Meet Me + The Ritual

I’m Anna, and this is exactly how I ate and sipped my way through a season of resets. I used these smoothies plus one cup of coffee with Java Burn to lose 18 lbs in 9 weeks. My biggest non-scale win: steadier energy and far fewer afternoon crashes. I tested every recipe below in my own kitchen—nothing fancy, just real-life fast. Results vary.


Java Burn is a flavorless liquid that mixes instantly and is designed to be used with coffee. It comes in small bottles with a dropper—I add one serving to my morning cup while I blend breakfast. It doesn’t change my coffee’s taste and helps me feel organized and consistent. According to the brand, it may support metabolism/energy when used with coffee

Why This Combo Works (In Plain English)

  • Coffee’s natural caffeine + L-theanine (from tea) style calm-focus pairing is similar to the “alert but not jittery” feeling I aim for with a protein-rich breakfast.
  • Coffee contains chlorogenic acids, which are being studied for metabolic support (interesting, not magic).
  • Smoothies with protein + fiber + healthy fats help me feel satisfied and reduce snacky spirals.
  • Habit stacking makes consistency easier: I prep freezer packs once, then just blend and sip with my morning coffee.
  • Frozen fruit = fast nutrients; vegetables like spinach/cauliflower add volume for few calories.
  • Electrolytes (a pinch of salt), cinnamon, and cocoa add flavor without extra sugar.
