Delicious Coffee Alternatives & Their Recipes!
Nothing gets us through the long work days like a deliciously warm cup of coffee. But no matter how much we like it, coffee comes with some disadvantages. While it’s the second-most consumed beverage around the world, some people just can’t drink it, don’t like it, or are looking for an alternative that comes without the afternoon jittering!
So, we’ve decided to compile three easy alternatives that will help support your energy levels and offer you even more benefits than coffee!
Matcha Tea
Matcha Tea is a type of green tea that is made with the leaves of the Camellia Sinensis. It’s loaded with antioxidants and lowers the risk of type 2 diabetes! Here’s all you need to do to make 1 cup of matcha tea.
Directions:
• Sift 1-2 tsps of matcha powder into a bowl
• Add hot water (71-77 ℃)
• Stir well
Note: You can also toss in a cup of steamed milk (or other alternatives) to make a creamy matcha tea latte.
Golden Milk
This milk-based drink comes loaded with powerful anti-inflammatory spices and antioxidants!
Ingredients:
• 1 cup of milk (or non-dairy alternative)
• ½ tsp of ground turmeric
• ¼ tsp of cinnamon
• ⅛ tsp of ground ginger
• 1 pinch of black pepper
• Honey to taste
Directions:
• Mix all the ingredients in a saucepan
• Warm up on low to medium heat and stir frequently to avoid burning the mix
• Once warm, serve and enjoy!

Ingredients:
• 1 part dried roasted dandelion
• 1 part dried roasted chicory
• ½ part dried burdock root

Have you ever just lied in bed, thinking you were ready to fall asleep on the spot, but end up wide awake staring at the ceiling? Or went to bed at 10 p.m. but didn’t manage to actually fall asleep until 3 a.m.? Us (and 30-45% of the adult population worldwide) too!
The worst part is that you don’t voluntarily do that; it just happens. It’s like your own brain doesn’t want you to fall asleep. And out of frustration, you start searching everywhere for a solution that will help you get a good night’s sleep. It works out sometimes, but other times, its effects only last for about a week. But, do not despair, we may have found the perfect solution: Ayurveda.
We’ve all gotten a cut somewhere on our body before, and we’ve all noticed the red swelling that occurs around that cut area, which naturally fades away after it’s healed.
If you’ve ever noticed that, then congrats! You’re the witness of a marvelous immune response called inflammation; our bodies’ natural fight response to any foreign agent trying to harm them!
We’ve all tried to stick to a healthy diet. We hit the supermarket and run up and down the aisles looking for the healthiest ingredients. But that moment only lasts until we’re confronted with the expensiveness of it all.
