Why Your Afternoon Coffee Should be Chicory

Chicory coffee is made from roasted chicory root and has been enjoyed for centuries for its rich, coffee-like flavour. Beyond taste, it offers a range of benefits, making it a great alternative for anyone looking to cut back on caffeine without giving up their daily ritual.

Caffeine-Free, Without Compromise
Chicory coffee contains no caffeine, yet its deep, roasted flavour provides a satisfying coffee experience. For those sensitive to caffeine, it’s a way to enjoy your usual ritual without the jitters or sleep disruption.

Gut-Friendly Prebiotics
Chicory root is high in inulin, a type of prebiotic fiber that supports gut health by feeding beneficial bacteria. A healthy gut can improve digestion, nutrient absorption, and even help stabilise energy levels throughout the day.

Blood Sugar Support
Inulin may also help regulate blood sugar by slowing digestion and supporting balanced insulin response. This can help prevent sudden spikes and dips in energy after meals.

Low-Calorie and Antioxidant-Rich
Chicory coffee is naturally low in calories, and it’s often used as a coffee extender, so you can enjoy a larger cup with fewer calories. It also contains antioxidants, which help neutralise free radicals and support overall wellbeing.

Brew it on its own, blend it with regular coffee, or make a creamy latte. Chicory’s nutty, slightly sweet flavour works well with milk, plant-based alternatives, or a touch of sweetener, making it simple to include in your routine.

Chicory coffee is more than a caffeine-free option — it’s a functional, flavourful addition to your day that supports gut health, energy balance, and overall wellness.
