Dr. Runyan’s Brew: A Caffeine Alternative for the Mormon Community

There are many people who cannot drink coffee for medical reasons, but there are likely as many, if not more, like individuals in the Mormon community, who must seek caffeine alternatives for religious reasons.  Read on to learn about a caffeine alternative that you can enjoy without worry.

The Word of Wisdom outlaws hot drinks like coffee and tea, and for many in the Mormon community who strictly follow the rules of their faith, this means that a hot cup of coffee in the morning is out of the question. If you’re searching for a healthy and coffee-free drink that you can drink hot or cold, then Dr. Runyan’s Brew might be just what you’re looking for.

What Makes Dr. Runyan’s Brew Okay?
Created by Dr. Todd Runyan, this caffeine alternative is low in calories and contains no coffee, sodium or tea. Because there is no caffeine and there are no potentially addictive substances to ingest, you won’t have to worry about going against the Mormon community’s Word of Wisdom if you pour a serving of Dr. Runyan’s Brew into a mug of hot water, warm milk, cream or even a milkshake.

In 2012, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints clarified a question that raged for decades –whether or not the church outlawed caffeine specifically. An announcement from the Church explained that the rules for health practices didn’t explicitly ban caffeine, but they do prohibit coffee or tea.

For many in the Mormon community, avoidance of coffee and tea is about more than just the Words of Wisdom. Some choose to use coffee alternatives in order to avoid the possibility of becoming dependent on daily use of caffeine as sometimes happens with coffee.

What’s in This Caffeine Alternative?
Dr. Runyan’s Brew is available in two flavors: French Vanilla Concentrate or Roasted Flavor Concentrate.  With this concentrate, you may get an energy boost from the all natural ingredients and you won’t have to worry about taking any unnatural substances. Each serving contains five calories and one gram of carbohydrates. The concentrate is made of water, malt extract and natural flavors.

If you’re looking for an all-natural beverage that has the ability to wake and warm your body without caffeine, Dr. Runyan’s Brew is the perfect alternative. It’s reminiscent of the doctor’s favorite breakfast prepared by his grandfather – a drink that included roasted barley, cocoa and cinnamon as a few primary ingredients.  He was able to recreate the drink and has marketed it as Dr. Runyan’s Brew.
