End-Of-Summer Paleo Coffee

There is a certain point, usually mid August, when I am horrified that thought “I can’t wait for scarf and boot season” crosses through my mind. It’s an unfortunate but annual moment. A moment at which I begin to morn the end of summer while embracing every single last moment of sunshine and weekends on the river. I live in Virginia. Of course, I’m a bit biased, but I really feel like this is one of the greatest states simply because we experience all four seasons. We have snow {not a lot, but enough} in the winter. Spring can be wet, but sunny and full of blooming flowers. Summer… oh summer. We have beaches and mountains: the best of all worlds. You haven’t lived until you have experienced Fall in VA. Virginia embraces one of the prettiest Autumns you will ever experience. If you don’t have leaves that change to the brightest shades of golds, oranges and reds in your hometown - you need to plan a trip through the Shenandoah Valley this October. So when I mentally begin to transition from Summer to Fall, baby steps are required. Only fools jump straight into the pumpkin spice… As one who lives a paleo and whole30 life, one thing I really miss from time to time, is coffee creamer. And not just the plain jane, basically milk, stuff. I miss that horrible-for-you, sugary, so-good but so-bad, flavored creamer. Did you know that you can still flavor your coffee without that crap?! GASP! Who knew?! So today, I want to share with you my End-of-Summer Paleo Coffee Blend. It’s still sweet, but has a hit of fall in it. Highlights? It’s much better for you than that horrible creamer, it’s all natural, and most of the ingredients are already in your spice cabinet.

Ingredients: Your favorite blend of coffee {Regular or Decaf}2 heaping Tablespoons of Heavy Coconut Cream5 Drops of Liquid Stevia1/4 Teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract 1/2 Teaspoon of Cinnamon 1/2 Teaspoon of 100% Cocoa

Directions:

Blend all of the ingredients in your coffee mug prior to adding the actual coffee.

Brew coffee, pour into mug.

Stir well, making sure everything melts and blends completely.

Sip and enjoy. Embrace the hint of fall while appreciating the last couple weeks of summer.

What are your favorite coffee blends? Are you the kind of person who anxiously awaits the arrival of the Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte? Stay tuned…

That sounds really good. If only I liked coffee! I love pumpkin spiced drinks, coconut drinks, and of course the yummy hot chocolate when the weather gets cooler.

  Next on my list is a chocolate coffee… you may have to give it a go! I’m typically a tea drinker, but every now and then I just love a good cup of coffee. 🙂

I’m going to have to try this! I too miss those crap creamers sometimes. Although, I had some in between w30’s and they just tasted to chemically and too sweet. Excited to see what you have for a pumpkin spice latte!

  Isn’t it crazy how they used to be okay, and now, when you taste something like that you can really taste the “chemically sweet” and gross taste they come with?? I am normally a tea drinker, but I have fun mixing things up and trying to flavor my coffee. If starbucks can do it, I can find a {clean} way to do it too!
