Is there any other morning drink that gives you the same amount of MENTAL energy as coffee does? I simply don’t seem to function properly without a cup of coffee in the morning... I get so dizzy!

It’s fake mental energy. If you slowly wean yourself off caffeine, you will think much more clearly. Do it slowly or you will get withdrawal headaches. I drink chicory as a coffee substitute. There are also plenty of fruit and herbal teas to choose from.

You may try tea or hot chocolate as well , But remember a drink is not able to give you sufficient mental energy. Try eating a full & great break fast plus a cup of hot coffee :)

This may mean you’re addicted to coffee. Try eliminating coffee altogether to see if you notice a difference. If you’re not ready for that, drink coffee without any sugar. That’s what I do, but I never have coffee early in the morning.

Yes there is , for me I drink tea he gives me the energy to exactly in the morning And you can try orange juice is a good drink in the morning

Tea is probably the best substitute for you! Start black, then gradually move to teas with less caffeine. This will help you get rid of your caffeine dependence! Eventually, you’ll be able to drink whatever you want without redeveloping a mild addiction to the caffeine (think of the dizziness as a minor withdrawal symptom). The best way to prepare for any day (difficult or easy!) is by resting assured that you are fully able to deal with that day, because you are!

OMG, totally! That’s such a great question. I’ve been drinking Teami Tea for years and every time I drink it I get alert, clear, happy, and full of energy. And best of all I don’t need any caffeine With it’s associated pick-me-ups and inevitable crashes. Remember to drink it first thing in the morning so you can sleep at night because it will give you energy and get rid of the slump. I do have a discount code if you want to use it. The discount code is Meeta and you can use it as many times as you want and share with anyone and they will also get a nice discount too! :) go to teamiblends.com and use the discount code Meeta at checkout; order the Skinny Tea or the detox package (its not just for healthy weight even though it will help you maintian that too) Hope this helps and you say goodbye to coffee as a dependent and only drink it now like I do...onlh when I choose to for taste!! :D

Tea! Hot tea! I love hot tea. Doesn’t have the same amount of caffeine. But it’s prob best that you take a break from caffeine for a month or so if your body is THAT dependent on it. Caffeine isn’t the best for you. It might not be fun, or easy but it’ll be worth it ! Also, cardio/exercise in the morning always gives me that mental and physical energy that caffeine would. Sounds crazy, but trust me. Also, maybe eat a healthy breakfast! That will get things started!

For me it’s usually my bowl of oatmeal porridge and Shea seed and even that I usually just workout in the morning to kickstart everything

Hi! I’m trying to cut down coffee too! So far a healthier alternative I’ve tried and works would be any fruite juice with lime in it because the sourness just wakes me up. Hope this helps!

Coffee is a psychological mental energy. While there are some physiological effects they dont amount to energy they amount to adrenaline. This means that the mental energy you felt was actually because you enjoy the drink not because of its chemical properties. Any pleasant tasting tea or coffee decaf or fruit juice you enjoy would give you the same pleasure and "boost" psychologicaly. Why not switch it out with something which boosts the immune system and hydrates you like lemon and ginger tea with honey.
