I still drink coffee. Like Juliano says, its not the coffee that is the issue as much as what you put in it. It’s the cow’s milk and refined sugars.
I only drink Organic and I go black with a packet of stevia. Yum.
I think a good sub for coffee is dandelion root tea. It has that nice roasted flavor and its good for your liver!
thank you guys all for the comments! i really love to start the day off with coffee. its just the smell that i love. i like mine black or maybe just a little bit of raw sugar or some soy milk but that all depends on how i wake up. i like tea but im not crazy about it. i have a bunch of diffrent tazo teas in packets that i’ve been meaning to try but just havent yet. also about the green smoothies, ive bought almost everthing i need to make one but im just scared to see exactly how it’ll taste. i dont know just the thought of sipping spinach and mint leaves is weird. can anyone tell me exactly how it tastes like?? sorry for all the questions!
I love green smoothies. Id say start with spinach its a light flavor, add a banana, and a sweet apple and maybe some raw agave/honey if you want it sweeter. But really I can’t taste the greens at all when I do that. Blueberries are a nice addition too. Now i dont mind the flavor of the greens too much and ive tried kale, red chard, collard greens. But def adding a sweet apple and ripe banana really helps!
smoothielove another thing am i supposed to add ice to green smoothies? what about frozen fruits? btw i like your default pic.
Oh yeah you can use a frozen banana or frozen blueberries. Or any frozen fruit. Ive never added ice but my blender isnt the greatest. But yea i would recommend adding something frozen at first to make it cold. Now I dont mind drinking them warmer but I do think they taste better cold.
And thanks! Its supposed to be animated but i guess it doenst work on here.
have you tried cold pressed coffee. You can still have your coffee and eat it raw too! add Cold pressed coffee to coconut water, cacao, agave, yummy. it’s like a mocha!
Well I work at a health food store that sells it. So maybe check one near you… start there and if not I’m sure you can find it online..
mham.. you can add anything to the mixture. It’s still good with no agave in it. use it how you normally drink your coffee. Or make something like an iced coffee with hemp milk or almond milk and vanilla.
I drink coffee about once or twice a week but lately i havent been drinking it all, i think i’m try and give up cream in it.
Coffee is acidic!! and it’s a stimulant! & not raw!!
I have had 2 cups every morning for the last 8+ years – until last week. I have been cutting it with Teeccino (an herbal coffee) that’s made from carob, chickory, and other stuff. They have tips on how to use it to get off coffee on their website. It’s now raw either, but it tastes AMAZING and it’ll help me get off the caffeine which is just plain not good for the body. I’m raw to be good to my body!
I drink some coffee.. with fresh raw milk ( like 2 days old I get it from a local Amish farmer).... and raw sugar
i love the smell and taste of coffee. i cannot give it up right now…but i have cut down. i drink daily detox tea first thing in the morning then have coffee about 2 hours later at work.then water the rest of the day and maybe a glass of organic wine at night.hey…nobodys perfect.
I used to think that it was okay too, flybaby, until I read this: http://hippocratesinst.org/Volume26Issue4.aspx?...
I realize that no one’s perfect, but I have been pretty tough on my body in the past, so I’m just trying to give it ‘rocket fuel’ from now on instead of ‘lighter fluid’ :-)
