One cup of coffee every day can help you wake up and stay alert, but adding milk, sugar and additives can substantially up the calorie count. To reap all of the benefits without additional calories from drinking coffee in various ways may surprise you – try these methods instead and you may just find out which method is most healthy!

Addition of creamer or whipped cream can greatly enhance the flavor of coffee, but many commercial products contain lots of added sugar and saturated fats. A non-dairy milk alternative with low calories like almond or coconut milk would be best, providing additional protein and healthy fats in your diet while adding flavor without increasing calories intake. Frothing your choice using either an electric milk frother is an easy way to add flavor without increasing calories intake.

If you’re trying to cut back on sugar, stevia or monk fruit powders can provide low-calorie sweeteners that won’t give you headaches or stomachaches. Honey is another popular option that contains antioxidants. Or add flavor before you brew with cinnamon, nutmeg or food-grade lavender mixed into the coffee grounds – adding an irresistibly tasty blend with plenty of health benefits!

The absolute healthiest way to enjoy coffee is black. If you must sweeten it, opt for natural solutions over artificially sweetened alternatives such as stevia or erythritol to minimize calories consumed and potential long-term damage caused by excessive sugar intake.

Beverages brewed at an ideal temperature can boost polyphenols – antioxidants which promote heart health, reduce inflammation, and help you achieve weight loss – in your coffee drink. The optimal water temperature range should be between 195 to 205 degrees Fahrenheit for extracting caffeine and other compounds efficiently.

If you want to prepare a large batch in advance, store your healthy coffee in the refrigerator for up to five days in order to chill while keeping its taste and creaminess.

This delicious morning treat is quick, easy and much healthier than any sugar-filled beverage you could find at school or work. Packed full of protein, fiber and healthy fats – including anti-inflammatory ingredients to boost immunity – you’ll feel full and energized after having sipped on this delectable treat!
