What is Something Healthy to Put in Coffee?
Your morning coffee can become more delicious and healthy with just a few small adjustments. While adding flavors such as syrups, cream, and sugar are popular choices, there are other nutritious ingredients like protein powder or spinach which can add depth of flavor and texture.
Simply adding natural, low-calorie sweeteners can quickly add extra flavor. You could also upgrade your creamer by eliminating processed fake flavors, gums and stabilizers found in many commercial varieties; or make homemade versions using ingredients like cinnamon or vanilla extract instead.
Milk adds a creamy texture to coffee while also providing protein and calcium in small doses, but should be consumed sparingly if trying to limit your saturated fat consumption. Alternatively, alternative milks like soy and almond may offer creamy goodness without extra calories; they’re often fortified with calcium and vitamin D to offset what would normally come from dairy milk products.
Cinnamon can give your coffee an aromatic, warming flavour while aiding digestion and helping regulate blood sugar levels. It can also reduce inflammation and promote heart health by decreasing how much glucose cells absorb from glucose sources like sugar. When choosing cinnamon for coffee use only Ceylon cinnamon (also called true cinnamon). Cassia cinnamon contains more coumarin, an potentially toxic chemical, that should only be consumed in moderation.
If you have an allergy to nuts or simply prefer not adding milk to your latte, try switching it up by making one with oat milk instead of cow’s milk. This blogger provides some amazing recipes for making an oat milk mocha latte instead. This option may also be healthier since unsweetened versions exist!
Add turmeric and ginger superfoods to your coffee to enhance its nutritional content and increase its nutritional value. Turmeric is an anti-inflammatory spice known for preventing health conditions ranging from diabetes to cancer; rich in curcuminoids which act as antioxidants against chronic diseases by slowing oxidation processes; while ginger can reduce pain, nausea, as well as aid digestion.
Enhance the nutrition of your coffee by including more whole foods, such as fruits and vegetables. Blueberries and strawberries are abundant with vitamin C, helping protect against various health problems including cardiovascular disease and stroke. Plus they contain fiber for weight loss. Add in spinach which boasts vitamins A & C to further boost heart health by lowering cholesterol levels – ideal if consumed along with meals so your body can easily digest this green drink!
