Healthy Versions of Unhealthy Coffee Drinks - Blogs - Discovery ...

?I love a great cup of coffee.? And chances are, so do you.? Coffee has many health benefits, but these days, having a ?coffee? often means having a couple of shots of espresso along with enough fat, sugar, whipped cream, chocolate or caramel to make a cake.? Calling a Peppermint Mocha a coffee is like calling a banana split a fruit.?

Caramel Macchiato, Vanilla Latte

Use Pure Vanilla Powder (by Madagascar Bourbon) ? using real vanilla will provide an elegant touch and a wonderful change from the sugar overdose.? You can find this product in most organic and gourmet food stores.

Cinnamon Dolce Latte, Gingerbread Latte

Brew your coffee however you like, and then use essential oils of Cinnamon and Ginger to add the real flavoring.? You?ll only need to use one drop as the real thing packs enough punch.? I use essential oils purchased from Your Body Needs.? Most cinnamon sold in stores isn?t real cinnamon.? Real cinnamon helps control blood sugar while real ginger fights inflammation.

Peppermint Latte

Brew your coffee however you like, and then use essential oil of Peppermint along with Cocoa extract to add a shot of the real thing.? As with the cinnamon and ginger, you?ll only need to use one drop as the real thing packs enough punch.? Essential oils purchased from Your Body Needs, and the cocoa I use is Pure Inventions.? Real peppermint aids in digestion.?

?

If you call it coffee, it should be mostly coffee. Add some real cinnamon, ginger, peppermint, cocoa, and vanilla to boost the health benefits and add some authentic flavor to your next coffee.
