Chickory Root – The Coffee Alternative

Are you looking for a coffee substitute, well neither was I until I had to remove coffee from my diet : ( !

Here comes Chickory root with it’s health boosting benefits…

It looks and tastes something like coffee but is caffeine-free and less expensive than the real thing.

This medicinal herb, helps purify the blood and detox the liver.

Chicory root…

•Supports digestion, and the breakdown/metabolism of fats by increasing bile production

•Contains inulin which helps regulate blood sugar levels and pulls toxins from the body when we visit the bathroom

• Inulin can regulate blood sugar levels and pulls toxins from the body when we visit the bathroom and boosts immunity.
