Health Tip: Bambu
Tuesday, November 10th, 2009
Shout out to all my coffee addicts who are looking for a an alternative way to kick the habit without going cold turkey or switching to black tea. Not that there is anything wrong with black tea… love that too but ya’ know… it’s just not coffee.
Or maybe it’s just that caffeine or bromine messes with your system…
My sister recently introduced me to ‘Bambu’, an all natural, no caffeine swiss coffee substitute. It comes in an instant formula so you can take it to work with you without turning it into a production.
As a coffee addict myself, I’ve tried it and it’s not too bad. Tastes more like coffee than tea, but it’s not as bitter than coffee… so maybe you will have to add less sugar?
It’s made up of
- Rye
- Chicory
- Barley
- Malted barley
- Figs
- Acorns
and…
- it’s Gluten free!
- available in an organic blend
And for my lactose intolerant peeps out there, I haven’t tried it with soy yet, but the flavours work well with original, unsweetened Almond milk. Of course if you like it straight up and black, just add hot water. It can also be enjoyed as a cold drink.
Heard that ‘Dandelion Coffee’ can also be used as a coffee substitute but I haven’t tried that one yet, soon come.
If you have any other coffee alternatives, be sure to pass the word along.
Mmmm…. *Tasty!*
