What you drink first thing in the morning can have a dramatic effect on your weight, energy levels, and overall health. The go-to drink for most people is a coffee but there are better ways to improve your morning coffee routine. Here are three amazing weight loss and energy boost drinks.
Add 1 Teaspoon of Mixture to Your Coffee
If you love your morning coffee, you are in luck. For weight loss, all you need to add is simply cinnamon, coconut oil, and honey. You can also add some cocoa if you’d like. Here’s why it works:
Cinnamon reduces blood sugar levels in the body to keep you feeling full longer, aiding in the weight loss process. While coconut oil is a natural thermogenic, so it increases both metabolism and energy expenditure, resulting in more efficient fat burning. And honey can increase levels of good cholesterol in the body, reducing stress on the heart and allowing people to lead a more active and healthy life to further promote weight loss.
So how to make this mixture? Follow the following step:
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 3/4 cup of coconut oil
- 1/2 cup of raw honey
Directions
- Mix all ingredients together until you get a smooth mixture.
- Store it in a cup and cover it.
To Use
- When you pour yourself a fresh cup of coffee in the morning, add 1-2 teaspoons of the prepared mix to your coffee while it’s still hot.
- Stir and drink!
