These Hot Wellness Drinks Are the New Green Juice

Published on 1/14/2017 at 8:44 PM

Things are heating up in the wellness world, thanks to chilly weather and our collective desire for a little morning health boost. While you might typically sip on a cold-pressed juice first thing in the morning, sometimes the frigid temps make our usual liquid produce a little less appealing. And we'd never encourage you to heat up your cold-pressed juices, but what do you do when it's just too cold for your usual wellness drink?

Instead of opting for a sugary latte or hot cocoa, more and more cafes are offering warming wellness elixirs. We've seen the trend begin to emerge with golden milk, which has slowly begun to creep into cafe menus all over, alongside other hot, healing tonics. And the good news is, you don't have to live in a trendy, health-oriented city like San Francisco or New York to get your hands on one — we have recipes for some superfood sips you can brew up at home.
