If you’re addicted to your daily cup of joe, then you’re well aware that you can’t just stop drinking it cold turkey. That would come with serious consequences: a gnarly headache, exhaustion, and maybe even flu-like muscle pain. But sometimes, particularly during the warmer months, we crave something fruitier and bubblier rather than a hot or iced coffee.
Enter, caffeinated coffee alternatives that won’t cause that oh-so-awful withdrawal. From green tea and powdered energy drink mixes to fruity juice blends, learn about our favorites, perfect for testing out this spring and summer.
