If your morning cup of coffee just doesn’t taste the same without caffeine or you want to reduce your consumption of this stimulating substance, there are a variety of alternative drinks which will give an energy boost without as many adverse side effects – and may even be healthier alternatives! In fact, some may even offer benefits greater than coffee!

One alternative to coffee is rooibos tea, which offers similar taste without the caffeine content. You can enjoy it either hot or iced and is full of antioxidants to support health while being low calorie (a grande iced caramel macchiato from Starbucks contains 95). Black tea offers another caffeine-free coffee replacement: its tannins may help lower blood pressure. In addition, its digestion-promoting qualities and abundance of iron and calcium content make it a good candidate. Kombucha, an ancient fermented beverage, offers another coffee alternative. Similar in taste but less sugar-intensive than coffee, kombucha offers various probiotics to support your health while being rich in acetic acid for reduced inflammation, fighting infections, balancing pH levels and strengthening immunity.

Wheatgrass juice offers an all-natural energy boost without caffeine or jitters, with high concentrations of chlorophyll to oxygenate blood and increase energy. Furthermore, this drink boasts plenty of vitamins and minerals like A, C, iron and calcium for maximum benefits.

There are also decaffeinated coffee beans, which are roasted and ground without the stimulant chemicals or gases found in regular coffee (about 100 milligrams per serving). While decaffeinated beans still contain some caffeine, its levels are lower compared to full cups.

Ginseng tea makes an excellent coffee alternative, thanks to its distinct flavor and ability to boost energy. Packed full of essential nutrients that support cognitive functioning and can even aid with weight loss, this drink also has many other health benefits including lowering cholesterol, fighting depression and anxiety and helping with weight management.

Teeccino, made of roasted chicory root, barley, carob and other naturally decaffeinated ingredients is another delightful wintertime beverage option! With its delicious nutty taste and variety of flavors ranging from hazelnut and chai to vanilla bean – not to mention helping clear sinuses and relieve congestion! Teeccino makes for the ideal cold weather drink!

Last but not least, there are coffee substitutes containing adaptogens and turmeric that contain herbs that help manage stress and reduce inflammation. You can find these in tea form or powder form to mix into coffee drinks; capsules are another convenient way to take them daily – online as well as local health food stores offer these.
