When on Whole30 you crave flavor that isn’t from eggs and Whole30 flavored coffee is a tasty way to bring flavor back and curb cupcake cravings. After researching Whole30 flavored coffee there were a lot of coffees with added artificial flavors and sweeteners or they were already pre-ground which loses so much of the coffee flavor. It was a long adventure to find compliant flavored coffee.
Then I discovered Lifeboost coffee which uses natural flavors, and it tastes very rich and full. The coffee flavor is the strongest flavor with flavors of chocolate and peanut butter or fluffy coconut filling up your nostrils and mouth with very real tasting ingredients. They get the flavors without sugar but instead infuse the coffee with natural oils. I was also having loads of acid hurting my stomach from drinking coffee (yay hitting 30 years of age) and Lifeboost is meant to help with stomach acid. I didn’t really believe it because my pain was getting so bad from drinking coffee, but after trying it I’ve been drinking coffee every day with no side effects but for a small crash around nine. I’ve since started drinking chamomile tea around six and it calms my body to where there is no crash! Herbs for the tummy wins. Before I tell you about Lifeboost Coffee here is how to flavor coffee yourself like an empowered flavor goddess or man or both.

What is Whole30?
Whole 30 is a reset where you eliminate common foods that people have allergies or bodily issues with. I love that this approach allows an individual opportunity to discover what works for you. No two bodies are the same. I have an identical twin and even we have different food preferences and troubles.
On Whole 30 you eliminate certain foods for 30 days and replace them with whole foods. Love how it’s all in the name. After 30 days you reintroduce the foods you eliminated one by one and see how you feel. Then you pause for two days and go back on Whole 30 and repeat. A Whole 30 can be a Whole 60 when it comes to re-introduction. Read more about my tips after finishing five rounds in this article: My Top 12 Whole 30 Tips for Surviving and Thriving.
What Makes Coffee Whole30 Compliant or Not?
Coffee and tea are naturally compliant while coffee with any artificial flavorings or added sweetener (even honey or maple syrup) is not compliant. When it comes to flavoring your coffee use creamers that also have no added sweetener. I like to use macadamia creamer or ghee which I’ll tell you more about at the end of the post 🙂
How to Flavor Your Own Coffee
If you already have beans you love then instead of searching for compliant coffee you can add flavors of chocolate, vanilla, or even lavender to your coffee.
How to Add FLAVORs To Your Coffee!
You can easily add compliant flavors to your coffee for your own twist on Whole30 flavored coffee! This is how flavored coffee you see at stores do it, by adding spices or natural flavors. Just add the spice to your grounds then brew it like normal. Some great options:
- Vanilla Bean Powder
- Cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon per 1/2 cup of grounds
- Nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp per 1/2 cup ground
- You can also grate a touch of fresh nutmeg over your drinks for an extra fall flavor. Start with just a little as it is intense
- Pumpkin Spice
- 1/2 tsp per 1/2 cup grounds
- Raw Cacao
- 1 tsp per 1/2 cup of grounds
- Lavender
- 1/8 tsp per 1/2 cup of grounds (for a subtle flavor, try 1/4 a teaspoon if you like strong floral flavors)
Infuse Cold Brew Coffee
Check out our cold brew coffee tutorial so you can make your own and use it for days with the concentrate.
Cold brew coffee is convenient and delicious. It packs more of a caffeinated wave and also lasts longer. The coffee flavor is smoother and stronger because the beans weren’t touched by hot water. You can make cold brew coffee concentrate by doubling the recipe and using it multiple times throughout the week.
Add flavors above to cold-brew coffee for your own Whole30 flavored coffee just as you would to hot brewed coffee. With cold brew you can find even more flavor comes out since none of it is overheated and the flavors have longer to steep into the water.
Flavor Your Coffee with a Smoothie
You can freeze the cold-brew coffee cubes and make a smoothie like my hangover smoothie. The smoothie is also delicious when you aren’t hungover. Use coconut cream and don’t add any sweetener to keep it Whole30. You can use the coffee cubes just like you would use ice in a smoothie too. When it comes to Whole30 flavored coffee this could be a stretch and for some might be SWPO so decide for yourself if smoothies are a trigger or not.
Lifeboost Flavored Coffee Taste Test Video
This is not a paid post but now that I love Lifeboost Coffee, and after tasting it and feeling it for myself so I’m not telling you about something I don’t personally trust, I applied for their affiliate program and got in! I’m super excited about the partnership and assure you all comments about the coffee are my own. I’m one of those coffee snobs (which really needs to be rephrased because I just know what I like now and once I went full delicious I’m not going back). Also, I had my husband taste it with me to avoid bias and we’re both autistic which gives us that super honest and blunt gene. Not great as a child but I love it now.
