Why hazelnut butter is a great coffee booster
Hazelnut butter adds creaminess, healthy fats, and a natural nutty sweetness to your morning cup. Hazelnut butter coffee is rich in vitamin E and heart-healthy fats, helping to support brain function and energy. Choose unsweetened versions to keep sugar low and flavors pure. It blends well with hot coffee, resulting in a smooth texture. You can find hazelnut butter in most grocery stores near the nut butters or online through health food retailers. Hazelnut is a delicious flavor any season of the year!
Raw honey vs regular honey: what’s the deal?
Raw honey keeps all its natural enzymes, antioxidants, and antibacterial properties—unlike processed honey, which loses nutrients when heated. Additionally, raw honey adds a gentle sweetness with trace minerals and helps balance blood sugar better than refined sugars. Local raw honey may also help alleviate seasonal allergies and support the immune system.
Why almond milk is a smart choice
Unsweetened almond milk is a popular plant-based alternative to dairy, offering several nutritional benefits with minimal calories. Naturally lactose-free, it’s ideal for those with lactose intolerance or following a dairy-free diet. It’s rich in vitamin E, an antioxidant that supports skin and immune health, and is often fortified with essential nutrients like calcium and vitamin D to support bone strength. Its light, creamy texture blends smoothly with coffee and nut butters, making it a versatile choice for both hot and cold beverages.
