We all know the struggle—that morning slump where hitting snooze seems infinitely more appealing than facing the day. But instead of reaching for a sugary soda or a coffee, why not try a delicious and healthy drink? Here are 3 ideas.
Citrus Splash with a Zing
Ditch the orange juice and opt for a homemade citrus drink. Squeeze fresh lemon or lime juice into a glass of water for a vitamin C boost that aids digestion and energizes the body. For an extra kick, add a grated nub of ginger for a touch of spice and anti-inflammatory benefits.
Berry Blast Smoothie Bowl
Combine your favorite frozen berries with a splash of almond milk or coconut water and blend until smooth. Pour the mixture into a bowl and top with a sprinkle of chia seeds, granola, and sliced banana. This protein and fiber-rich breakfast bowl will keep you feeling satisfied and energized for hours.
Matcha Magic
If you’re looking for a caffeine kick, consider matcha. This green tea powder is packed with antioxidants and L-theanine, an amino acid that promotes focus and relaxation. Whisk matcha powder with hot water or your favorite milk for a creamy and energizing beverage. Unlike coffee, matcha provides sustained energy without the jitters.
