I’m sure you’ve seen the now famous old time photo on T shirts with the guy literally vibrating and the saying “Coffee; Is the Planet shaking or is it just me?”
Granted that’s humorous. But the reason it’s funny, is because it’s true. We only really think things are funny when we can relate to them in some way and for us to really relate well there must be at least a little bit of truth to it.
Did you know, when polled, most coffee drinkers said they would like to try a coffee alternative if one existed that actually worked and that didn’t taste like recycled motor oil (Ok, I added the motor oil bit, but you get the point).
You know, we all have our own personal reasons why we want to get off coffee and I respect that, however I have compiled a few just to illustrate a couple of the reasons why I no longer drink the stuff.
The top ten reasons you should find a good coffee alternative right now are
1. You haven’t blinked since the last lunar eclipse.
2. You get a speeding ticket even when you’re parked.
3. The nurse needs a scientific calculator to take your pulse.
4. You sleep with your eyes open.
5. The only time you’re standing still is during an earthquake.
6. Your eyes stay open when you sneeze.
7. You chew on other people’s fingernails.
8. You’re so jittery that people use your hands to blend their margaritas.
9. Your only source of nutrition comes from “Sweet & Low.”
10. Charles Manson thinks you need to calm down.
We all know we really want to get off this addictive rollercoaster we call Java but what are the coffee alternatives out there? Is there really a coffee alternative that works?
Well, yes there is, it’s a South American herb called Yerba Mate that the natives of the regions of Paraguay, Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil have been drinking for Centuries.
It has the power to Invigorate the mind and energize the body without giving you the jitters the shakes or the dreaded Crash! And It can do all this while supplying you with one of the world’s most potent antioxidants to help keep you healthy and well.
There are two problems however:
1. Yerba Mate all by itself will not amount to much of a mainstream coffee alternative without the help of some other herbs like Catuaba and Pata De Vaca. These serve to turbo charge it and really give you that ultra crisp sharpness that a North American connoisseur demands.
2. It has to still be Green and Unroasted or most of the nutritional and antioxidant benefits are destroyed. It must also be Organically grown because some of the pesticides they use in those countries have long since been banned from use in the USA. And of course if it’s Organic they aren’t using any sprays at all.
So, does a viable alternative to coffee really exist. Sure it does and I drink it every day. You Just have to find a blend of the herbs Yerba Mate, Catuaba and Pata De Vaca. Once you find your perfect combination of these herbs your search for a viable coffee alternative that works will be over. And you will be a happy camper who doesn’t have the jitters and no longer crashes just like me.
