ALTERNATIVES TO COFFEE TO START YOUR DAY …

1. Music

Music can help you get in a good mood in the morning.

2. Drink Water

Drink a glass of cold water or two first thing in the morning. Besides the icy feeling enlivening your senses, we all wake up dehydrated according to Susan Kleiner, a dietitian and author of “The Good Mood Diet”.  All of our thinking and metabolic processes depend on us having water, so get hydrated and feel more awake sooner. Try Natural Fruity Flavored Drinks ! 

3. Wash Your Face

 

Get in the bathroom and use cold water and a scented soap or essential oil like mint or lavender to wake yourself up. Mints and lavenders awaken your senses and the cold water can help you get the sleep off your face — making you feel more ready for your day.

4. Go Outside.

This may seem impractical, but go outside first thing in the morning. A breath of fresh air will make you feel more awake and ready for your day .

5. Eat.

Eat a good breakfast, like oatmeal or bacon and eggs. Something that your body can really work on and that will give you lasting energy. Eat a good breakfast and be ready for whatever the day throws at you.

6. Drink a Smoothie

A healthy, green smoothie gives you a boost first thing in the morning. Try this recipe:

• 1 1/4 cups orange juice, preferably calcium-fortified
• 1 banana
• 1 1/4 cups frozen berries, such as raspberries, blackberries, blueberries and/or strawberries
• 1/2 cup low-fat silken tofu, or low-fat plain yogurt
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• Handful chopped kale or spinach

This smoothie tastes great and gives you the vitamins and minerals you need to be on point for your day.
