Happy New Years Eve! This year has truly been a crazy one. Nonetheless, I am thankful for every moment of it. I have enjoyed my time at home with my family baking cookies, watching Christmas movies and appreciated the moments of us all sitting in a room together, profusely laughing.
At last, the holidays have been such a wonderful time for me to enjoy the little things. And despite all the delicious holiday sweets and beverages offered throughout our celebrations, I still find myself turning to my classic cup of joe, with a small special twist. In light of the season of giving, I figured why not share my go-tos coffee elixirs with you all! Here below you will find my Fat Burning coffee elixir as well as my Immune Strengthening coffee elixir to help kickstart your mornings.

Enjoy this coffee when you are in a time crunch. These ingredients not only enhance fat burning, but also allow the body to stay in a fasted state. Be sure to stick to water and this coffee recipe, or simply enjoy your coffee black for the desired benefits of fasting throughout the morning.
