Good, low-calorie coffee replacement?!


Question:

Good, low-calorie coffee replacement?

I hate the taste of coffee but I need something to really wake me up for my early classes...preferably good tasting and low calorie. Any recommendations?


Answers:
Try Morning Spark - individually sized packets of a caffeinated powder mix you add to bottled water. (The amount of caffeine in each packet is comparable to about 2 cups of coffee.) It's sugar free and comes in a variety of fruity flavors. You can get them at most grocery stores and Walmart in boxes of 10.

Personally I'm a big fan of sugar free Red Bull...but that stuff can get expensive.

Eat an apple every morning. I got an email saying it wakes you up more than coffee!

How about strong hot tea? Or iced tea?

Try some prune juice!

try some green tea or earl grey...earl grey will get you wired..umm i wouldnt recommend the prune juice..youre gonna be on the throne all morning long if you drink that stuff....

Tea, as long as you let it steep only up to 3 minutes. Theine differs from caffeine only in the structure of the molecule. If you allow the tea to steep longer than 3 minutes other chemicals start to dissolve as well, that will counteract the effect of the theine.
Any kind of diet cola - they all contain caffeine.

If you can afford it, you can as well go with one small glass of bubbly. Champagne in small doses has a similar effect as caffeine.
