I gave up soda for over 7 years now. I drink: Water -sometimes with a piece of lemon or lime in it. and Lipton Decaf with a bag of Green Tea or Lemon Zinger thrown in. I have tried other black teas and always seem to come back to Lipton. If anyone has anything else I might like to try let me know. After all these years doing this I really like to drink water. I take it with me almost everywhere. I just purchased a new bottle to carry it in too by Nalgene it's pink and says Life Is Good with a big smile on it. I really liked the bottle I currently have it's green and has a gel around the outside, but on the inside...if that makes sense, and the top is black with a little spout in the middle that does not spill out. I wish I could have found another one of those. It was purchased at Wal a few years ago.
I drink Symfre tea. Hot and cold. 1st thing in the morning, I make 2 1/2 cups (I have a little teapot that holds that much). I drink a cup hot and the rest I drink cold. It helps my allergies, besides I really like the taste. I get this at my chiroprator or the health food store. It's about $11 per box (loose tea) and lasts me about a month or so.
coffee- every morning tea- a lot of tea- green tea, rooibos, black tea, white tea- i loove tea lots of water a diet soda if we go out to eat or we have company for dinner.
Sadly, I'm a Coke addict - Coca Cola that is. I drink Coke - I've been trying to limit it to about 20 oz a day. Water. I do drink a lot of water. I try to anyway. Gatorade. Fruit Punch flavored. I don't know what it is about it, I love it! I could ALMOST give up Coke and drink Gatorade! But...I need the caffiene! My husband likes iced tea - I home brew with 2 quarts water - 6 decaf black tea, 2 decaf green tea. I like my iced tea as Decaf Vanilla Peach - I use 3 French Vanilla, 3 peach, 2 decaf green tea bags to 2 quarts of boiling water. I let it steep until the water cools down. My husband hates this tea - he calls it girly tea! I also like Sangria - but can't drink that during the day! LOL. I've been known to make our Sangria recipe with grape juice instead of red wine so that I could drink it all day long! LOL
Green tea is my favorite drink in the morning. Sometimes I will drink coffee but have really cut back. A few years ago I was putting a pot away by myself. During the day we drink many different drinks; Lipton tea, soda, Crystal Light, lemon aid, juice. I guess it just depends on what we have. Water is a regular drink around here. We drink it throughout the day. I love to have a hot cup of tea before bed. Patty
I drink one can of diet pop at lunch, --- wich Eva usually sneaks some of before I finish. We drink iced tea for dinner and into the evening. I drink hot tea when its cold. but try to drink water or crystal light in the other times. I have a few blue cups that I use only for water so they dont pick up taste of anything else. i love ruby red grapefruit juice and drink it occasionally.
Water, ice tea, hot tea of almost any kind, cold green tea. I love milk and coffee but hardly drink either anymore.
I like coffee but about this time of year it gets boring and I usualy switch to something springy like iced tea , it does not matter to me if it is cafine or not, I am one of those people who relax from a nice warm cup of coffee in the evening? Something to do with my metabolism? I like smoothies, especially when its made with fresh juiced juice and ice and yogurt! YUM! I often drink water with a tiny bit of anything else in it, could be lemon, juice, cola, whatever! I like iced coffees, but mostly frapacinos spelled the wrong I know!
Iced tea!! And Dr pepper. LOTS of water. I prefer luzianne tea. We brew 2 big gallon pichers 2x a day and go through it like crazy. I need to get them weened off of the caffine so were going to try the decaf next time I buy it. We also LOVE Chocolate Coke. YUMMY!!! Angela
Angela, we go through 2 gal. of tea a day (Wal-Mart brand), too. I do use decaf though. If you need to wean yourselves from decaf, buy both and use half and half. If you use the small bags, use can gradually use less caffinated and more decaf. Keeps the caffeine headaches away.
My drink of choice is Amp, that energy drink made by Mountain Dew. It tastes kinda funky but gets me reeaaally wired for about an hour.
I have been trying to drink more water lately. I love Cranapple juice or really any kind of juice. I love hot cocoa too. And we drink about a gallon of milk a day!
Try doing half caf/half decaf for a few weeks, then do 3/4 to 1/4, then complete....the transition will make the taste difference more subtle. And, yes, there is a difference! LOL. My husband noticed at first....now he likes the decaf....
We use half decaf coffee here and taste no difference. Maxwell House and Folger's both make half decaf coffee. I try to get 64 oz of water every day and limit soda to one.
