3 Helpful Healthy Coffee Recipes That Boost Your Run

Many people look forward to the morning only because they know that they’ll be drinking a cup of joe. There is something quite magical about how coffee can completely change your mood and boost your energy levels in the morning.

However, even though coffee can increase your energy enough for you to function and think properly, it usually isn’t enough to enhance your performance during a run. Thankfully, you can try the following 3 healthy coffee recipes with natural energy boosters that will surely help power your runs. Not only is this a better and healthier option than the numerous energy boosters on the market today, but it is more affordable as well.

Coffee with Coconut Oil and Cacao Powder

This is an impressive, simple recipe that will surely boost your run. Simply add 1-2 teaspoons of coconut oil and a tablespoon of cacao powder to your coffee, and you will be ready to go jogging. Coconut oil is a great addition to your morning cup of joe because it contains a lot of medium-chain fatty acids, which are substances known for increasing energy levels. On top of that, it will help you burn fat and aid you in weight loss.

It’s also vital to note that you shouldn’t confuse the second ingredient with cocoa powder. Putting cocoa in your coffee won’t do anything but change its flavor. However, when you put cacao powder in the coffee, it will stimulate a flow of endorphins that will give you with the energy to complete your run almost effortlessly. This ingredient contains another natural stimulant known as theobromine, which is known for helping burn fat.

Bulletproof Coffee

One of the best methods to boost your performance during a run is to add 1-2 tablespoons of unsalted, grass-fed butter and 1-2 tablespoons of medium-chain triglyceride oil. When you do this, you get a drink that is commonly referred to as the bulletproof coffee.

This drink has become popular recently, after NBA players, surfers, and other famous people started talking about it. A tech entrepreneur named Dave Asprey is the man who came up with the idea for this beverage. It quickly became popular because it promotes weight loss, suppresses hunger, boosts your energy levels, and enhances your performance.

It’s super easy to make this drink, and you will surely notice a difference in your energy levels and performance once you drink it. This beverage is so recognized across the United States that there is currently even a Bulletproof coffee shop in Santa Monica where they sell the coffee.

Coffee with Cinnamon and Cardamom

Cinnamon and cardamom are both very delicious and healthy spices. To make this drink, you can simply add a teaspoon of cinnamon and a teaspoon of ground cardamom into your coffee. In case you don’t feel like going for a run due to muscle soreness, the cinnamon will help you with its anti-inflammatory properties and get you moving.

On the other hand, the Middle Eastern spice known as cardamom is known for boosting energy levels and improving circulation, which is why I wondered if I should get this since it’s very important when you’re going for a run.

An Open Letter To The Hustlers

To be or not to be, to go all in or to unwind and relax, we question our dreams, running in constant chase of our quests to come true, we are the ones who never sleep.

In the stride of embracing the best you have ever been, nurture your soul before the onset of the abundance in you that lies unseen.

Too bold, too much for your age, you are doing too much, how often have you heard these notions been used to describe you? As we tirelessly strive to achieve the next goal we have in our mind, we are often told that we are being hard on ourselves, to enjoy life a little. Life in its entirety passes by us in its dynamic flair, and the existence we envisage holds unique individuality to each one of us. The choices one makes for themselves belies them and them only, and t

How To Remain Centered And Calm In Face Of Difficulty

My life is a mess and I have nothing to be grateful about! I witness myself say this phrase from time to time, where life plonks us into the desperation of ebb and flow of wilderness and things not going in our favour.

While it is easier said than done, here are some reminders that might help you get through the days that feel like a burden –

15 Most Liberating Thoughts For Someone Who Needs It

Our life unfolds in a succession of revelations of who we are. It is when we sit down and repeat the same sentence in our head over and over again, in every action we perform, every activity we indulge ourselves in, does it indulges into our existence as a habit.

The key to having a sense of liberation is allowing life to flow through, not forcing anything and more essentially not resisting change. I believe that our life improves in the direct proportionality of how often we are exposed to situations where are forced to challenge our age-old beliefs and counterfeited perceptions and seek the greater version of ourselves. When we get too comfortable in the comfort zones we build for ourselves, we do not grow into the people we are meant to be. Sadly most people embrace change only when metamorphosis is the less painful and only possible option.

My Rendezvous With Life

The treacherous waters of existence hail in their stride,As the beauty of sailing against the winds uproars in its ride.Benevolence in its yonder stirs the mirth of the true,Navigating the turbulent waves, death and I had a rendezvous.

I sought the beauty of the light that was unseen,In the depths of my muse, I found my world within.Life in its flair, trudged me into the emblems of the dark,The dreams that perspired in the seed embraced their death,As it was time for a new quest to embark.

The Power of Understanding Your Love Language

Love is the purest emotion one feels towards themselves and another individual. While the expression of love can vary in its entirety from one person to another, the care we hold for the ones we love shares an undeniable impact on how we forge our perceptions of interpersonal relationships. The way we communicate our feelings to someone also says a lot about how we are wired, the method of conveying our affection to our beloved ones is called a love language. You may express affection to the one you love regularly, but do you take the time to ensure that you are communicating it in the way that the other person prefers? Even love can become lost in translation when two individuals speak different love languages.

The Beauty Of Gratitude In A World Full Of Cynicism

Ever acquainted with the phrase that the world that you exist in, the life that you embody dwells in the perception of the stance you hold for yourself. The beauty and the tragedy of life is that it is as beautiful as the optimistic lens of perception and as ugly as the pessimistic view of your being.

The strive of our endeavours and the constant effort to achieve the next massive milestone often drive us to the edges of insanity, to be in the consistent light of greatness we lose sight of the great strings of joy that bind our existence together. To be the best we have ever been we must be mindful of the best we are.

I Breathe In The Sauntering Air That Collapses My Being

I Breathe In The Sauntering Air That Collapses My Being

I breathe in the sauntering air that collapses my being,I breathe through the crevices of my existence unseen.Uncertainty in its yonder strikes in bolt on the scars that nobody sees,Redemption that loves, redemption that is free, find me in the depths of my poetry.

Tales of lust ridden in smeared touches that belie,Entreated with envy, the visions of victory lie.To be or not to be in a question that yet lies,For I yearn for a world where fond passion never dies.

Enclasped in the cage of the deemed duty,Bounded in her vows, she forgot she was a thing of beauty.In a realm we live, where amour in its truth fails to stand tall,She, tired of her existence, submerges herself into the beauty that her dreams enthrall.

Chaos in its uproar hails in its darkness
