Before you caffeine junkies judge me, I love coffee and drink it regularly. I would even go as far to consider myself a coffee "snob". However, do you ever get to a point where you feel like drinking a cup of coffee is no longer giving you life, but it's actually making you MORE tired? That's your adrenals saying "give me a break" & that's where I'm at right now.

Dear coffee, meet your (temporary) replacement...

This is my secret weapon to trick my brain into thinking I'm drinking coffee - Dandy Blend. It contains extracts of roasted barley, rye, chicory root, dandelion root and sugar beet.

It's a bit more robust than plain Dandelion tea & has just enough bitter to give you that "I think I'm drinking coffee" taste. I've considered quitting coffee for awhile & this stuff would almost make me never miss it again. Almost :)

Got milk?

If you really want to trick your brain, try adding some steamed/foamed milk. I love this brand of almond milk - it foams the best out of all the ones I've tried. We use it at the coffee shop/restaurant I work at.

If you don't have a fancy steamer, you can just heat the almond milk (or your milk of choice) on a stove top & use a hand held frother. I also like to sprinkle a little bit of cinnamon on the top to finish it off.

Anyone else have a go-to beverage for swapping out coffee? Let me know! :)

Have an AWESOME day!!
