YouChews Coffee Chews — YouChews / YouChews

If you want to get your caffeine fix but don’t have time to drink a whole cup of coffee, there’s a new solution. YouChew’s Coffee Chews blend 100% Hawaiian-grown Kona coffee beans with smooth cacao and Guarana to deliver a delicious pick-me-up that rivals your favorite cup of joe. Perfect for on-the-go energy, each chew contains the same caffeine as an 8-ounce cup of coffee. Two chews contain the equivalent of a double shot of espresso. The caffeine in each chew comes from a plant native to the Amazon rainforest known as Guarana, delivering long-lasting energy without sugar spikes or jitters.

Each YouChew coffee chew contains only 2 grams of sugar and uses all-natural ingredients. Each bite includes a delicious creamy coconut and a slightly sweet, soft flavor from natural coconut butter, blended with a gentle chocolatey experience from the velvety cacao. Unlike other caffeine-packed products that can sometimes cause a crash, YouChew’s Coffee Chews contain natural caffeine released slowly. As a result, users get longer, more consistent energy without the highs and lows of coffee.

The YouChew brand has crafted these new Hawaiian coffee chews after heavy research investigating the absorption of soft chews. Research shows that soft chews have superior absorption to pills, powders, and gummies, allowing the caffeine in these chews to be highly absorbed by the body. Plus, the delicious flavor of each is almost like a mid-day snack. Each chew is vegan-friendly, keto-friendly, and dairy-free, making this an excellent option for nearly any coffee and chocolate lover. Even better, these Hawaiian coffee chews come individually wrapped, perfect for taking no matter where you’re headed.

Pods packed with 70% more coffee

Stone Creek Coffee Escape Pods

Milwaukee-based specialty coffee roaster, Stone Creek Coffee, introduces sustainable, plant-based pods packed with 70% more coffee for a richer, bolder cup. These new K-Cup-compatible capsules, called the Stone Creek Coffee Escape Pods, deliver a smarter, stronger, and faster way to make real coffee at home. Escape Pods differ from regular K-Cups in that they're made with plant-based materials and zero plastic waste for a choice you can feel great about. In addition, each coffee pod contains 70% more coffee per pod compared to the standard single-serve version. After use, cups can be composted as a no-waste solution.

The new Stone Creek Coffee Escape Pods have launched in three of the brand's signature roasts: a light roast (Boneshaker), a medium roast (Cream City), and a dark roast (3 Volcanoes). Whether you enjoy a mild and citrusy light roast coffee or a deep, dark roast with notes of dark chocolate, the new Escape Pods feature roast options for every type of coffee drinker. Coffee drinkers can also brew pods with varying amounts of water, ranging from 8 to 12 ounces, depending on their strength preferences. Each box contains 12 pods and retails for $25. Ecscape pods are available in Stone Creek Coffee cafés and online.

How to make a frozen cappuccino: The perfect refreshing coffee drink

How to find (and make) this frothy, frozen coffee

frozen cappuccino

A frozen cappuccino is not a drink you'll come across often. If you do find it on a menu, order it. Last week, I first saw this drink on a restaurant menu in Florida, which featured a spiked frozen cappuccino made with rich chocolate and a splash of spiced rum. I immediately knew I needed to learn more about this interesting take on an iced cappuccino. A frozen cappuccino is the perfect refreshing coffee drink to sip on a hot day or as a fun alternative to a frozen espresso martini. Here are three different ways to make a frozen cappuccino at home.

Unlike the popular Starbucks Frappuccino, a frozen cappuccino in its most basic form is a frozen twist on a regular iced cappuccino. Using a blender to crush the ice creates a smooth, frozen, and slushy texture for this drink, almost like a "coffee smoothie". What makes a cappuccino unique is its stronger espresso flavor, made with a balanced ingredient ratio of 1/3 steamed milk, 1/3 espresso, and 1/3 milk foam.

Avoid the additives found in many coffee creamers

Coffee with cream

When I first heard of a "homemade coffee creamer recipe," I immediately pictured a multi-step process requiring dozens of ingredients. As much as I love cooking, my hectic everyday work week doesn't allow me time to experiment with complicated recipes.

Yet, I know that many store-bought creamers today contain many additives, such as lots of sugar or high fructose corn syrup, maltodextrin, and emulsifiers. Therefore, it's easy to see the appeal of trying a homemade coffee creamer. To my surprise, making coffee creamer at home is uncomplicated. It's way easier than it sounds. Many recipes, such as this homemade coffee creamer, require only four natural ingredients.
