5 Energizing Drinks Healthier Than Coffee

5 Energizing Drinks Healthier Than Coffee

Ahhhh, coffee … Java, go juice, liquid energy or rocket fuel. Whatever you choose to call it, coffee is America’s go-to drink of choice. In fact, Americans drink an average of 3.1 cups of coffee each day. That’s $40 billion spent by the U.S. alone on coffee each year.

The Good News

The good news? Some recent scientific studies suggest that consumption of caffeinated coffee in moderation may help to reduce some risks of diseases such as onset type 2 diabetes, heart disease, liver cancer, Parkinson’s and event gallstones.

The Not-So-Good News

However, not every aspect of regular coffee consumption is positive. Coffee has a tendency to carry with it a laundry list of unwanted extras (heavy creams, processed sugar, flavored syrups of all sorts) and is highly addictive, often forcing regular coffee drinkers into a habit that is difficult to break. No one likes those caffeine withdrawals …

Coffee also has a tendency to do a number on our mood. The “don’t talk to me until I’ve had my coffee” trope isn’t an overstatement.




The Crossroads

Maybe you’re thinking, “Coffee is my fuel. Without it I’m a zombie!” or “I’m always more productive when I have a little coffee kick” or possibly, “It just tastes good. There’s nothing like a mocha frappuccino on a hot day.”

Those are all fair statements. Many of us lead incredibly busy lives; we’re always on our toes, working hard and running on coffee to make things happen at home and at work.

But what if there was another way?

The Alternatives

Part of holistic health is understanding that life requires balance: that we keep ourselves free from restraints that hold us back or habits that keep us tied down when we don’t want to be. If you feel like you’re ready to try some other energizing drinks, check out the healthier coffee alternatives below.

1. Green Tea

5 Energizing Drinks Healthier Than Coffee

Green tea is one of those drinks that is super-packed with nutrients, antioxidants and digestive benefits. It’s just the right sort of drink to give you a boost without the unwanted coffee jitters.

2. Yerba Mate

5 Energizing Drinks Healthier Than Coffee

For those who can’t get their wheels turning without a cup of caffeine, yerba mate is a great choice. Made from the naturally caffeinated leaves from the South American holly tree, it’s known for its “pump up” abilities. Bonus: Tastes great hot or cold.

3. Pomegranate Juice

5 Energizing Drinks Healthier Than Coffee

Not kidding; this juice is full of energy boosters and antioxidants. Tastes great on its own or mixed with others.

4. Shizandra Tea

5 Energizing Drinks Healthier Than Coffee

If you’ve never tried shizandra, you’re in for a treat. Considered an easy swap for your daily java fix, shizandra is a berry tea that comes from East Asia. It also has some incredible health benefits: shizandra balances blood sugar, takes care of your liver and may even increase your memory.



5. Wheatgrass Juice

5 Energizing Drinks Healthier Than Coffee

There’s a reason wheatgrass makes its way into smoothies of all sorts. It’s packed with a laundry list of vitamins, minerals and nutrients that aid digestion and boosts energy.

Well, there you have it. You’re all set. No go on your non-coffee-addicted way.
