Want a coffee buzz all day long? Eat these things!
If you’re a true coffee lover and always looking for ways to get it into your system in as many forms as possible, we have the ultimate tips for you. From coffee in your breakfast to ending the day with a cocktail that won’t immediately send you to sleep, this is how to eat, drink and cook with coffee until you (don’t) drop:
By the way, maybe don’t try all of this in one day… but spread it over several days and you’ll have a coffee moment to look forward to every day!
Coffee butter
We’re starting right away with a thick slice of toast with coffee butter. Easy, quick to make, and a brilliant idea if you’ve actually moved beyond standard Nutella.
Coffee chia pudding
Health-conscious types might prefer to start the day with a chia pudding breakfast. You have to soak those seeds anyway, so you can easily do that in leftover coffee! You can immediately experiment with flavorings such as a little cocoa or grated coconut, then sprinkle some fresh fruit and nuts over it the next morning.
Or a shake
Another incredibly delicious breakfast: a filling shake made with, for example, banana, avocado, plant-based milk, a teaspoon of honey and a generous splash of coffee. Bet that 11 a.m. slump will pass you by?
Boost your lunch
You can definitely work coffee into your lunch too. An easy way to do that is to heat up some leftover the most delicious chili con carne, prepared with a splash of strong coffee in the sauce. Absolutely delicious; it gives this dish (and other hearty South American recipes) a robust depth. If you have the inclination and time to get into the kitchen at home for a luxurious midday meal: you can give a beautiful piece of fresh tuna a special rub made from ground coffee, a pinch of cocoa, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Sear it briefly and over high heat in a frying pan, and you’ll definitely have something different from a standard lunch!
The golden combination of chocolate and coffee
Time for your afternoon cup of coffee? Then you’ve earned something sweet to go with it, right? We don’t think you can go wrong with a good, fudgy brownie with a teaspoon of ground coffee mixed into the batter for the occasion.
Winner winner coffee dinner
Come to the table! We already mentioned the chili con carne that you can let simmer with coffee and the rub for the tuna. But a rub made with ground coffee is also delicious and distinctive with meat; for example, on a beautiful steak. And many people recommend adding a splash to a rich gravy for, say, pork chops.
To top it all off
And for dessert? After eating coffee all day? We only need two words for that, of course: espresso martini!!
In short: if you look beyond your morning cup of joe, you can discover a caffeine-happy world to enjoy all day long…
