Cutting back on coffee: the article outlines five dietitian-approved alternative drinks aimed at different morning goals, from veg-rich nutrition to protein and lower-calorie hydration. It notes fewer than one in 10 Australians reach the recommended daily intake of vegetables and fruit, and highlights vegetable-based green juices for vitamin C, folate and potassium, emphasizing products mainly based on spinach, kale, cucumber and celery with limited fruit for sweetness. It also covers “golden milk,” combining milk with turmeric, spices such as ginger and cinnamon, and a small amount of honey, with advice to choose real turmeric and added cayenne pepper while avoiding sweetened pre-mixes. High-protein breakfast drinks are described as potentially reaching 30g protein per serve, but label-checking is urged due to sugars and calories.
