Healthy Iced Coffee Recipes
Are you trying to reduce sugary syrups and extra calories found in coffee shop drinks? Try one of these healthy iced coffee recipes instead! Creating it at home allows for greater control over its ingredients; by swapping out for healthier versions with just a few tweaks and substitutions, your homemade version can become healthy yet still taste amazing compared to those expensive coffee shop beverages!
Cold brew coffee differs from regular iced coffee in that it’s made using concentrated brewed coffee steeped for 12-24 hours in chilled water to produce a smoother, less acidic flavour and lower caffeine levels. Cold brew can also be made on rocks or blended, and makes a delicious homemade version of iced coffee for those with sensitive stomachs or those who simply don’t prefer its bitter coffee taste.
Add extra flavor to your iced coffee with cinnamon, vanilla extract or ginger! Additionally, switching up your sweetener could include maple syrup, agave nectar or liquid stevia for low carb options – or make it dessert-like by topping with chocolate drizzle or swirl of whipped coconut cream!
Make this healthy iced coffee even healthier by replacing milk with single cream or whipping cream for a thick and creamy beverage. While non-dairy options such as soy may work, for best results use full fat milk as it has more of a satisfying and smooth flavor than low-fat varieties. And for an extra caffeine kick add instant coffee for an energy boost!
This refreshing morning beverage combines the bold flavour of cold brew with spices and coconut milk for an easy morning beverage that won’t cost an arm and a leg to make. Ideal for those who don’t have time to make coffee themselves but still want an energetic start to their day with caffeine-infused drinks!
Just a few ingredients and 20 minutes are required to create this nutritious iced coffee recipe – perfect for breakfast on-the-go or quick energy boost in the office!
Create a flavorful tropical iced coffee easily by combining cold brew with coconut milk, stevia and other nutritious ingredients such as chia seeds. Or switch out the stevia for another low-carb sweetener such as maple syrup for paleo compatibility.
