Hot Herbal Drink Recipes (No Coffee Needed)
Coffee isn't inherently bad for you, in fact, it has some great attributes, but our culture consumes it in an unhealthy amount. We encourage all of our clients to avoid coffee because most people load it up with sugar and processed dairy products. Additionally, if you are a regular coffee drinker, your body has most likely become reliant on it. This can cause adrenal issues along with a host of other hormonal imbalances. This is a dangerous situation.
If you are trying to wean off coffee, here are two herbal drink recipes that not only have a warm and bold flavor similar to coffee, but also include many health benefits that can help with energy and focus without the crash.
