Even if you actually appreciate the taste of coffee, there are likely to be occasions when it becomes repetitive and you simply need to change the flavor. As it turns out, there’s a whole world of coffee boosters out there that don’t seem half-bad, and the best part is that they’ll really kick your caffeine game up a notch.
1. Cinnamon
Cinnamon will reshape your morning coffee if you’re used to drinking it with milk and sugar. Cinnamon can help strengthen your immune system and lower blood sugar levels, in addition to lowering calories and incorporating a punchy sweetness into your drink.
2. Butter
Butter in coffee has long been trendy among the paleo community, but it is just recently gaining traction among regular coffee drinkers. The buttery mixture in “Bulletproof Coffee,” as it’s been dubbed, is supposed to help you burn more fat. According to Dave Asprey, the originator of Bulletproof Coffee, drinking coffee with butter provides your body with immediate energy that it will consume and burn. And once your body is in fat-burning mode, it will consume all of the fat you’ve stored. Of course, the quality of butter you use matters, so look for grass-fed, antioxidant-rich butter if you’re going to attempt this one.
3. Ice cream
4. Cardamom
Cardamom, like cinnamon, is a spice that even the most casual coffee drinker will love. It’s a little spicier than cinnamon, but the sweet undertones will make you forget you needed sugar in the first place.
