We enjoy a cup of coffee that is fancy and flavorful once in awhile, but it is best practice for our health to have a tamer coffee on a regular basis. When it is not a frothy mocha or caramel latte day try to have a healthier addition to your coffee. Some healthier additions to your coffee to try include coconut milk, cinnamon, rice milk, cardamom and soy milk. These each offer different health benefits and different flavors to your coffee without all the unnecessary ingredients that come in flavored creamers. Both soy and rice milk have naturally sweet flavors without lactose or cholesterol and are vegan friendly. Read how coconut milk and cardamon can be healthy additions in your cup of coffee below.
Just like rice milk and soy milk, coconut milk can be an interesting twist and a nice addition to your coffee blends. It is a distinct flavor, so it not may be for everyone, but to mix it up a bit you can give it a try. The smell of coconut milk can be awesome if you’re in need of a beachy holiday. Besides that, coconut milk has some nice health benefits!
- coconut milk is a good hydrator
- it is packed with vitamins like vitamin C, E, B1, B3, B5.
A spice called cardamom is used in the Middle Eastern kitchens a lot and it’s closely related to ginger. Not many people know that you can also put it in a cup of coffee. Before you grind the coffee beans, add some cardamom or just spread it into your cup of coffee.
Cardamom has been used in medicine in South Asia for thousands of years. It can help a soar throat, digestive problems and stomach-aches. Furthermore, it neutralises some of the stimulating effects that the caffeine in coffee has. Nepal and Guatamala are the biggest producers of cardamom in the world.
