Hi Friends,
This is going to be a quick post, but I have a new product I just have to share with you! (More on that in a second). As I’m sure many of you have been following, tonight is very exciting yet VERY stressful night for us Canadians. Our Canadian Olympic hockey team are playing the Russians in the quarter finals, and it is do or die!! I have so much confidence in our team, but still have butterflies in my stomach, it would mean so much to Canadians to have our Men winning the Gold medal on home ice! I know the Americans are playing as well today, so how about us Bloggies make a pact to cheer for one another in the quarter finals and then we can part ways and be each man/woman for themselves
It would be amazing to have it come down to a Canada vs. USA final – so exciting and we need redemption
hehehe
As I mentioned, I tried a new product that I just have to share with you all. I’ve seen Kristen from Kristen’s Raw enjoying this on quite a frequent basis, and when she loves something, it’s pretty much a guarantee that I will too! – Girls got GOOD taste!
So, to be honest with you, I’m not a coffee drinker, at all. I like the taste of it and I used to drink it occasionally, but it’s just not one of those things I have to have. I do however, love a warm cup of tea, or a warm cup of almond milk. When I saw on Kristen’s blog that she was drinking a coffee alternative, it definitely peaked my interest. Today I found it at the health food store and I had to share it with you:
Looks like coffee, right? It’s actually a herbal coffee alternative. The ingredients are amazing and consist of: organic roasted carob, organic barley, organic chicory, dates, almonds, vanilla extract, coconut flavour, figs. The main problem with coffee, is that it is very acidic. We want our bodies as alkaline as possible and coffee creates an acidic environment in the body. Teccino is naturally caffeine free and is non-acidic. It was SO delicious, if you are struggling trying to break a coffee addiction, I highly recommend that you try this product – there are a couple of different flavours so you can pick the one that best suits your palate
Alright friends, it’s time for me to staring practicing my game cheer! I hope you all will join me in chanting GO CANADA GO tonight!!
xoxo

Hmmm . . . Ive been trying to break my coffee addiction, but I get a KILLER headache if I havent had any by 9am. Yep, if I sleep in, I wake up with a headache, so Im not sure I’ll EVER kick it!
This looks so yummy though. Maybe for nighttime.

I have been reading about this product for so long and wondering what it was like- do you think that the taste is just like coffee?
I’ve successfully broken my coffee addiction- I am hooked on green tea! How is that with respect to alkalinity?

Wow! That drink looks/sounds soooo good. I’m not a “have to have it!” coffee drinker, either, but I do love the taste. I will keep an eye out for this! Thanks for the recommendation.

My ND actually suggested this blend for me for the same reason- the acidity in coffee is a no-no and I’m pretty sensitive to it. Where did you pick this one up from Krissy? Can you get it in Toronto?

A fun time! Like the black type better than the pink…easier to read….more reader friendly. Happy Sunday to you <3

I just found your blog & am loving it!
I have some teechino in my cupboard that I need to bring out of retirement. I bought it last year when I was pregnant & hoping to sub in for my morning coffee but the smell turned me off!

I can’t believe they have Vanilla flavored Teeccino, and all this time I’ve been drinking the regular stuff!
