Take a look at a few of these choices of drinks
It would not be wrong to say that Coffee is the go-to morning beverage for several people. On the other hand, there are some others who avoid it as the high amount of caffeine in it can lead to nervousness and agitation apart from digestive distress and headaches.
So if you belong to the second category, here are 7 delicious alternatives to coffee you must certainly try:
Chicory Coffee
Just like coffee beans, chicory root can also be roasted, grounded and then brewed to make a delicious hot beverage, which is caffeine-free and also a rich source of inulin. Having this drink not only leads to better digestion but also supports a healthy gut by stimulating your gallbladder to produce more bile.
Matcha Tea
For those caught unaware, Matcha is a type of green tea. It is made by steaming, drying and grinding the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. You consume the whole leaf in case of Matcha, hence, you can feel a concentrated source of antioxidants once you have it. Green tea has also been associated with lower body weight.
Golden Milk
Golden milk is a mix of milk with spices such as ginger, cinnamon, turmeric and black pepper. Since turmeric has powerful anti-inflammatory properties, it is quite beneficial.
Lemon Water
You can always switch up your morning beverage with lemon water, which is a great way to start your day. Not only is it calorie- and caffeine-free, it gives you a dose of vitamin C as well which empowers your immune system.
Chai Tea
A type of black tea blended with strong herbs and spices, chai has less caffeine (47 mg) than coffee and as per reports, it aids in mental alertness
Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is prepared by fermenting crushed apples using yeast and bacteria.
This process makes a compound called acetic acid, which helps in insulin sensitivity and blood sugar levels. Studies suggest that ACV also provides you with feelings of fullness after meals and leads to weight loss.
Kombucha
It is made by fermenting black tea with bacteria, yeast and sugar. Kombucha contains probiotics, acetic acid and antioxidants. As for the benefits, it can boost your immune system, improve cholesterol levels and also help people with diabetes.
