Which one do you guys drink?

AYung · 11-05-2005, 12:30 AM

We all have those day's were you wake up tired as hell. Just wondering what you guys drink for these occasions. Coffee? Green Tea? Which is better tasting to you?

**DJSTARER** · 11-05-2005, 12:36 AM

I make a shake immediately. I have a blender on my bed desk. 2 Bananas, 1 apple, 1 scoop of whey. That gives the energy I need to make myself a real breakfast.

**DarkFalcon** · 11-05-2005, 12:52 AM

I'm tired as hell most mornings but I don't care I just drink my OJ. I really don't like coffee that much but I LOVE my green tea so if I want something hot that's what I drink.

AYung · 11-05-2005, 02:34 AM

Oh I see.

I usually get under 7 hours a day on school days, but I'll correct that soon. So everyday when I woke up, it was extremely difficult to not press the snooze button.

I also make my green tea before I go to bed and drink it cold the next morning.

BBAddict · 11-05-2005, 02:37 AM

I don't drink any when I wake up but one of my favorite drinks, especially when cutting is a cold green tea.
1. Boil two cups of water and remove from microwave.
2. Add 4 green tea bags to boiling water.
3. Add any desired sweetener--I use 2T splenda
4. After sitting for 3-4minutes, remove tea bags and add 2cups or more of cold water depending on desired strength.
5. Chill and enjoy!

You boil the water in the microwave? I just stick to a kettle.

Your recipe sounds nice.

Yeah, I just use the microwave but anything will work. You may have to play with the Splenda depending on how sweet you want it. I don't like it overly sweet.

Milk

AYung · 11-05-2005, 06:56 AM

Yeah, well i'm sure we all get over a gallon a day of water. But does it "taste" better than coffee or tea to you?

I'm with you. I find milk to be incredibly refreshing. Skim, of course. It doesn't necessarily perk me up physically, but it gets my brain going.

AYung · 11-05-2005, 11:16 PM

Takes me a long time to drink really cold drinks, like milk. I think I have sensitive teeth.

**BigZeke** · 11-06-2005, 05:42 AM

Green Tea for now. One of these days I'll quit procrastinating and get Yerba Mate.

dnyc99 · 11-06-2005, 08:57 PM

Usually Green Tea or Earl Grey Tea

...mornings and during the day.

Somedays I switch to coffee in the mornings but, that's usually the only time I drink coffee. Unless I pass by a Dunkin' Donuts and get my usual medium toasted almond iced coffee w/ half&half.

**antihero** · 11-06-2005, 08:59 PM

im a big beleiver in the health benefits of green tea, and i drink it whenever i get a chance....i never drink coffee anymore.....and the only other think i drink in the morning is my protein shake...
