Coffee Substitutes That Are Better For Your Health
"I can't function in the morning until I’ve had my coffee". It's very probable that you have heard that sentence many times, and in fact, maybe you are one of these people who thinks it is impossible to live without coffee. It's one of the most consumed products in the whole world and part of it's success it's due to caffeine. Caffeine boosts adrenaline production in our body and gives us energy, which in turn, gives us a pleasurable sensation, and more concentration capacity. That is why caffeine is addictive. It's a shot of energy, but that sensation doesn't last for long. It's effects have a short deadline and that makes us think about the next cup of coffee when we have only just finished the first. Besides, the excessive consumption of caffeine can give us many health problems in time, such as osteoporosis. It can mess with our nervous system, induce ulcers and speed up our heart rate.
This dilemma it's the key to find the perfect coffee substitute. When you wake up in the morning and feel like you need a push of vitality to start the day, wich kind of energy you think your body needs? A boost of short term energy or an injection of vitality that will keep you active and alert through the all day? If what you are looking for it's the second option, what you have to do it's to bet in energetic produts like Maca and not only exciting/stimulating produtcs (wich is the case of coffee).
Matcha - This green tea, cultivated in Japan is used by Zen Buddhist monks for meditation. It's properties provide an alert state of mind and, but at the same time, calmness and tranquility. Iswari's Matcha is nutricious, energizing and focusing. It can be consumed as a cold drink, hot or even in recipes like energy bars, deserts or healthy snacks like these Matcha Bliss Balls or these Raw Matcha and Cocoa Pies.
Maca - Maca is an excellent superfood to boost your energy levels, promote mental health and hormonal balance. You can add one tablespoon to your smoothie, yogurt or juice every day and start the day with happiness and energy.
Macaccino - If you'r used to drink your coffee with sugar may be hard to adjust to a more bitter tasting brew. We created our Macaccino range with that in mind. This mix of Maca, Cacao/Carob and Lucuma it's delicious, healthy and full of energy. You can drink our Macaccino range hot, cold and even use the powder to make truffles or other recipes that will be the joy of any sweet tooth (without compromising your health).
Guaraná - One of the main advantages of Guaraná in comparation with coffee is that, even if it's stimulating, Guaraná's energy lasts for a much longer with a much less jittery type of stimulation. If you take half a tea spoon of Iswari's Guaraná every day, it will be absorbed slowly by your body and that will translate in a energy release throught several hours of the day.
