Is there anyone like me—— The moment I open my eyes, I crave a refreshing iced Americano. One sip and I’m instantly awake, ready to start a brand new day?☕❄️ That pure feeling of alertness is just amazing, but going straight to it on an empty stomach can easily upset the stomach. Below are the simplest and most effective ways to protect your stomach, allowing you to maintain that empty feeling while also making your stomach feel great.

Option 1: A Small Amount of Nuts Method (Highly Recommended, Almost Preserves the Empty Feeling)🥜

  • Eat 5–8 pieces of any nuts (almonds, walnuts, cashews, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, peanuts, etc.) after getting up
  • Chew slowly, wait 1–3 minutes (just enough time to brush your teeth and wash your face) before drinking coffee
  • Healthy fats create a quick protective layer, with only 30–40 kcal, preserving 99% of the empty feeling.

Option 2: 5ml MCT Oil or Coconut Oil (A Savior for Those Who Don’t Chew)

  • Swallow a small spoonful directly, or mix it into your coffee
  • Waiting 1–2 minutes is more reliable

Option 3: 1–2 Pieces of Unsweetened Soda Crackers (Emergency)

  • Eat and wait about 1 minute before continuing

Option 4: Directly Drink Cold Brew (Reduces Acidity from the Source)

  • Acidity is 40–60% lower than hot brews, texture is smooth
  • Recommended beans: medium-light roasted from Brazil, Colombia, Guatemala

The Golden Combination Worth Trying First: A Small Amount of Nuts + Cold Brew ☕🥜❄️

Get up → Chew 5–8 nuts → Wash up for 1–3 minutes → Pour a cup of pre-made cold brew The acidity is almost zero, the stomach feels great, and the sense of ritual for being on an empty stomach is fulfilled, all done in under 30 seconds. 90% of those who have tried it say: this is the true “first cup of good morning”.

For friends who love iced Americanos right when they wake up, hurry and try this combination! Once you find what feels best for you, feel free to come back and tell me!
