When you are looking for something that will give you that energy you need during the day, try an energy drink as opposed to caffeine drinks or coffee. Let’s talk about three energy drinks that are very well liked by the people who drink them.

You can find hundreds of these energy drinks available for purchase, but we are just going to talk about three of the ones that are the most popular with folks. For those times when you really need some energy, try one of these out.

The energy drink that puts me in fast mode is called Sugar free Monster energy drink. It can easily be identified because the can it comes in is blue. Perhaps there is something special in it or it’s because the amount you get is more than what is in other drinks; nevertheless, it works so well for me.

With this drink, you will not experience any “crashing” when you drink it since there isn’t any sugar in it. Another added bonus is the low amount of calories that are in it.

An energy drink that really has a lot of kick to it is the Arizona Extreme Energy Shot, which is in a smaller can that is 8.3 ounces I think. Now, it does taste somewhat different that what you might think it would, but, overall, I have to say it really isn’t bad.

In most stores, you can most likely find this drink for 99 cents. That’s a pretty good buy to get that pep you need for less than one dollar.

This article would not be complete if it didn’t talk about the most famous energy drink of all – Red Bull. This one was at the forefront of the energy drinks craze and is still going strong. Get it when you are looking for an energy drink that has more flavor to it.

The third one is not exactly what you would call a drink, but the results will be the same as the other energy drinks. Try the 5 hour energy shots and you won’t get that “crash” feeling like you would with most drinks. They have been said to be all natural, so try these when you would like to have something that is on the light side.

How Coffee Was Utilized Throughout The Ages

There is considerable argument as to how and when coffee was discovered. Many theories contradict and vary depending on who we talk to.

However, coffee is known to have been discovered by the west through the travels of European explorers and researchers. First noticed in Ethiopia on the African continent, farmers noticed their goats were grazing on coffee berries. The Ethiopians found out that by pounding the berry and mixing it with animal lard, they could turn them into moist little pellets.

This mixture of fat and coffee berries gave Ethiopians a portable and easy to make energy source. Most noticeably, soldiers would be issued these pellets to eat as energy supplements. In no time, these little pellets became a staple food. The cherries could also be eaten whole and had a good amount of caffeine.

There is also proof that these berries were used in the processing and manufacturing of wine. In addition, coffee was used as a food in Arabia, a region just the north and east of Ethiopia. They didn’t use coffee to drink until much later however.

The earliest versions of coffee for drinking were made from steeping raw coffee beans in cool water before fire roasting them. After they were softened and roasted, they would boil the hulls in water until a yellowish looking liquid would form. This was the first version of coffee.

By the 1000’s, coffee making still remained pretty much the same, involving soaking the coffee beans and hulls.

More advanced techniques did not appear until the 1400’s, when drying the beans before brewing was discovered. Beans were dried by laying them in the sun and let the rays do their job. The motivation behind this discovery was trying to find ways to store coffee beans better.

After that, they learned how to roast and smash them up into small granules and then mix with hot water. That is how brown and flavorful coffee was born. Now, in the 21st century, the same techniques make coffee what it is today. Not only that, but it is the most popular drink in the world, and its value as a trading commodity is second only to oil. What a long way away we are from eating slimy coffee balls.

Buy One Of These Energy Drinks Rather Than Coffee

Filed under: Coffee — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , — Adam Harvey @ 9:10 am

For me, every day must begin with a dose of caffeine usually in the form of a strong coffee. I just cannot function and my day will not go right without it.

It is very easy to become hooked on coffee; so many people rely on it heavily to get through their day. Once they realize that they are addicted, people will normally set off on the path of decaff-detox trying all other ways known to man that will give them a bit of an energy boost during the day.

It doesn’t really matter what the reasoning is behind wanting to give myself an energy boost, all that really matters for me is that I like it and that it works.

One thing that you can do is go the energy drink route. There are hundreds of different options for energy drinks, some of them more natural than others. There’s Red Bull, Monster, Rock Star, and a handful of other brands that you should find in just about every store.

Personally, I like the sugar free version of Monster. The size of the can is big enough to give me a serious kick, and the fact that it’s sugar free prevents any kind of a crash that one with sugar might give me.

Another way you can go is the energy shot approach. There’s the famous five hour energy shot, but newer products like a Red Bull energy shot have caught onto the craze. These don’t pack the calories that others do, but they’ll still give you a great kick.

If you like tea at all then wheat grass tea can give you a real boost even if it does take some getting used to, but it is perfect if you prefer the natural remedy to the chemical.

I’m sure all of these ideas will give you the motivation to give up coffee, and don’t forget after trying out a few, you can always go back on the coffee for a bit. As they say, once an addict, always an addict.
