The only other situation where you can find major nutrition without calories is with spices—cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, ginger—also known as chai tea! Has all the tea of tea, but as a bonus, also contains the single most antioxidant-packed substances on the planet—like cloves and cinnamon.

If you want to add some unsweetened soy milk, some erythritol to sweeten it, a spoonful of cocoa powder to make it even more nutritious, and you will end up with a hot, velvety, sweet, spicy, chocolate drink. Hardly any calories, and can have three days’ worth of antioxidants per glass. It’s something I drink every day.

Doctor's Note

IMPORTANT NOTE: Though the observational data on erythritol does appear rife with reverse causation, a new study published interventional data in mice and in vitro on 2/27/23 that suggests erythritol may indeed be harmful, and so I urge everyone to stop consuming it until we know more.
