BARLEE Coffee Alternative Beverage Blend - Chicory Root Powder - Instant Chicory Coffee Substitute - No Sugar Caffeine Free (Blueberry, 7.05 OZ)

I like it much better than coffee! It doesn't have the bitterness that coffee does. The blueberry one you can't even taste blueberries either.

I cannot have coffee due to developing an allergy to it later in life. I used to love my coffee. My husband found this for me and had me give it a try. I was apprehensive at first and was absolutely delighted when I gave it a taste and it tasted just like my beloved coffee.

I’m still experimenting with how much to use. Today was the best - used 2 serving teaspoons of fine Barlee, boiling water & milk & it was good, even left a lasting burnt roast like coffee in my mouth - maybe I used too much! Package suggests one! I’m not a big coffee drinker; I was using instant decaf & my doctor said it was unhealthy as petroleum is used to rid it of caffeine! So now I’m turning to a healthier alternative. Tho blueberries are an ingredient but I don’t taste any; its packaging makes it light enough to take on a trip. My order came with two 7.05 ounce bags so I’m not giving up - why not join me on this journey of a healthy, 100% natural alternative that’s vegan, gluten-fee, & non-GMO & yes, it is produced in Ukraine but no healthy USA made alternative, so I’ll stick with this & find the best amount of Barlee for me!

I am not a coffee drinker. I have liked chewing on coffee beans ever since I was given some coffee beans at school when I was 8, but have never liked the actual coffee drink. I bought this because I read that chicory root helps heal leaky gut syndrome which can cause a lot of really horrible health issues, including some that I have. I have multiple autoimmune conditions with no cures, no hope of cures in my lifetime, and I am at the end of what doctors can do to help. I got so desperate that I researched alternative treatments like diet changes and supplements and things like this because otherwise I have no more options. I don't know yet if this is helping, but I was surprised that despite the fact that I usually don't like coffee, I actually really like the taste of this stuff. I hope this helps feed the probiotics that I am consuming through food and through pills, but even if it doesn't, I am curious to try other flavors of this and I would totally get this same kind again as well. It is definitely soothing my throat when MCAS and GERD make my throat swell up. Also, you get a lot for what you pay for. This is a lot more worth it than a lot of the other inulin/chicory root products on Amazon. I tried one other thing but this was a much better value for the money. Thank you for this.

Reminds me of good ol coffee.. I drank instant coffee since I was about 5, I'm now 28 and for some reason I may have a health issue I need to get addressed but for the past 2 years I haven't been able to drink coffee without it making me feel over stimulated and out of breath and a bit dizzy. Since I cannot let go of my coffee I decided to look for a replacement, something that has a similar feeling on my palate as the real thing and I happen to search on Amazon and ran into Barlee instant chicory coffee w blueberry.. I decided to give it a try because I love trying new products especially if they have health perks, the blueberry I didn't care for, I was more interested in the chicory. I tried it the morning after I recieved it and let me tell you I will not be missing coffee! I think I will not be buying or going back to instant coffee and much less whole grain. I'm super excited and confident in my decision of replacing my morning,afternoon or winter coffee with Barlee.. I have yet to explore more coffee replacements but for now I'll for sure repurchase this product as long as it keeps me happy.. I hope I at least convinced you audience because I am not an expert at expressing myself. Indefinitely I will be recommending this to my parents, bros and sis.

I highly recommend it! A great coffee substitute, especially for those who can’t drink coffee. It has a pleasant taste and is healthy. I’ve already ordered it three times and will definitely order more.

Like many others on this product page I have GERD and was looking for a coffee alternative. I wanted something that would give me the same warm, rich and bold hit in the morning without the negative side effects so I came to this product.First off the value is incredible, you get two bags which could each make 100 cups of “coffee” so just with that it’s worth the try. It’s also got a good flavor, it mimics the bitter taste of coffee and has the bold and robust hit to it. Figuring out how much chicory to water is the key. If you only put a small amount you’ll get something more in line with a chai tea. If you put a good tablespoon you’ll get coffee, too much and it’s undrinkable.I still haven’t noticed a difference with my GERD but to be fair I am not drinking it “black” as I can’t quite handle the taste on its own so I’m adding cream and sweetener with the idea of weaning off it over time.So far I thinks it’s a fantastic option for those looking to quit coffee but get a similar experience.

I found that caffeine makes me subtly jittery. I recently went on Haylie Pomroy's Fast Metabolism Diet and had great results. One of the recommendations of that diet is to give up caffeine. After giving up caffeine the first time, I felt great, but I missed that robust morning cup of coffee and the herbal teas I was drinking to replace it were not giving me satisfaction. As a result, I eventually started drinking coffee again and after a year, I found my stress level had sky rocketed due in part to the caffeine I was drinking. So I set out to find a coffee substitute that would give me that robust morning flavor without breaking the bank. Barlee did the trick. It has become my new morning routine. No, its doesn't taste like a high-end caffeinated coffee brand, but if your goal is to sustainable kick the coffee habit and get rid of those caffeine jitters, this product is great!
