I worked at Starbucks when I was 16 up until I was 18. Two years of making drinks and I still couldn't find a coffee drink that I actually liked. I love refreshers and teas and now that I have a toddler, caffeine is my best friend! I drink energy drinks, but sometimes I need something else to perk me up.The energy drink recommendations are some that I constantly have in my mini-fridge. Flrt is a new favorite of mine. They aren't too sweet, but they aren't oddly bitter like some energy drinks I have tried. Some are cleaner than others, I drink a ton of water throughout the day too!Non-energy drink recommendations are mainly teas/derived from tea or functional sodas. Starbucks refreshers that you can make at home have been a game changer for me. I save money and can make my drink exactly how I like it. Coconut milk, lemonade, water, sparkling water. So many different uses for it. I also love matcha lattes and london fog lattes.
