Cup of Coffee: Optimo 3+3 Coffee

With people's hectic schedules nowadays, a lot of people turn to 3 in 1 instant coffee mixes for a fast, convenient caffeine fix. However, if you read the back of 3 in 1 coffees (and I've read a lot, trust me), it's so disappointing how the first ingredient is most of the time sugar, followed by creamer, and instant coffee just comes in third. Not only are you feeding your body with empty calories, you're basically just drinking sugar disguised as coffee. That energy boost you felt might not be from the caffeine, but rather just a sugar rush. Luckily, I found an instant coffee variant that not only has coffee as its first ingredient, but is in general a lot healthier than most instant coffees in the market.

There are so many great things about Optimo 3+3 Coffee Mix. First of all, it uses Suchero Coco Sap sweetener which is a 100% Organic and Natural sweetener derived from coconut. Aside from this, even its creamer is also coconut based. I never feel guilty drinking this coffee because I know I'm taking in a healthy sweetener and a non-dairy creamer. 

Also, yes, you read right the first time. While other instant coffee mixes are simply 3 in 1, Optimo is 3+3 because aside from the coffee, creamer and sugar mix, it also has 3 additional extracts namely Gingko Biloba, Green Tea, and Grapeseed. 

Gingko Biloba is known as a memory and concentration enhancer that improves mental performance which make a cup of this coffee perfect while trying to accomplish school or work tasks. Green Tea has powerful antioxidants and helps increase metabolism, thus burns fat. Who knew drinking coffee could help you lose weight? Lastly, grape seed helps collagen repair which keeps skin elastic and wrinkle-free.  

I love how aside from simply using healthier alternatives to sugar and creamer, Optimo has all these additional ingredients that make your coffee work more for you instead of simply giving you a caffeine and sugar rush that's bound to crash after a few hours. Despite all these ingredients, this coffee is also one of the best tasting instant coffees I've had! It really tastes just like a strong, good coffee with just the right amount of sweetness. None of that sugary aftertaste you get with regular sugar.

Ever since I've tried this coffee, I've been having it every morning, and I am just in love with it! I'm such a coffee lover, and I'm glad I've found an instant coffee mix that's not only fast and easy to prepare, but healthy and delicious, as well.
