Those of you that know me well understand that there’s only one thing worse than missing my two cups of healthy green tea in the morning, and that’s missing that one steaming hot cup of coffee that really jumpstarts my day. In my increasingly larger coffee mug is where the tower of terror used to stand. But no more. I’ve got a new vice − one that’s healthier and just as much fun. Instead of saturating my coffee with heavy cream, now I saturate it with 100% dark cocoa powder.
Short of an epiphany, there aren’t many things that can change your life in those wee hours before dawn, but 100% dark cocoa in your coffee is one of them. It’s good enough that for the time being I’ve abandoned my whipped creamer (much to Tom’s dismay, but that’s for an appropriately rated blog and video). Now I can have my coffee, love it and not feel guilty about it. Plus, chocolate pumps up those endorphins that add pleasure to the day (Maybe we should take some to the hospitals and dump it into the AC ducts).
Nurses love coffee and nurses love chocolate. There’s no better match. The next time you fill up your NACLNC® 7-Day Weekend souvenir coffee mug with coffee, top it off with a tablespoon of 100% dark cocoa. If it doesn’t change your life, it will at least change your morning.
I’m just sayin’
P.S. Comment and share your morning beverage of choice and why.
P.P.S. Tom asked, “What’s next, vitamin B injections?” LOL!
