Everything you need to know about Coffee Alternatives

Picture this: you’re on the morning grind, but instead of reaching for your usual cuppa, you’re exploring new horizons. Does it sound bizarre breaking a routine that you enjoy? It did for us, but once we tried something other than coffee  without losing the energy hit, we were hooked. Welcome to the world of coffee alternatives; where you can get your fix without the afternoon comedown. We know we've piqued your interest, so here’s the lowdown for the curious people out there.

 

 

Why Consider Coffee Alternatives?

While coffee’s great for a quick buzz, it can sometimes leave you feeling anxious or give you the dreaded afternoon crash. Coffee alternatives, on the other hand, offer sustained energy and health benefits without the downsides. They’re the perfect choice for those looking to shake up their routine. Whether you're tired of the 3pm headaches, or you need to cut down on coffee spend, trying a coffee alternative is one of the best ways to achieve these milestones. 

 

 

Top Coffee Alternatives

There are a few different forms of coffee alternatives, ranging from matcha to tea, but we think the ultimate coffee alternative is a mixture of adaptogenic mushrooms, cacao and spices. Here is a quick guide to these top-tier ingredients:

• Ceremonial-Grade Cacao: This is like a warm hug in a mug. Rich in flavour and packed with mood-boosting properties, it’s a stellar way to start your day. Ceremonial-grade cacao is a type of cacao that is traditionally prepared and used in ceremonies by indigenous cultures in Central and South America. It is minimally processed, organic, and often sourced from heirloom cacao varieties.
• Functional Mushroom Blends: Functional mushroom blends are mixtures of various medicinal mushrooms, each chosen for their unique health benefits. These blends often include mushrooms like lion's mane, reishi, chaga, cordyceps, and shiitake. They are known for their potential to enhance cognitive function, support the immune system, reduce inflammation, and increase energy levels.
• Ayurvedic Spices: Ayurvedic spices are a key component of Ayurveda, the traditional medicine system of India. These spices are known for their health benefits and are often used to promote balance and wellness in the body.

 

The Benefits

Unlike coffee, which can give you a quick buzz followed by a crash, alternatives like ceremonial cacao and mushroom blends release energy gradually, keeping you steady and on your game all day. Imagine feeling consistently energised without the mid-morning slump. Ingredients like lion’s mane mushroom are your secret weapon for mental clarity, ensuring you stay sharp and focused. Plus, many of these alternatives are packed with prebiotic fibers that support a healthy gut, so you’ll feel great from the inside out. It’s a win-win for your body and mind!
