Trying a new ingredient does not have to mean changing your entire diet. Familiar foods and drinks are an easy starting point.
Hot chocolate: try cacao
Warm your preferred milk and whisk in unsweetened cacao powder. Add sweetness to taste.
Breakfast: add berries
Fresh, frozen or powdered berries can add colour and flavour to yoghurt, smoothies and bowls. Acai powder can be blended with banana and frozen berries.
Coffee: experiment with mushroom extracts
Some mushroom extract powders are designed to dissolve in hot drinks. A measured serving can be mixed into coffee according to the product directions.
Soft drinks: try iced tea
Brew tea, cool it and serve over ice. Lemon, berries, mint or other herbs can be added for flavour.
Matcha
Matcha can be whisked with water traditionally or prepared with milk as a matcha latte. It naturally contains caffeine.
Keep it practical
The best food swap is one you actually enjoy. Start with flavour and convenience, and follow the preparation directions for concentrated extracts and packaged products.
