When it is time for a coffee or tea break, do you have just the beverage, or something along with it like cookies or a sandwich? They say drinking and eating together is not good for one's health but the only liquid I drink without an accompanying food item would be water. Even soup - I would have with rolls or crackers. Right now it is raining heavily and I am about to take a tea break , this time it will be tea and cookies. Sometimes I have crackers and cheese, a peanut butter sandwich, or pastry. What do you have with yours? Or is it usually just the tea or coffee?

Sounds excellent. I usually just opt for the tea or coffee and maybe some fruit.

I guess I eat "whatever" for a snack - but usually it is with water. This morning we are having coffee and pastry - but that's for breakfast .

@Kandae11 I just snack throughout - I don't take any official breaks (but I'm a stay at home mom - the kitchen is just right there ). I do have my green tea in the mornings during the weekdays - and then some raw dandelion greens . . . not sure if that's really breakfast of a sort of snack before I find the next thing .

I do not drink sodas or boxed juices - so after breakfast I might have a cup of tea twice during the course of the day with a small snack. And water of course.

@much2say I work from home - and sometimes I get so caught up with my work I neglect to prepare lunch or dinner - then I might have a cup of tea and a snack.

I like hot tea or coffee with something sweet like a cookie or a piece of chocolate.

@Marty1 Sleepytime is my favorite - but it never makes me sleepy - which is good.

@Marty1 I find only one sleepytime flavor in the variety box of Celestial Seasonings teas. I haven't had them for awhile, so I don't know if additional flavors have been added.

I think I’m too young to remember the concept of a “coffee break” at work. I’ve always worked in offices where we could have beverages at our desks, so it was (and still is) tea, tea, tea, from the time I arrive until the time I leave. When it’s cold I drink herbal/decaffeinated tea after dinner. I don’t drink hot tea with a meal, though. And I never drink coffee. There’s only so much in the world, and I have to make sure JJ has enough.

No, I have never fancied hot liquids with any other meal but breakfast. My coffee is usually decaf. I also like ovaltine, milo , bournvita and herbal teas.

@Kandae11 my jaw is disintegrating slowly and I have TMJ. The doctor doesn't want me to chew anything. It is very painful to move my jaw. They are hoping to avoid surgery.
