Millions of people worldwide start their day right with a cup of coffee, which provides a boost of energy that helps stave off afternoon doldrums.
How can you enhance your morning brew? There are a number of genius hacks you can try.
Spice it up
Your morning brew can be as unique and exciting as you make it, from adding creamers or add-ins, modifying brewing methods or trying different creamers – as long as it makes you look forward to having that cup every morning! The key is to find something interesting so that it keeps you interested and excited for another cup!
One effective way of adding spice is through its warming, deliciously-flavored effects as well as its accompanying health benefits – cinnamon has long been touted for its antioxidant and digestion-supportive qualities, nutmeg has an exquisite balance between sweet taste and smell, and ginger is known for having anti-inflammatory and immune boosting benefits.
Experts advise infusing cinnamon or nutmeg directly into the coffee grounds prior to brewing for maximum flavor and reduced chance of chunks falling into your mouth when sipping your morning beverage. This ensures a uniform, balanced experience while eliminating chunks that might otherwise make their way into your coffee cup.
Homemade syrups can quickly and easily add extra flavour to your coffee, and can even help cut down on empty calories from sugary premade coffee additives found at cafes. To create one yourself, mix equal parts water and sugar over low heat until all of it dissolves – this can take as little as five minutes!
Add some Collagen Peptides Powder
Collagen is a protein-rich compound found in animal connective tissues and widely considered an anti-ageing superfood, touted for its anti-aging benefits and ability to enhance joint and skin health. Celebrities like actress Jennifer Aniston and biohacking entrepreneur Dave Asprey have promoted it, while some take their collagen intake one step further by mixing it with their morning coffee!
Collagen may seem strange at first, but its inclusion into your daily routine is essential to getting maximum benefit from this superfood. Collagen capsules or powder is easy to incorporate into hot liquids such as coffee.
Hunter & Gather’s Collagen Peptides Powder can easily dissolve in hot beverages without altering their flavor or consistency, making it perfect for adding an extra protein boost into soups, broths, dressings or sauces.
Make a collagen bulletproof coffee! Simply brew your favorite cup of coffee, then combine 1 scoop of collagen and 1 teaspon of grass-fed butter or MCT oil with it – for an energizing beverage to power you through your day! It’s an easy and quick way to turn regular coffee into an energy-boosting nutrient drink that will keep you going strong all day long.
Cold-brew coffee can also add collagen to your morning cup by taking advantage of its time-tested tradition and reduced acidity levels compared to its hot counterpart, making it the better option for stomach health and overall well-being. Cold-brew coffee involves steeping coarsely ground coffee grounds in water for several hours before leaving it to cool overnight, yielding low-acidity, flavorful, and smooth coffee that you can enjoy any time of year. Cold-Brew + Collagen Coffee is an exquisitely smooth and indulgent coffee made with organic Brazilian Santos beans, generous amounts of hydrolysed collagen peptides for radiant skin, organic adaptogenic ashwagandha for stress resilience, as well as baobab and chicory roots for digestion support and to help bolster the gut microbiome.
Add some fiber
Coffee‘s nutritional benefits extend far beyond its energy-boosting properties; it also contains plenty of dietary fiber, providing an effective way to meet daily fiber requirements for better digestive health and prevent constipation.
Attract more fiber into your morning cup by mixing ground flax seeds into the coffee grounds before you brew. Soluble fiber provided by flax seeds helps slow down how fast glucose enters your system, keeping blood sugar stable and improving metabolic function.
Coconut oil is an easy yet effective addition to any morning cup of joe. Packed with both saturated and unsaturated fats, coconut oil is linked with various health benefits including weight loss, increased brainpower, better energy levels and immune system functioning improvements. Keto dieters often rely on it as an aid for increased fat-burning capabilities by stimulating their metabolism and supporting weight-burning efforts.
For those seeking something extra, there is also a coffee blend containing functional mushrooms like Lion’s Mane, Reishi and L-Tryptophan that have long been used in traditional East Asian medicine to improve cognitive function, reduce fatigue and strengthen immunity.
Use high-quality ingredients to boost the nutritional value of your coffee, beginning with quality beans and using a Keurig brewer to produce an aromatic cup of delicious coffee every day. Plus, customize it even further with healthy add-ins and superfood mix-ins to maximize nutritional benefit in every sip!
Try different flavors
There are various flavors to add to coffee. Classic options, like vanilla, are always welcome but exploring more unique ones can make your daily cup even more enjoyable! Experimenting with different varieties is sure to keep things interesting!
Pumpkin spice, an amalgamation of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves and allspice, has quickly become one of the most beloved flavors ever since its inception. Although its popularity peaks during autumnal months alone, pumpkin spice can also be enjoyed throughout the year!
Enhancing the flavor of your coffee with pure food-grade oils is another effective way to create some intense depth in its taste. These are perfect as they contain no added sugars or calories and only need a few drops to achieve the desired effects; some examples include peppermint oil around Christmas time and clove oil during pumpkin spice season in autumn.
Add some pizzazz to your coffee by trying flavored syrups! There is an array of choices available such as caramel and hazelnut. Remember to start small, as too much flavor can become overpowering if used too frequently.