When it comes to Whole30 flavored coffee it was difficult to find coffee that had no added sweetener (even stevia) and used no artificial flavors. Not only does Lifeboost use no artificial flavors but they’re dedicated to quality, sustainable coffee that invokes memory and incredibly tasty coffee.

Lifeboost Whole30 Flavored Coffee Review with 3 Categories
The flavor extracts and essential oils used to favor their beans have 0 calories and 0 grams of sugar!
What we loved overall about each of the coffee flavors was the flavor of smooth, rich coffee being the main flavor while you could still taste the added flavors. Everything felt very real and delicious without any hint of artificial additives. This coffee is made with so much love you can feel it in each sip.
We ranked Lifeboost Flavored Coffee in these three categories.
- How much does the coffee taste like the flavor?
- Basically, if the coffee says it’s chocolate peanut butter does it taste like chocolate peanut butter.
- Daily drinking.
- Which coffee would you want to drink every day?
- Favorite coffee.
- This does not have to be a coffee you would drink every day, it might be a coffee that you drink once and it’s the best experience of your flavor life but you don’t crave it every morning.
Category 1: True to the Flavor
- Chocolate Peanut Butter – seriously tastes like a peanut butter cup.
- Birthday Batter – tastes like a birthday cake loaded with sprinkles and icing.
- Smoky Butterscotch– has a slightly smoky flavor and tastes like gently burnt caramel.
- Cinnamon Blueberry Crumble – so much blueberry flavor!! not as much cinnamon flavor though.
- The White Russian – has a strong Kahlua flavor that’s rich and deep.
- Irish Cream – tastes like super fluffy coconut, which was not expected tbh.
Category 2: Daily Drinking
- Smoky Butterscotch – smooth flavors of smoke and sweetness makes it blends well with cream.
- Irish Cream – for a coconut burst to start the day.
- Chocolate Peanut Butter
- Birthday Batter (for Aun, for me I want to save it for birthday times)
- The White Russian
- Cinnamon Blueberry – who doesn’t want to start the day with a blueberry muffin in the form of coffee?
Category 3: Favorite Coffee
In this category Aun and I had differences, but ultimately agreed they were all so delicious it was hard to choose anyways.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Coffee
This is the coffee flavor I was most skeptical of. Can you really get the flavors of chocolate and peanut butter with no sugar or artificial flavors? Bliss yes, you can and this bag proves it. I immediately felt like I was drinking a Reese’s peanut butter cup, in a good way.
Birthday Batter
The other mind rainbowing flavor was the birthday batter. This was a mind trip because it felt like I was tasting icing of the queen’s quality dripping from a cake but then the flavor of coffee came through. It was amazing and if I’m ever avoiding sugar on my birthday I’m asking for this coffee, or a cake of this coffee with some coconut sugar, either way. To taste icing with nothing fake at the end is scientific levels of magic and I am forever impressed from this coffee.
Irish Cream
Imagine eating fluffy coconut with the smells wafting into your nose and coconutifying all of your senses. Irish cream has a beautiful coconut flavor with a rich coffee background layer. It’s a flavor you have to let your mouth discover.
Smoky Butterscotch
Remember going to grandma’s house and sticking your hands into sticky toffee? She tells you it’s burnt caramel and you have this ick feeling cross your mind that there’s no way burnt anything tastes good. Then you go for it because bliss it you’re a kid and the flavor of burnt butter melted into sugar and turned into this sticky heaven fills your mouth. That’s what smoky butterscotch took me back to.
The White Russian took us a while to figure out. The flavor was bold and strong but we expected the creaminess of the alcoholic drink we loved so much. Then we realized it was the Kahlua that speaks to the tongue in this blend. The Kahlua flavor is bold, delicious and reminds me of sitting in a cigar lounge with the dude for hours.
Cinnamon blueberry crumble reminds me of blueberry muffins with blueberries just picked from the field bursting into your mouth. While this is one of my favorite flavors it was Aun’s least favorite. Any blueberry flavor they taste that isn’t blueberry tastes weird to them so this blend was bound to create a divide in our coffee life.
If you love blueberry flavor, not medicine but legit blueberry flavor, then this coffee will accentuate that love. If you are not a fan then pass this one up and get the peanut butter chocolate one instead. That’s an everyone favorite.
