Here are some yummy drinks besides your regular morning coffee that are healthy too.
Nutty Smoothies
Nuts, which are high in protein and fiber, make a healthy afternoon
snack, but they’re also nourishing whipped into a smoothie. According to
certified nutritionist Angela Pifer, smoothies made using ingredients
like cashew milk, protein powder, and nut butter help elevate your blood
sugar levels. Since
food gives us energy, it’s more of a problem with our blood sugar
dropping.
Licorice Tea

Even
if you didn’t like licorice candy as a child, you’ll appreciate the
benefits of sweet, spicy licorice tea. The bold-tasting brew is actually
caffeine-free, but supports overburdened adrenal glands, which are
organs that respond to stress. “Licorice is an adrenal tonic and
increases energy. It adds a pleasant taste to tea blends and can also be
taken in tincture form.


Pomegranate Juice
Sweet
and tangy, pure pomegranate juice is a delicious energy booster and
easily incorporated into other beverage recipes. Sip the juice on its
own, or blend it with other fruit juices or in a smoothie. “Pomegranate
juice is full of antioxidants and energizers. For a tasty
pick me up energy drink recipe try fusion pomegranate juice, soy milk, a banana, spirulina, berries, and yogurt.

I like to drink Yerba Matte tea, or green tea too. Yerba Matte actually has more caffeine than coffee, and green tea can give you that little pick-me-up without giving you the jitters! ^_^

true I hate getting the jitters from caffeine drinks…
I haven’t had green tea in awhile i was drinking a lot of it awhile back but it was causing me headaches.

wow.. i dont think i coudl ever give up my coffee.. some teas have just as much caffine as in coffee so you have to be carefull

 that is true it would be very hard to give up coffee, but good to know there are other options. ;)

do you really get jitters from coffee?
maybe just stick with vitamins which help with energy production.
 
-B12
-Green tea
-Magnesium, iron folic acid
-guarana, yerba mate, and kola nut
-Capsaicin (red pepper)-Asian Ginseng
 

 
i would stay away from processed energy drinks

I get the jitters when I drink too much of it. Green tea doesn’t do the same, but it also has less than 1/3 of the caffeine that coffee does. I do put a little milk and sugar in my coffee so I can stand the taste, so the sugar probably doesn’t help with the jitters.

nuwannee.. you dont like the taste of coffee??
 
Have you tried stevia… I love it.. you get use to the taste..

i like green tea it taste good.

 I would agree the energy drinks are bad for you, they end up making you feel sluggish during the middle of the day. I have started taking the B-12 it seems to be working great!

really?? what brand do you take and how many grams??
 
I buy mine from trader joes.. they dissolve in my mouth
