5 delicious coffee alternatives to try today

Coffee culture has blown up, with no sign of slowing down. There are social accounts out there solely dedicated to the subject. I have definitely been on board; however, I tend to have a lot of anxiety and heartburn, so I have finally realized that I need to bite the bullet and ditch, or at least limit my coffee consumption. Also, coffee won't cause anxiety, but it is known to worsen symptoms, so it should be a no-brainer. This delicious drink is also known to be a mild endocrine disruptor, which means that coffee competes with enzyme resources in that liver that are needed to process estrogen during detoxification. One might argue that the health benefits associated with coffee outweigh the negative side effects, but in case you decide it might be time to switch up the daytime beverage routine, here are five delicious coffee alternatives to try today.

Golden milk:

This is a favorite of mine. It's tumeric-based with some fragrant extras, such as cinnamon and ginger. You can find the recipe on my instagram

Matcha tea:

This dreamy green tea does have caffeine, but only about half as much as a cup of brewed coffee. It's packed with antioxidants and provides a little kick without the jitters. You can stick with tea or make it into a latte. Either way, it's a delicious option. Check out this recipe if you want to give it a whirl.

Honey lavender earl grey latte:

Once again, this option does have caffeine, but less than a cup of brewed coffee. From the floral notes from the earl grey tea and the lavender, plus the sweetness of the honey, it's a wonderfully fragrant choice for an afternoon pick-me-up. Check out this recipe.

Ashwagandha hot chocolate:

This Ashwagandha hot chocolate is the ultimate way to relax. Not only do you get a little boost of chocolate, but you also get the calming benefits of ashwagandha, which is an adaptogenic plant that has a calming effect on the mind and can help support mental wellbeing. Check out this recipe.

Apple cider vinegar elixir

Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is a nutrient-rich choice that has a number of health benefits, like heartburn relief and digestive support, to name a few. Apple cider vinegar has detoxification properties that aid with metabolism and clearer skin. Try a warm apple cider drink anytime of day. Check out this recipe.
