How to replace milk in coffee? Healthy coffee without milk recipe
Your favorite daily thing is a coffee with milk? For some reason, you decided to avoid milk this time and replace it with something else…
If you would rather give up coffee than drink coffee without milk, then take a look at our suggestion that will definitely delight you.
Let’s see! For this healthy coffee without milk you need:
A cup of hot water and a teaspoon of instant (Nes) coffee. If you usually drink black homemade coffee then prepare it without sugar.
What you need to pour into a cup of coffee and water to replace milk is the following:
– A quarter teaspoon of cinnamon
– A teaspoon of coconut oil
– A teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa
Take a coffee blender and mix everything well until all the ingredients are combined.
… If you do not have a coffee mixer, then simply pour all the other ingredients into a cup before coffee and warm water and stir with a teaspoon until all the ingredients are well mixed (the oil does not separate from the water).
Why do you need to put all these ingredients?
Cinnamon gives sweetness so in that way, it is possible to avoid sugar. If you really like sweet coffee, then be sure to add twice less sugar as usual.
Coconut oil gives the full taste of coffee. This is exactly what you are missing in order to finally start drinking coffee without milk.
Cocoa powder gives a chocolate flavor and in combination with coconut oil successfully makes magic to trick your brain. Buy cocoa powder without added sugar, because you can always sweeten it up.
Usual questions
Do not replace the sugar in coffee with honey
Honey is always better option than taking simple sugar into your body, but don’t try adding honey instead of sugar to coffee, or adding coconut powder instead of coconut oil. Probably, you may not like the result and you will be disappointed and throw away the coffee.
A different taste of coffee
Different taste of coffee can be achieved by simple adding of coconut powder, ground hazelnuts and almonds, but try to avoid any kind of whipped cream or „healthy“ versions of milk. If you read the declaration you will realize that it is not something you would like to pour into your body as soon as you get up.
Can this healthy version of coffee satiate you as much as if you added milk?
This coffee gives you enough energy and satiates you as much as you drank your favorite coffee with milk. It is a healthier version than the one you have been drinking so far because these ingredients speed up your metabolism and reduce the desire to consume sugar, and you will definitely not have a feeling of bloating.
It is a great drink for vegans as well as for those who are fasting or on some kind of diet.
We share with you the test results after a month of consuming this kind of coffee.
The first week is reserved for adjusting to the new routine. There is a strange feeling because you do not drink milk but you do not miss it.
At the end of the first week, you will notice that:
– There is no body bloating (“balloon effect”) in the stomach
– Feeling of lightness and better mobility
– Energy levels do not decrease over time
– The need for the next coffee is reduced
– The need for sugar intake is reduced
In the second week of use, the taste of good old coffee with milk will no longer be as delicious as it used to be. Just to compare, make yourself a simple coffee with milk and follow the effects. There is a better feeling so why not continue with the new healthier version.
This week, two effects are noticed: improved digestion and increased metabolism.
In the third week, the weight has decreased, in addition to the fact that the stomach is no longer visually bloated.
In the fourth week, the taste of good coffee with milk is definitely not so nice anymore and the habit of drinking new „healthier“ coffee appears. Metabolism is excellent and the feeling of heaviness and bloating in the stomach no longer exists. The number of coffees you drink in one day is reduced.

In minimal amounts, coconut oil can be good for the heart, maintains cholesterol levels and blood pressure. It has an antibacterial effect, increases immunity, and regulates digestion.
Choose cold-pressed unrefined coconut oil. It should be noted that at temperatures below 24°C, coconut oil naturally becomes solid. The process of transition from solid to the liquid state, and vice versa, does not affect the quality of the oil.
