In a Nutshell My go-to order at the local coffee shop is an iced hazelnut latte with almond milk. I love them, and don't drink them too often, but I definitely worry about how they're filled with sugary syrups and other ingredients that may not be great for me. So, I decided to research just how healthy they really are. Shortly after looking that up, I fell down a coffee nutrition rabbit hole. So, that's what we'll be talking about today.

what's got us buzzing What's the healthiest way to take your coffee? No matter how you take your coffee, research suggests that those little beans offer some pretty impressive health perks. For example, coffee could boost your energy, reduce risk of type 2 diabetes, support brain and heart health, or even increase longevity. Above all else, a cup or 2 can help you take on the world and everyone in it. (That last line is only supported by anecdotal evidence.)️ What you add to your coffee can affect your health in different ways, too: Coffee with milk: Thanks to its polyphenol-amino acid duo, this simple combo offers a boost in antioxidants, immune-supporting properties, and anti-inflammatory perks. Different milk options offer different nutritional values, though. Coffee with butter (aka bulletproof coffee): "Butter coffee" is popular among keto diet enthusiasts for its low carb, high fat factor that can help you feel full. But it's not a good substitute for a more balanced, nutritious breakfast, and folks with higher cholesterol levels may want to reduce excessive fat intake. Coffee with creamer: Creamer comes in a bunch of delicious flavors, but be mindful of high sugar content, artificial flavorings, and added ingredients like carrageenan or cellulose gum. Black coffee may be the healthiest route, as it's low in calories and without any additives. But drinking any form of coffee could expose you to its various health benefits. ️ To make your coffee healthier, consider opting for lower fat milk or avoiding artificial ingredients and flavorings to reduce sugar content. I know I'll be asking for fewer pumps of hazelnut syrup in my lattes from now on.️ caffeine content in coffee types Tell me: How do you take your coffee?

Great finds Freshly ground       Proctor Silex Electric Coffee Grinder I've been using this coffee grinder for 2 years, and it's still slaying beans like a champ! It's fairly quiet, so you probably won't wake anyone up if you're grinding fresh beans for your morning cup. The grinder comes apart into multiple pieces so it's super easy to clean, too.
