Skip the Coffee and Sip On These Natural Energy Boosters

Dec 15 2015 - 3:15am

Feel like you can't shake your morning latte habit? Try swapping out your daily coffee with one of these energizing smoothies and juices. They are all jam-packed with nutrients that help you detox and reenergize without the java dependency.

Apple Lemon Ginger Juice

Wake up your senses with this spicy apple lemon ginger juice [1]. It's also high in liver-cleansing vitamins A, B, and C, which makes it a great way to reset your body if you had an extraindulgent evening the night before.

Apple Cider Vinegar

This tart cranberry juice and apple cider vinegar "shot" [2] is full of detoxifying nutrients to help wake you up. It's a favorite pre-workout drink of actress Nikki Reed [3], who adds B12 to it for even more energy.

Green Tea Smoothie

Getting caffeine withdrawals? Sip on this frosty green tea, cinnamon, and honey smoothie [4]. It has much less caffeine than a cup of coffee but will still give you the jolt you need.

Beet Celery Lemon Juice

Studies have shown that beet juice increases stamina and energy levels [5], which is why some runners drink it before a race. If you're just trying to get through your day, not a marathon, this beet, apple, celery, and lemon juice [6] will give you a jump start.

Low-Sugar Green Juice

Start your weekend on a high note; this low-sugar, high-nutrient green juice recipe is a healthy alternative to that latte. And it's also energizing — with B vitamins and chlorophyll, this cucumber, spinach, celery, and parsley juice [7] can help you tackle the morning.
