Morning Drink?

[SpAmRaY]

Do you have a morning drink?

Currently I'm squeezing the juice of one lemon into a cup and adding water, it is very filling, tasty and it hypes me up, it also takes me longer to drink it versus a soda pop.

[Puddsy]

Orange juice usually. Sometimes some black tea if I need a boost.

[Lurch]

I usually just drink water. This lemon water you speak of sounds enticing.

[tp4tissue]

This was when I kinda knew I had a problem...  when I started drinking in the morning..

[R1N3]

Obligatory coffee post.

I was bout that lemon water life for a while. I'd bite it into it after I squeezed the juice out.
For max hype and a chance to go Super Saiyan mix with a completely cold shower.

Coffee. No creamer, no sugar. Just black coffee.


Sometimes a Coke. I do like a Coke to start the day once in a while.

+1 Black Coffee all day everyday!

[Tym]

A nice liquor, as long as its sweet and over 20% anyway to start the day is great 

[osi]

Usually 1 coffee and 1 red bull. im dead

What kind of red bull? The silver one is pretty good.

[noisyturtle]

3 cups of coffee with half and half.

Original red bull for the win

[fohat.digs]

A medium-large sized glass of orange juice, usually followed half an hour later by 1-2 cups of strong coffee with cream.

I need to make the coffee an occasional pick-me-up rather than a regular thing.

[Lain1911]

Ensure is pretty good.

[iri]

Oolong or cocoa.

[Computer-Lab in Basement]

Coffee, black, or green tea, green...

Or water.

[Bromono]

protein shake

protein shake

Do you have a fancy blender? I'm considering juicing and/or going with some sort of shake but don't have a blender.

[fohat.digs]

I'm considering juicing

Juicing is by far the best.

The only problem is that you have to continuously buy fresh fruits and vegetables.

If you are cheap, juicers can often be found at yard sales. Look for a larger "mouth/throat" and remember that the ongoing problem is the difficulty in cleaning the damn thing, which has to be done right away and is a pain in the ass.

My Juiceman II is only a mediocre juicer, but it is the one I use most often because I find it the easiest to clean. I have a couple of others, including a Jack LaLanne, which are much better but harder to clean.

Or, best of all, get an over-powered blender and buzz the entire thing down to mush.

Nothing fancy. Just a normal big blender. I use 2 scoops of peanut butter marshmallow protein powder, 2 hand fulls of ice, and some almond milk. If it is right after a workout ill add a scoop of peanut butter.

[howthegodschill]

Water and/or orange juice. I need to get in on the juicing and blending games.

Do you guys think black coffee taste like cigarettes?

[fohat.digs]

Do you guys think black coffee taste like cigarettes?

I like coffee strong and bitter.

I read an article a few years ago (in Scientific American, I think) that studied how the stomach reacts to coffee. It turns out that milkfat, even in tiny amounts, helps buffer the stomach lining and makes the experience much easier on the body.

The suggestion was that "non-dairy" and "non-fat" substances called "creamers" were useless in this regard, but that even half a spoonful of real cream gave you the milkfat to provide the buffer.

But if you are trying to shoot up the coffee as if it were a drug, the buffer might slow down its absorption!

I do prefer milk and sugar in my coffee.

Maybe I've always just had bad coffee.

[heedpantsnow]

I have one double espresso with a tiny bit of steamed milk (like a Flat White or a Cortado), and a Mean Green smoothie (recipe is here: http://www.rebootwithjoe.com/mean-green-juice/).

Aren't apple seeds toxic?

I core it first.  Don't know if they're toxic but like you I thought I heard it somewhere.  It's easy though, with one of these: http://www.target.com/p/oxo-soft-works-apple-wedger/-/A-13567791#prodSlot=medium_1_1&term=apple+corer

[SpAmRaY]

Definitely need to try this green stuff at least once.

So far today I'm just now finishing my morning lemon water drink, normally I would have already had a couple sodas so I guess that is a positive.

[pichu23]

Warm water before brushing my teeth.
Then tea,

[eth0s]

Coffee with milk. 

Coffee, cigarettes and chocolate all have similar mocha/ tobacco flavors.  Which is why they go so good together.  I quit smoking though, like over 10 years ago.  But I can still enjoy my coffee and chocolate. 

[munch]

always tea.
actually hot earl grey most of the time, and I have no idea about the reference.

can't do coffee anymore, my stomach gave up :|

Same here. Been almost 10 years for me, as well.

[Nover]

~1l of water, followed by a mug of coffee. And the milk I drown my cereal in.

[danwomansan]

try to start the day with some orange or apple juice, but we never have it, so it's usually coffee.

oh, awesome. I never could get into that show, or most tv-shows for that matter.
I'm going to start telling my cupboards that when I have tea in the morning!

[smarmar]

I start off with room-temp water to get the mouth juices flowing again then cherry extract and/or fruit juice in my Irish oats, followed by more water. I usually don't start caffeinating myself until just before or with lunch (some kind of hot tea) unless I stop off at a coffee joint on my way to the office.

I make hella-good just-before-bed smoothies
fresh or frozen fruit/berries
banana
goji berries
dried figs
unsweetened plain yogurt
unsweetened almond milk
and a dash of fruit juice (no sugar added)
 

[rowdy]

One black coffee, two sugars.

[noisyturtle]

Sometimes I have beer and ice cream for breakfast just to remind myself I'm an adult.

Bloody Mary is a good morning drink.

I eat apples whole, core and all but pick out the seeds. I use a knife and just cut pieces off as I go, am I weird?

[danwomansan]

apple seeds contain cyanide but it would take eating a lot of apple seeds all at once, all chewed, to have enough to even make you sick
