Did you know that coffee, when consumed in moderation is actually healthy? If you can’t picture life without your morning java here is some great news for you! Your regular healthy coffee can be even healthier if you add the right ingredients to your morning drink. They call it super coffee, and I have gathered 20 amazing and healthy ways to give your coffee a superfood boost!
If you don’t overindulge, drinking coffee can be beneficial in preventing type 2 diabetes, liver disease, heart disease, and Parkinson’s disease (source). Historical studies that found health risks associated with drinking coffee have been since been refuted, and for most people, there’s little risk in enjoying your morning brew.
Even better, the addition of simple ingredients such as coconut oil, butter, spices, and even fruit can turn a boring cup of joe to a delicious, nutrient-packed super coffee that will give you an instant energy boost. There are plenty of ways to make super coffee, and I’ve selected some of the best recipes you could possibly try.
