Dietitian Notes
You can enjoy seasonal flavors without inducing a “coffee” sugar crash (let’s be honest, it’s mostly flavored creamer!) Maple syrup provides trace minerals and a gentler sweetness compared to refined sugars, while ginger is known for its anti-inflammatory and digestive benefits. Using full-fat milk or any milk of your choice may be plant-based which adds creaminess and healthy fats, turning this cold brew into a more satiating beverage (just use it in moderation). A dose of Daily Elements enhances the drink with concentrated phytonutrients turning coffee into a health-boosting and nourishing drink.
