Sipping it black (sans creamer, sugar, etc.) is without a doubt the healthiest way to enjoy your brew. Unfortunately, though, the taste of plain joe isn’t for everyone.

If you simply must dress up your cup with some sort of add-in, that doesn’t mean all hopes of drinking java that’s good for you are dead. It just means you’ll have to brew strategically, using a few healthy recipes — like the ones listed below, for instance — as your guide.

Cold Brew Coffee Banana Smoothie

As Kate at Babaganosh points out, it’s hard enough to brew your cup of coffee first thing in the morning, let alone make a full breakfast! That’s why we think her cold brew coffee banana smoothie recipe is a real lifesaver. It’s breakfast and coffee all in one, so if you can manage to wipe the sleep from your eyes long enough to start your blender, you’re all set!

Iced Ube Latte

The iced ube (pronounced ooh-beh) latte is a perfect pick for the at-home barista who has grown a bit bored with their daily brewing routine. It’s got the same ingredients as a typical latte — milk and espresso — but the addition of condensed milk and ube extract, taken from what’s essentially a purple sweet potato, makes the beverage a bit sweeter and a little more fun.

Date Sweetened Iced Coffee

We’re as crazy for sweetened java as the next guy, but we’ll admit it: we don’t always like having to scoop spoonfuls of sugar into the cup to get it. That’s why we like this particular iced coffee recipe; it gets its subtle sweetness from dates, so it’s a healthier choice than some other alternatives.

Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso

If you’re a regular at Starbucks, you know just how good the franchise’s shaken espresso with brown sugar and oat milk is. The problem, however, is that swinging by the drive-thru isn’t always the most efficient thing to do on your morning commute. Don’t worry, though; if you wake up with this drink on your mind, you can make it yourself.

Skinny Pumpkin Spice Latte

That creamy pumpkin spice latte you buy from your favorite café every day in October is delicious, but it’s probably high in sugar.

Just use this Baking Beauty recipe to make a skinny PSL. It’s healthier than the cup you’d buy from Starbucks but just as delicious.
