Try Putting This In Your Coffee Instead Of Sugar

True coffee lovers are always on the lookout for the next best thing. In this case, the next best sweetener. There are so many healthier options to sweeten your coffee than just plain sugar. All-natural spices and sweeteners give your coffee that extra kick you need in the morning. Regular, granulated sugar isn't always the healthiest option and besides, if you never try anything else, you might never discover that there are other options that taste really good. Why not add a little boost to your coffee? Adding healthier options is that much more beneficial than just your typical caffeine fix. Oh, and caffeine is pretty good for you as well, by the way. From antioxidants to heart health benefits, natural sweetener options are just the way to go, IMHO.

These options can even taste better than regular sugar as well. Maple flavored coffee? Sign me up! Who doesn't like a little extra something when it comes to their morning cup of coffee? It's the best wake up call that you can get. Wondering what type of healthy options to add to your coffee? Here are a few of my personal favorites to jump start my coffee. Oh, and don't forget to Instagram your final creation — that's important too.
