For many of us, coffee is a daily ritual—but did you know moderate coffee consumption can actually be part of a healthy lifestyle? Enjoy your brew the smart way! When it comes to your morning cup, our experts suggest keeping it simple: black, unsweetened coffee or a splash of milk if you prefer. Whether enjoyed hot or cold, choosing unsweetened coffee is a great way to cut back on added sugars and can be a healthier alternative to sugary sodas, fruit drinks, and energy drinks. #ForYourHealth #CaffeineAwarenessMonth Learn more: https://bit.ly/4i07v58
