Instant Herbal Beverage with Dandelion, Caffeine Free, 2 lbs (908 g)

I discovered Dandy Blend when i was forced (for health reasons) to go on a diet that excluded ALL caffeine - not even decaff tea was allowed. But on the slip that the specialist gave me detailing my diet, next to "no caffeine" it said "Dandy Blend ok". I thought "what's dandy blend?" I love my decaff Nespresso pods and so the thought of not being able to have my creamy hot morning drink, I went home and looked up Dandy Blend online to find it on Amazon. I actually like it just as much as coffee and maybe a little better. It tastes delicious cold or hot. Its easy to mix and comes in the same form as instant coffee so it immediately blends and dissolves with any liquid. I've had it sweet or without any sweetener. I have it with almond milk or black and its seriously delicious any which way you spin it. However, word to those of you who are looking for something that tastes exactly like coffee but has no caffeine - if you blind tested Dandy and coffee, you could easily tell which is which. But its delicious and tastes similar enough that after only a week or so, I couldn't remember how coffee tasted different. It reminds me of properly brewed cold coffee where it lacks any acidity taste but is still very rich and smooth. So the taste was more than enough for me to drink it, but then i stumbled upon the health benefits of dandelion and i'm a Dandy Blend lifer now! 1. Digestion: Dandelion root is a mild laxative and also balances the good bacteria found in your intestines. It also helps your stomach and liver release stomach acid and bile which keeps your digestion moving properly. 2. Kidney support: Dandelion is a diuretic which assists the kidneys in flushing out waste, salt and excess water. This can be especially helpful for women who have trouble with bloating during PMS. Instead of leaving you dehydrated from water loss, dandelion will replenish your potassium stores which is an important electrolyte. 3. Liver support: As mentioned above, Dandelion root helps the liver release bile which is an important function of this organ. This promotes removal of toxins and replenishment of electrolytes. 4. Antioxidants: It is known that coffee can help remove free radicals but it is also known that dandelion root does this better! Dandelion root is packed full of antioxidants which slows the aging process (while coffee actually accelerates aging). 5. Cancer fighting: Dandelion has been shown to fight cancer cells and this claim has been backed up with A LOT of research. Every part of this plant is packed with antioxidants and phytonutrients that have been proven to slow the growth and even prevent formation of cancer cells. 6. Diabetes: This is another benefit of coffee which is listed above, so why not switch over to Dandy blend to have the same benefits PLUS many more! Dandelion helps regulate blood sugar and insulin which is something that coffee actually destroys. 7, Blood pressure: Dandelion’s diuretic effects leads to more frequent urination which in turn will lower blood pressure. Fiber and Potassium found in Dandelion will also regulate blood pressure. 8. Inflammation: While most people are aware of the inflammation they can experience in physical injuries, more education is starting to reach people about the issues that internal inflammation can cause. Inflammation is the culprit in many diseases and illnesses today. Dandelion will reduce inflammation through it’s essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and phytonutrients. This reduction of inflammation helps internally as well as externally from sport injuries. 9. Immune System: If what I mentioned above wasn’t enough, dandelion boosts immune function! It destroys any bugs entering your system so can be especially helpful during the winter months. The only downside of Dandy Blend is that it is VERY susceptible to moisture and will start to dissolve so if any drops get into your Dandy container, you'll wind up with sticky clumps of moist dandy paste. However, we keep our in a simple vacuum container that we used to keep our coffee in for freshness and we have had no problems at all. The product bag also has a ziplock top so you could also just keep it in the product bag if you didn't want to invest in an airtight container. And to answer your question, no, i was NOT paid to post this review or given a free bag of Dandy Blend. But, if the vendor ever wanted to send me a free bag of Dandy, I would certainly not complain. :)

湿気やすいので小分けにして保存がおすすめです。

I was skeptical when I purchased a sample pouch of Dandy Blend at a health food store while were out camping but enjoyed the taste of coffee again! I used to drink 10 to 15 cups of coffee a day but haven't had any for over 20 years due to stomach and digestive issues - coffee didn't help. I have had stomach problems for most of my life due to many food allergies/ntolerances so giving up coffee was a sad day indeed. IBS limits my food choices and allergies especially to wheat and being lactose intolerant has changed my eating habits - not all sad news however I probably eat better because of it. :-) The Dandy Blend was a welcome alternative to having the coffee taste I missed and I was impressed enough to order the "giant bag" on Amazon.ca and its certainly delish, blends well with water, goat milk, lactose free milk, almond milk and soy milk... no residue at the bottom of the mug either!! I have typically 1-2 mugs per day consisting of 1 full teaspoon of Dandy Blend in hot water and add a little goat milk with Organic Sucanat for sweetener - its a morning drink for me now. Oh... and there was some concerns from other customers about the flactulence... I also suffer from constipation due to the IBS and this has helped with some regularity for me. Not sure if that's a bonus for others but I appreciate being able to "go" - I don't seem to have the toots either!
