Elevate Your Coffee Part 2: Iced Coffee Tips

Another post about coffee? Yes, please!

What can I say, I love a delicious beverage.

In my other post about elevating coffee, I mostly spoke about keeping your drink warm. I still stand by those benefits! But sometimes, the craving for an iced coffee takes over or it's simply too hot out to enjoy anything without ice.

Here's what I've been doing to maximize the benefits my iced coffee can have:

Protein Coffee

One of the easiest ways to incorporate extra protein in my day is using a protein shake as my base instead of milk. I've been loving Premier Protein's cinnamon bun flavor with 1-2 shots of espresso, I use about half of the carton for each coffee. And there are plenty of other protein shakes out there that people claim are delish for coffee!

Sugar-Free Syrups

Minimizing sugar especially first thing in the morning means less glucose spikes and less jitters. Sugar-free syrups are the perfect complement to protein coffee since the shakes have a natural sweetness!

Collagen Powder

This stuff is incredible! The best part is you can't even taste the powder when you add it to any drink. Collagen has a host of benefits including extra protein, improved skin, bone health. joint health, gut health and more. As we age, we lost collagen so it's super important to replenish. Be sure to check the ingredients on your powder to make sure there isn't an unnecessary amount of sodium.

Coconut Oil

I spoke about how create this hack is for your metabolism in my other post! I always make sure to add the liquid oil and mix it up BEFORE adding the ice. Otherwise the oil will separate.

There you have it, my friends! Some more coffee tips.

As long as you consume your coffee in moderation, you're good to go. And remember to have food in your tummy before you start sipping so you can support your hormones, minimize cortisol spikes, and lessen jitters.

Bonus points for you if you use one of my mantra cups from my Etsy Shop!!
