Alternatives To Coffee

Lots of people dislike coffee, and there are a variety of reasons for this; for some, they do not like the way coffee affects them; for others, coffee has more caffeine than they want; and of course, some people simply do not like the taste. If you are wanting to get a bit of an energy boost each day and are not necessarily wanting to drink coffee, it pays to be aware of some of the alternatives that are out there.

If the caffeine content in coffee is too high, and this is the reason you wish to avoid it, tea is a great alternative to try. For those afternoons when your friends are sitting around drinking coffee, tea is a great way to have a nice, hot drink with lower caffeine content. In fact, with tea, you even have the choice between green tea (which has less caffeine) and black tea (which has more caffeine) - each of which has significantly less caffeine than coffee.

If the reason you do not like coffee is because of the taste, rather than because of the caffeine content, energy drinks just might be the right choice for you. Red Bull is the most effective energy drink for most people, and if you do not want the sugar, you can even get sugar-free Red Bull. In fact, many find that sugar-free Red Bull even works better than regular Red Bull, as you get the energy without the "sugar crash" that can plague you with regular Red Bull.

And of course, if you want to avoid the sugar crash as well as the high caffeine content, try Five Hour Energy. Unlike Red Bull or even coffee, Five Hour Energy will not give you a sudden burst if you are on the verge of sleep. But Five Hour Energy will give you a fully-awake feeling much longer than you would usually have it, and it does so without making you feel like you have taken anything at all!

There are available alternatives to coffee for every different reason a person might have for not wanting to drink coffee. Try one of these three options if you have been wanting to stay away from coffee yourself, and you just might find that one of them is right for you!
