Sitting down with a steaming cup of coffee is a highlight of the day for many of us. The aroma, the warmth, the taste, the caffeine hit...mmm...
But are you drinking too much coffee? Do you know the effects that caffeine could be having on your body? And did you know that you could be making your morning coffee that little bit more nutritious?
What are the Benefits of Drinking Coffee?
Caffeine can help to make you feel more awake and boost your energy levels. However, it’s important to bear in mind that these can be short-term effects and that caffeine is a stimulant, so you do need to be mindful of your intake.
Coffee beans are also naturally antioxidant, which means they could help to protect your body against the effects of oxidative stress.
Try to stick to just one cup of coffee or iced coffee drink a day, as too much caffeine could lead to a negative impact on your health and wellbeing. And if you want to feel as though your daily coffee is doing you a little extra good, we’ve got a few products at Every Health that can help you to add some extra nutrition.
Try a Protein Coffee Blend
Cold coffees have been a big trend in the last few years, and you can enjoy a caffeine hit with a twist thanks to Garden of Life’s Organic Protein.
Mix one level scoop of the coffee mix with 8oz (approx. 225ml) of cold water. Add a splash of unsweetened almond milk for a refreshing drink, add crushed ice to make a tasty iced coffee, or add to your favourite shake or smoothie recipe.
Enhance Your Coffee with a Collagen Creamer
Coffee creamers are a great alternative to adding milk and sugar to your coffee, and we stock a great range of collagen coffee creamers at Every Health.
Collagen has lots of benefits, including helping to promote natural beauty by supporting beautiful skin and hair. Collagen plays a key role in skin elasticity, but our natural collagen supply begins to decline as we get older, meaning many people turn to supplements to boost their supply.
Garden of Life has a great vanilla-flavoured Grass-Fed Collagen Creamer with 10g of collagen per serving, a blend of microbiome strains and 9g of fat from coconut cream. This is an easy way to make your morning coffee creamier, while delivering extra benefits.
If you want to add a little extra flavour to your coffee alongside added collagen, Vital Proteins has a selection of collagen creamers in Vanilla, Coconut and Mocha. Add extra sweetness to your coffee with a hint of vanilla or coconut, or introduce a hint of chocolate with the mocha-flavoured creamer.
Vital Proteins’ Collagen Creamers feature 10g of bovine collagen per serving, they’re made using coconut milk and they’re also paleo-friendly. One scoop a day is designed to help promote a youthful appearance.
