternative to coffee. The tea is made by drying the leaves of the South American holly tree and can be found all across the continent. The Smokey flavor might seem a little strange at first, but once you get used to it, this coffee alternative is genuinely unique. On the health side, yerba mate is loaded with vitamins C and E and contains more antioxidants than a cup of green tea.

  • Hot Maca:

The herb Maca originates from Peru and is used in many forms for its health-giving properties. One way to enjoy it is as a delicious hot drink – mix the powder in with almond milk and some spices, and the natural sweetness will create a creamy and delicious coffee alternative. The qualities of maca contain compounds that can assist in the regulation of hormones in the adrenal gland. This can help balance stress and provide natural energy, making this treat a wonderful addition to your morning routine.

  • Chicory Coffee:

If you love the taste of coffee, but don’t get the same level of satisfaction from a cup of decaf, then it could be time to explore chicory root. This coffee alternative was used by the French during the civil war when the availability of coffee was insufficient. The French soldiers would brew their drink with chicory to imitate the flavor of coffee and found that they enjoyed the taste. The chicory root is similar to a coffee bean because it can be roasted and ground up and brewed as a hot drink. It has a fresh and bitter aroma with a considerable amount of body, but no caffeine.

  • Matcha Green Tea:

Matcha in concentrated powder form, better quality than regular green tea with improved health benefits as well. This earthy and fresh-tasting tea has a much higher level of antioxidants, which is fantastic for combating free-radicals and may help in the prevention of heart disease. A particular type of antioxidant, epigallocatechin gallate, has also shown promising signs of reducing high blood pressure. If you are on the hunt for healthy alternatives to coffee, matcha tea is a truly healthy replacement.

  • Kombucha Tea:

Kombucha is one of the hottest trends in health foods right now because the fermentation of black tea unlocks the benefits. The process of fermentation that creates kombucha uses a SCOBY – symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast, and this post-fermentation mix gives the drink a distinct taste as well as probiotic and antioxidant qualities. The acetic acid in kombucha makes it slightly tart, and many are flavored with fruits and spices. The presence of kombucha in cafes and health shops is relatively commonplace today, so why not use this refreshing summer drink as a replacement for your cup of coffee?
