3 Healthy Coffee Recipes

Throughout the years, coffee has been depicted as an unhealthy drink and many have been advised to steer clear. The truth is though, coffee has health benefits! There is such a thing as healthy coffee! Not only is it high in antioxidants, it can help stimulate your system to power through your day and as moms, we know both of these are important!

Determined to make healthy coffee, I tried (and failed) many different recipes until I perfected the following three. Now I no longer crave fatty lattes and instead turn to one of these sweet, creamy, healthy coffee recipes and know I am still on track with my health goals!
