If you know me, you know I’m a big believer that life is better when well-caffeinated. Nothing makes me happier than a good old fashioned cup of coffee to start the day off right, but I’m definitely guilty of refilling that cup one too many times. So I’m here to provide you with some expert intel on fun new ways to get a little pick-me-up throughout the day, without the crash or lack of sleep too much coffee can cause! I’m all about feel-good energy, and these five options definitely don’t disappoint.
More Matcha. It took me a while to get on the matcha train, I’ll admit it. But there are so many benefits to drinking the green kool aid on this one – from boosting brain function to getting more vitamins and antioxidants and more. It’s a great alternative when I’m looking to mix it up, and I’ve also mastered an amazing at-home vanilla version that keeps me coming back for more! If you’re looking to level up your at-home latte game, their Starter Kit comes with a refillable tin, scooper, and frother, and if you’re a vanilla latte fanatic like me, their Vanilla Matcha Latte Kit has everything you need. The best part? If you use code SUNSHINE, you’ll get 20% off your order!
Energy as a Verb. Introducing a bite-sized energy bar that packs a punch – Verb bars are tiny, they’re tasty, and they’re energizing – perfect for before a workout or in between meals! They use green tea extract for a crash-free caffeine fix, and they’re GF AND vegan. My favorite flavor is the Vanilla Latte (and yes, I think it might actually be better than a real vanilla latte), but there’s plenty of other options too. You can also text them directly whenever you want a refill, which is perfect when you’re like me and power through an entire bag far too quickly. Not only that, but they always text back – usually featuring cute dog gifs. Again, what’s not to love?!
Java Jolt. I’m a huge smoothie drinker, and when my favorite drink can also provide a caffeine boost, I’m sold. Introducing Blender Bombs – these little balls of goodness come in many flavors, but my favorite is the Java, for obvious reasons. You can simply toss a ball in the blender with a bunch of your favorite ingredients and mix them all up. My favorite concoction that tastes uncannily like a chocolate milkshake typically features banana, vanilla protein powder, almond milk and one of these – it takes care of all the great tastes of almond butter, cinnamon, dates and more. You can use code SUNSHINE for 20% off some of your own!
Drink the Sunshine. Sunshine Beverages are my new obsession, and not just because they are so completely on-brand with everything I stand for – sunshine, happiness, and good vibes. I don’t know about you, but when 2pm rolls around every day, I hit a wall, and usually resort to pouring myself another unneeded cup of coffee. But no more! Now I’ve found a literal cup of sunshine that offers exactly what I need – it’s sweet, bubbly, light and caffeinated. These little cans are also extremely low-cal and packed full of vitamins – and did I mention they taste amazing?
A Sweet Treat. Technically this is still coffee, but in a smaller, even more enjoyable form – you can’t go wrong with a handful of chocolate covered coffee beans. Whether I’m craving a sweet treat or a little burst of energy, these are my go-to. You can find these little morsels of heaven in lots of places – including Trader Joes! Warning: these are highly addictive. Just one bite will change your life forever.
A Can of Kin. When a brand has a drink called Actual Sunshine, you know that I’m going to be a fan. This magical blend in particular has a light amount of caffeine, a bunch of adaptogens, nootropics and vitamins to help you feel like a million bucks, and tastes a little like you’re treating yourself to a morning mimosa. It’s the perfect pick-me-up for any time of the day, and also a great alternative to grabbing for alcohol when you’re out and about and ready for a lil’ taste of sunshine.
I highly recommend trying at least one of the above as a new way to stay fun, flirty and energized this year. With the right amount of caffeine, there’s nothing we can’t accomplish. Cheers! ☼
