How to Make Coffee Taste Good Healthy
Assuming you’re trying to live healthier, you don’t have to give up coffee altogether; just get creative with how you add flavor. There are various options on the market including milk and non-dairy creamers (almond or oat milk are two popular ones), sugar, cocoa powder, stevia, salt honey or even ice cream – it’s worth experimenting until you find one that meets both your tastes and body!
If your homemade coffee is bitter, adding a bit of salt will be beneficial in mitigating bitterness and rounding out other flavors – making your cup less harsh and more pleasant to sip!
Lemon zest can also make an excellent way of improving the flavor of your morning cup of joe. The acid in lemon will help reduce bitterness while providing a hint of sweetness – an easy, cost-free solution to making your coffee less bitter!
Your choice of milk can make an enormous difference to the taste and aroma of your coffee. Opting for dairy-free milks such as coconut, oat, or soy may help avoid high amounts of fat and calories found in traditional cow’s milk while still enjoying your favorite flavor of coffee with added health benefits. When mixing these different dairy-free options together with vanilla essence you are bound to create your perfect cup.
Many people add sugar to their coffee, but it may not be the healthiest option. Sugar increases your risk for heart disease and diabetes while being high in saturated fats. Instead of reaching for sugary options like honey or Agave syrup – both natural and locally-sourced options could work great alternatives that won’t change the taste or add any calories!
Add protein to your coffee to help feel fuller and increase energy. Try using a protein powder designed specifically for coffee, or mix your own with whey protein, yogurt and milk – but be careful of any you buy as they could contain additional ingredients that could affect their effectiveness. Add cinnamon or cocoa powder for delicious flavors that also have anti-inflammatory benefits; even better make cold brew and store it in the fridge to enjoy on hot days!
