Reading Time: 3 minutesI have been a huge coffee drinker for decades, but in the last three years I have found myself rushing to bed in anticipation of my morning coffee. You might wonder what has changed?
Adding healthy fats and spices to my coffee changed the game for me big time.
There are a few reasons I love my new way of drinking coffee:
- I can make it in a variety of ways to keep my morning fun and my taste buds tantalized.
- It fuels my body, especially my brain, with the good fats my mitochondria love.
- Those healthy added fats also help me fast for twelve to sixteen hours every day.
I do overnight fasting to give my body the rest time it needs for all it does for me during the day. My last meal ends somewhere between 5 to 8pm and I do not eat again until twelve to sixteen hours later. The best part of this story is that drinking my coffee, even with the added fat, does not “break” my fast. In contrast, having coffee with fat helps me to remain full so that my first meal of the day usually happens around 11am to 1pm.
Whether you want to postpone your first meal of the day, maintain a fast, or just drink deliciously healthy coffee every morning, one these three recipes could be for you. I promise you, these are way better than the expensive drinks at the coffee shops, too. Give one (or all of them) a try and see your morning cup in a whole new way.
