Healthy Energy Drink Alternatives for Quick Energy That Lasts

America is in the midst of an energy crisis and every grocery or convenience store is packed with all types and sizes of “energy” drinks. People are drinking more energy drinks than ever but are still left feeling lethargic despite constantly taking stimulants to keep them going. This is an unhealthy trend and more people are seeking healthy alternatives to energy drinks in order to provide themselves with longer lasting energy.

The sugar or caffeine rush most people experience when consuming these drinks, for quick energy, comes with a lot of empty calories. Caffeine is a stimulant that does provide a temporary energy boost but when it leaves a person's system it leads to crashes. This leaves people feeling more fatigued, results in sleep deprivation, and ultimately starts a cycle of dependency on these stimulants. People who reach for caffeine and energy drinks should consider breaking their habit and try some energy drink alternatives to help them achieve all-day energy.

The most recommended alternative to energy drinks are green smoothies. Drinking fruit and vegetable juices can help the body boost its absorption of nutrients thus leading to a natural energy boost. Often referred to as superfood cocktails these drinks are easy to make, can complement any meal, or can be taken anytime a person needs quick energy. People can make their own or can find a supplement that will provide them with all their daily vitamins and vital nutrition.
