Non- Coffee Drinkers

Where do you get your energy in the morning? I've really been struggling this week and need something

BrandiLaw87 · January 2016

Green tea and oatmeal

Full disclosure, I love coffee but I also love tea haha

mill1020 · January 2016

I used to drink one soda per day but quit cold turkey a few months ago. Haven't found anything that helps tiredness in the morning other than opportunistic napping (as soon as #4 and #5 take an afternoon nap, I lay down too).

Vitamin B...big time!

Growingapepper · January 2016

Healthy diet, 3 meals a day and small snacks. LOTS of water.

chelseajeanene · January 2016

I do take a daily vitamin plus vitamin D and an iron supplement but I definitely need to eat better. I'm so tired and focused on feeding the baby that I didn't even get myself a drink until 4 this afternoon and I haven't eaten anything besides a packaged breakfast biscuit. It's so hard to make sure I eat 3 meals and snacks

Are you not drinking coffee bc of the caffeine?

alexfraser · January 2016

I'm allergic to caffeine and struggle in the mornings.
I find that a quick shower helps me wake up and also eating a decent breakfast. I have been craving anything sweet (due to lack of sleep I'm presuming) and could inhale a whole block of chocolate quite happily so have been eating lots of fruit as snacks throughout the day to dull down the need for sugar!

chelseajeanene · January 2016

@Bognes I'm just not a coffee drinker. I don't like the taste or the smell. I wish I did lol

B vitamins boost energy for sure. Eating on the glycemic index helps. I drink coffee but sometimes a glass of cold water, a banana and a multivitamin does the trick.

Bognes · January 2016

There are lots of flavored teas that have caffeine. Iced tea too. Coconut water has a lot of potassium.

Advocare Spark, it's tasty and def helps on the days when I am dragging. I usually have it before I work out before work and it lasts me til lunch. $50 a canister and there's about 42 servings.

Have you tried a chai tea latte? We cut out dairy and a lot of sweeteners as a part of our diet revival and I had to give up my coffee creamer. I haven't completely given up coffee, but have a coconut milk chai tea as well and it saves my morning at work. Starbucks offers coconut milk too so it's a nice treat if I'm out and about. Tazo and Oregon Chai are my favorite mixes at the store.

JenLovesDesign · January 2016

I know it's horrible, and I'm basically embarrassed to admit it, but I drink diet Mountain Dew. Most sodas have too much carbonation for me, I also drink some amazing full leaf green tea. There's also a really good berry tea from Tazo. I'm a little bit of a tea addict, but in the morning, it's a green smoothie, then Mountain Dew.

Omg yes! Tazo and Starbucks Oprah vanilla chai latte's are my favorite thing ever. I haven't found a box of Tazo's vanilla chai tea bags or k-cups anywhere. Tazo sells the the tea concentrate that you mix with milk, but the one store I knew that sold it no longer does! That's what I did when I was working out of the house. I definitely need to find it again

Dr. Pepper. Seriously, its awful but I need the caffeine and I hate the taste of coffee or tea.

LoveLee85 · January 2016

I love coffee and tea. I didn't drink soda very often because of bloat and sugar, but when I do it's a fountain cherry Coke. YUMMY!

Ugh, that used to be my favorite! Must stay on the wagon....

goatgettingmarried · January 2016

Black tea, diet coke, and (though I'm ashamed) red bull. A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.

Yes you do! I just bought another box today after work so I could have a nice warm cup tonight. You could always order it off Amazon!

I like coffee but I also do tea and Chai tea is sooo good. The tazo concentrate is awesome mixed with some skim milk. Most grocery stores carry it, look in the coffee aisle it's in a box the size of chicken stock lol

That's what I was using but I can't find it anywhere anymore!!

5 hr energy it's mostly vitamins

myfingerhurts · January 2016

I can't drink caffeine due to anxiey/panic (giant sad face) and I've found that 6 oz of juice in the morning really wakes me up. I've also read that apples are really good as well.

PinkPrincessPiper · January 2016

I'm truly amazed at mommies that make it without caffeine! By the 3rd kid, coffee is basically for survival.

chelseajeanene · January 2016

@PinkPrincessPiper I'm barely surviving!

jlemons-2 · January 2016

I used to have a pretty big energy drink addiction

imsoexcited915 · January 2016

I'm not a coffee drinker. I never have been. I fill my Vera Bradley tumbler with cold water throughout the day and that seems to satisfy me as boring as it is. I find once I really cut down my carb intake I have a lot more energy. Not to say I'm not tired, but not as tired if that makes any sense.

kimjoshjake · January 2016

I heard that an apple first thing in the morning does the same effect as a coffee. I didn't try it cuz I love coffee too much but if I couldn't have my coffee I would definitely try that before any pop (soda) or redbull (any of those energy drink)

chelseajeanene · January 2016

I'm going to order my tea online I guess. I'm not a carbonated drink fan and only crave soda while on my period. Mountain Dew is just delicious haha
