A lot of us drink either coffee or tea in the morning. Maybe our bodies need a little caffeine to jumpstart our day. But what if you don't have coffee or tea? Or your are not a coffee or tea drinker? What is your beverage or drink in the morning?

If it's not coffee or tea, I'll drink water. Because water not only occupy an important position but also make up more than 75% of the body. Water is necessary in the life.

Wow! That's the first time I encountered a whole family not taking tea or coffee. It's really shocking...I wonder how your family initiated that thing. But that's really a good thing, you can be spared from lots of health problems caused by tea and coffee.

If I do not take coffee/tea, I would go for the raw material - milk. always (ye)S for T(ea).

I have a smoothy first thing in the morning, or some water. Coffee and tea I have later on during the day - if I have some that day.

No with berries. A mix. I add grapejuice, proteinpowder (or an egg), cinnamon, flax seeds and cocnut oil. Its good

I can't start the day without my coffee. But for the past 3 days I've been drinking PRUNE Juice as soon as I wake up. An article from the internet says it's to wash out toxins from the body. BTW, thanks for introducing yourself to me earlier. It's my first time at myLot. And when you asked me to be your friend, I felt wonderful. I feel at home already. :)

Of course! Mylot is a friendly place and you can find lots of friends here . Yes, prune juice contains lots of fibers that cleanse our digestive system from toxins. BTW, how much prune juice should I take every morning?
• Philippines

16 ounces of prune juice. I am trying to complete a 3 day cleansing diet, but I'm really not successful. You can read the article here - http://www.herballegacy.com/Three_Day_Cleanse.html.

I like my coffee of a morning, but lately I hate switched to decaff coffee and I can't taste the difference, my nurse suggested I cut down on the caffeine as too much is not good for the body. I do like a nice mug of hot chocolate which I have before bed and it relaxes me. I love hot chocolate that is my favourite, nice and sweet so you don't need sugar with it, gives a good sugar and chocolate fix too!

I used to drink hot chocolate a lot before but now, I'm trying to cut down on it because it is too fattening. I want to lose some weight .

if it is not coffee or tea.. milk or plain water. I used to love drinking juices.. but i have read that sometimes no matter how much we watch what we eat.. we cant lose weight because of the calories of what we drink. so i have minimized on juices and have turned to plain water altogether.
@heart143 (1202)

That's what I did too. I switched to water because it's healthier. I'm trying to lose my weight now and it's kinda working.

i do drink tea once in a while, or perhaps hot chocolate during the winter at least (i am in canada) but more often than not, i drink fruit juice such as cranberry (my favourite!) grape, peach or even prune juice sometimes!
@heart143 (1202)

Wow! All are very healthy drinks except for the hot chocolate which is a little fattening. I like cranberry juice also but it's a bit expensive here in our country.

Although I must have my morning coffee it's not the first drink of my morning. When I get up I always make myself a fruit smoothie, consisting of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries and blended with some ground nut mix. I find that this always gives me the kickstart I need in the morning. A couple of hours later I will have my morning coffee.

I think I like your smoothie, I like all the fruits you put in it. I wish I can have a taste of that but berries are not always available here in out place.

Wow, Everybody is way more health minded than I am....I have been drinking at least 2 MT Dews every morning for the past 20 years. Thats what picks me up and gets me going. I will probably hear some health risks, and info on that I am sure, but it works for me.

When I'm really tired and needs extra boost, I drink any cola to start my day. I think it's the sugar that gives the extra energy to keep me going. But I cannot do that everyday. Well, each of us has his own thing...if that works well with you, that's great.

I generally will drink water in the morning - to awaken and refresh me... occasionally I will have some sort of fruit juice, I especially like ruby red grapefruit juice.
@heart143 (1202)

Oh, I like fresh grapefruit juice also. But I can only have it once in a while because it is very seldom available here.

You really are very fond of sweet beverages . When I was younger I use to do that too, but now I'm more choosy in what I take.

I usually try to drink a glass of water with an effervescent Vitamin C in it. And then I just have to go for the coffee. I used to drink herbal teas a lot but I just found I need that extra 'umph' to get me up and about in the morning....
