Here are 3 products with little to no caffeine that still give a boost of energy. Stopping all caffeine consumption for about 1 week can allow your body’s “adenosine receptors” to reset and allow coffee and other caffeine to work much better!
1. Beetroot juice concentrate
Not just your average veggie. One of my favorite alternatives to coffee. Beetroot in a concentrated form can provide your cardiovascular system a source of nitric oxide allowing you to workout longer and improve muscle circulation. Add to your pre workout smoothies or just take it as a morning boost for your day.

2. Quality Beta Alanine + BCAAs
Beta Alanine is a modified amino acid shown to enhance performance and endurance. Take the recommended 3-6 grams of Beta Alanine for an added jumpstart to your workouts. Mix with some branch chain amino acids to enhance flavor for drinkability and intra workout amino acids. BCAAs are present in many sources of protein but great for timing around workouts when you are working out on an empty stomach. Side note a harmless side effect can be skin tingling/itching.

3. Green Tea
Now if you’re at the point of total caffeine dependence green tea might be a good start. There is a small amount of caffeine, approximately 25mg or half of a normal cup of coffee. Another great reason to switch to tea is the added polyphenols and clean energy.
