Coffee may be a morning must for many, but there are other ways to jump-start your day without suffering through an upset stomach, jitters or disturbed sleep. Many healthy alternatives to coffee offer similar caffeine boosts without the downsides such as upset stomach, jitters or disrupted sleep.

Some healthy coffee alternatives contain only minimal caffeine; others do not at all, are low in sugar, and fit easily into most autoimmune diets. The key to finding out the ideal healthy coffee alternative for yourself is by paying attention to how it makes you feel; if it upsets your stomach, gives you the jitters or keeps you awake at night then perhaps something else might be more suitable.

Chicory Coffee is an increasingly popular healthy alternative to coffee. Crafted from roasted chicory root, chicory coffee contains significantly less caffeine and is high in inulin (a prebiotic fiber which promotes gut health), providing it with its signature coffee-like taste without any of its downsides; you can drink it alone, add it to morning smoothies or even use it in your regular coffee to reduce its caffeinated intake.

Matcha green tea is another healthy beverage option to consider, made of finely ground green tea leaves that have been stoneground to form a fine powder, offering all of the health benefits associated with green tea while only having half as much caffeine than an average cup of coffee (less than 1/2 tsp per matcha serving). If you don’t have access to matcha, add a pinch to your usual cup of coffee to boost antioxidants while decreasing caffeine consumption.

Mushroom teas are becoming an increasingly popular healthy alternative to coffee, offering numerous nutrients, vitamins, and minerals that can reduce stress, improve focus, and promote better nights’ rest. Their earthy yet delectable taste make them ideal for anyone seeking an energy boost without compromising their overall wellbeing.

Protein-rich shakes and smoothies make an excellent coffee substitute as they contain essential energy-sustaining proteins like chia seeds or nut butter, or protein powder made from bone broth. For an especially nutritious beverage option, combine green vegetables with either of these elements for maximum protein absorption!

If you’re searching for an effective caffeine-free coffee alternative, golden milk or turmeric lattes might just be what you need. These warm beverages contain turmeric – an anti-inflammatory spice – plus warming spices such as ginger, cinnamon and black pepper to provide soothing digestive support and provide an enjoyable way to start each day. They’re hydrating beverages which provide relief to digestive system issues while soothing inflammation from inflammation-inducing dairy. They’re an easy choice if dairy allergies or intolerance exist too – perhaps adding an ingredient such as collagen or chia seeds may increase their nutritional content if desired!
