At-home coffee supplies

The only coffee I buy

I used to get headaches from coffee, and I avoided it at all costs with coffee alternatives. Turns out, the headaches were coming from the toxins, heavy metals, pesticides, and high acid content in the conventional coffee I was using. I made the switch to shade-grown (low-acid), organic, mold-free coffee, and boom. No more headaches. I’m a full-on coffee lover now.

If you, too, want to make the switch to healthier coffee, my code “soulyrested” will save you $$, EVEN on discounted bulk prices–I always order the 5-pound bags. (It stores well in my pantry in mason jars with the sealed lid linked above or in the vacuum canisters lined above.)

My top picks

This Pumpkin Spice organic coffee is seriously amazing if you’re looking to make the best pumpkin latte (My Latte Recipe: 2 TB maple syrup, 2 shots pumpkin espresso, pinch of salt, pinch of cinnamon, ice, and 2 cups of milk)

The Ethiopian coffee is my go-to every morning. It has a light, naturally sweet taste that means I never even add a sweetener.

The decaf coffee is my go-to in the evening. I quit decaf long ago when I heard how it’s typically processed with chemicals. But THIS decaf is water processed and tastes just like my favorite caffeinated option. (Seriously, I can’t taste a difference.)

The Guatemala coffee has notes of caramel and chocolate and is never bitter. Great for espresso.

The Papua New Guinea coffee is what I reach for if I want similar notes to the Guatemala, but bolder in darker roast form.

 

Homemade syrups for coffee

Try this easy Caramel Sauce recipe to uplevel your coffee in unspeakable ways.

Or this Peppermint Syrup recipe brings holiday joy to your java anytime.

And there isn’t a better choice for an iced latte than adding in some of this homemade Strawberry Syrup, in my opinion.

 

One more thing

If you want to turn your coffee into a daily supplement, I do that deliciously every morning, with hot or iced coffee, I will ad three simple things that make a world of difference:

Colostrum

Because some studies link daily coffee (5 cups or more) to lower bone density in women, I don’t want to battle osteoporosis like my mom did. And the same studies showed that calcium with coffee overrode the problem. This colostrum is high in calcium. And vitamins. And phosphorus, zinc, and magnesium. And antibodies. And supports gut health. Oh, and it’s delicious.

Creatine

For more energy and to kill the brain fog, once and for all, I add a scoop of this to my coffee daily.
 
๐Ÿ’š Creatine helps support your brain by essentially fueling your brain cells.
 
๐Ÿ’š Creatine helps your body and mind perform better, even if you’re not getting enough sleep, or not getting high-quality sleep.
 
๐Ÿ’š Creatine, in long-term studies for women, is improving women’s bone strength and density.
 

Salt

This is the only salt I’ve used for almost a decade. I love that it’s completely unrefined, from the earth the way God intended, with 64 trace minerals. Just like in baking, salt acts as a natural flavor enhancer in coffee. It highlights subtle chocolate or nutty notes. This salt totally uplevels your morning brew.
