In addition to helping you survive your Monday blues, a daily cup of coffee can also be the perfect stress reliever. It might be just what you need to relax and recover.
There are several ways you can boost your day with coffee and maximize its benefits.
So, we are going to give you 9 healthy coffee recipes to supercharge your day.
1. Bulletproof Coffee Recipe
This creamy, rich coffee recipe is just what you need to supercharge your day and lose a few pounds. It is a great source of powerful antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, and beta carotene.
Ingredients
- 1 cup of hot coffee
- 2 tablespoons of coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon of grass-fed butter
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla
Directions
Start by making a hot cup of freshly brewed coffee. You can make coffee at home using any of the following techniques: French Press, pour-over, or drip. French Press and pour-over methods allow you to control the variables for a superior tasting cup of coffee.
In the right size glass jar, add 1 cup of freshly brewed coffee, 2 tablespoons of coconut oil, 1 teaspoon of vanilla syrup, and 1 teaspoon of grass-fed butter. Coconut oil is a great source of MCTs or medium-chain triglycerides. The MCTs may help you stay fuller for longer. Grass-fed butter, on the other hand, is loaded with healthy omega-3 fats and it’s also going to give your bulletproof coffee a creamy flavor.
Next, add the mixture to a blender or food processor. Blend for a minute and then pour the bulletproof coffee into a serving mug.

In this recipe, we are going to make the most delicious coffee smoothie that tastes like a blended coffee drink you would pick up at a coffee shop. This version features fresh brewed coffee and fruits.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup of strong brewed coffee
- 1 tablespoon of almond butter
- 1 tablespoon of hemp hearts

Directions
To get started, you will need 1/2 cup of strong brewed coffee. Caffee Streets says choosing high-quality beans is important to ensure that the brew will be strong and full of flavor.
You will also need 3 to 4 Medjool dates. Apart from being darker and larger, they have a caramel-like taste. Remember to remove the pits or seeds before adding the dates to the blender. You can soak your dates in the strong brewed coffee for around 10 minutes to make them soft.
In a blender, add 1/2 cup of strong brewed coffee, 3 to 4 softened dates, 1 tablespoon of hemp hearts (a good source of plant-based protein), and 1 tablespoon of almond butter (adds creaminess).
Blend all the ingredients until the Medjool dates are completely broken down. Then add some ice cubes to give your coffee smoothie a slushy texture. Pour the smoothie into a serving glass and enjoy it right away.
