Green Tea Chai = Happy Mornings

Hello my dear blog readers. I have been meaning to tell you about my somewhat new favorite tea discovery. It is made by Yogi Teas and it is a green tea chai. I love the flavor of chai in the morning with high grade raw honey and a dash of coconut creamer or almond milk, delish! It is low in caffeine but you  get a bit of pep plus the antioxidant benefits of green tea. I lost my taste for coffee immediately upon becoming pregnant and most green or black teas make me vomit if I drink them first thing in the morning. But this tea is the best of all worlds. It is flavorful, decadent, good for you and not so strong that it turns your tummy. I actually just ran out of my stash today and am not looking forward to my morning without it. This is a really great tea if you are transitioning to a lower caffeinated tea or trying to quit coffee. For you pregnant ladies out there, listen first to your doctor, but most scientific research shows that 150-200 mg per day of caffeine is fine, just stay mindful. If you can do without it, great. But if you need to hold onto a little morning happiness with a touch of caffeine, I say do what makes you happy. Remember it's all about happiness in the mind, body, soul and finding your own way.
To Love, Health & the Middle Path!!!
