1 12 HEALTHY RECIPES

2 For years there has been a hot debate over whether or not coffee is good for us. Some experts say it s good for your health and others say it s not. There are so many blends on the market, from instant coffee to delicate boutique blends, it can really get confusing! What we discovered when searching for the healthiest coffee was that it really comes down to what bean you re drinking, how it s served, and how often you re having it. Laurentine and I are infrequent coffee drinkers but enjoy it when we do. Around the world though, many people are consuming it on a much more regular basis than us. So we asked ourselves how can we help others drink the healthiest cup of coffee, and ensure that when we do choose to enjoy a cup, it s the best quality and as healthy as possible. As soon as we discovered Longevity Coffee, we knew it would be our blend of choice as it is certified organic, free from mycotoxins, rich in antioxidants and also surprisingly low in acidity. As it s our regular roast in the office, the Food Matters team wanted to show you some of our favorite ways to serve it, compiling 12 of our best as our special gift to you. After all, if you re going to have coffee, your body deserves the best! Enjoy, JAMES COLQUHOUN & LAURENTINE TEN BOSCH Filmmakers Food Matters & Hungry For Change and founders of FMTV
