OK, quick, what is your favorite "pick me up" drink in the mid-day?


Recommended Posts

I am dragging!! I have cut back on coffee because of heart palpitations and tenderness of the... books... I only drink it in the morning and wont buy it while out and about (Starbucks) anymore or fix it mid-day.

 

I do not drink "diet" because I just can't put sugar substitutes in me...

 

I am feeling a little tempted by an ice cold soda... but, I cringe a little at the sugar content.

 

But, I have been working out 4 mornings a week, so I can ignore the sugar content one day, right??

 

What's your favorite?

 

Iced Tea?

Dr. Pepper?

Wild Cherry Pepsi?

Root Beer?

Ice cold "other" beer? LOL (I like a very cold Pacifico with Mexican food...mmm)

Homemade coconut milk kefir with a "blended berry ice cube" and 5 drops of stevia liquid.

 

Drink sugar if you like BUT NOT SODA!! Soda is so bad for you in so many ways - not the least is the high fructose corn syrup. Make some home-made lemonade or limeade, or gingerbeer, or flavored tea with plain old sugar. (soda is yucky...repeat this over and over until you believe it. :D)

I am allergic to chai tee... drats...

 

I am allergic to carrots, too, but I used to juice them!

 

I don't like soda... I always tell myself it is yucky. I've never liked it much...

If I have to get a fast food, I will get bottled water before I'd get a soda.

 

I DO like tea's though... I'm going to have to get up a collection of teas, particularly with winter on it's way... that may do it!

No!

 

For me, it depends on what time it is. If it's before 3p, then it's green tea with lemon in a coffee mug. If it's after 3pm, it's about 2 inches of red wine in a coffee mug. Both seem to do the trick for me.

Oh, Laura, You're such a meanie!! But, I'll thank you later, right?

 

Guess I'll get a glass of water for now... wont be much of a "pick-me-up" but I am excited to have fresh bread, garlic and dipping oil/balsamic vinegar... I just need to get excited about something, right? Then the energy will follow, right?
