One of the most popular (and potentially the most difficult) feats when the new year rolls around is to quit the caffeine. After the first of January, it seems that each year people gain a newfound purpose to cut back on the energizing yet addicting elixir that is coffee.

But if you love the taste of coffee, and the energy boost that comes with it, it can deter you from this caffeine-free goal. If you're one of these coffee-obsessed individuals, don't fret. Here are eight blends to trim down the caffeine, tailored to you and your personal coffee order. Whether you opt for a sweet latte or a strong black cold brew, here are the swaps that will keep you satisfied and full of energy.

If you like your lattes extra sweet

This blend of herbs mirrors the taste of a cozy hot chocolate but will energize you like a morning java. Maca is great for sustaining energy, while the rich cocoa makes it taste like a treat.

If you opt for iced coffee—even in winter

If you like black coffee, no exceptions

We know there are some people who just love the taste of coffee and won't settle for anything less than a good cup (or three) of joe. To keep that strong flavor, try this blend from Mud\Wtr. It has one-seventh the caffeine, but with ingredients like reishi and masala chai, you'll feel energized and clearheaded all day long.

If you've got a thing for bulletproof coffee

Adding healthy fats like coconut or MCT oil to your coffee has become all the rage these keto-inspired days. ThinkNOO's keto-friendly blend already includes a healthy balance of MCTs, taking that extra step for you.
