What do you drink in place of coffee?

Question

I’m working on cutting out of way back in coffee. I LOVE Starbucks blonde roast with sweet cream creamer. I have really bad acid reflux and have decided that my one cup a day is still too much. I also recently found out how had some of the ingredients are in my creamer (I found a pretty good copy cat recipe but it’s just not the same).
I’m on day 3 of no morning coffee, but I miss having something warm and yummy in the morning. I’m missing the taste more than the caffeine I think. 
I know a lot of ppl do teas as replacement but I think I need to stay away from as much caffeine as possible (causes me more heartburn and digestive issues). Just wondering what else ppl like to drink in place or coffee in the mornings?

Answer

Starbucks is the worst coffee you can drink if you have heartburn and digestive issues. It is very acidic. There are varying degrees of acidity in the different varieties of their coffees, but every one I've tried has been too acidic for me. It is the only coffee that actually makes me feel sick. You might solve your problem simply by switching to a different coffee. There are decent low acid coffees on the market that won't give you heartburn or digestive issues. If it's the amount of caffeine that bothers you, then you can try decaf, or you can try using a mixture of decaf and regular coffee. As far as your creamer, it is so bad for you. You're better off going with plain milk of choice or half-and-half and plain sugar. But here's the thing, if you are willing to switch to a totally different drink, then, why not just be willing to drink it a different way? Your taste buds get used to it after a while. I used to put so much creamer in my coffee. Now I can barely stand putting half a teaspoon of sugar in it. Most days I don't use any sugar at all. Just a few drops of stevia extract and a splash of half and half. If I have any additional cups of coffee during the day, I drink them black. For me there is no substitute for coffee. I've tried green tea, matcha, yerba mate, chai, cocoa, you name it… I've have tried it. I always end up with coffee.

I drink a clean energy drink. 200mg of caffeine that lasts all day with no sugar or crash

Answer

I doubt it's the caffeine causing you issues, as coffee is quite acidic, thus causing acid reflux and heartburn for some people. Have you tried drinking teas? There are SO many herbal teas that don't contain caffeine, in case it is actually the caffiene causing acid reflux, which once again, I highly doubt.  If you decide to try caffeinated teas, Earl Grey would be excellent with the sweet cream creamer. Constant Comment by Bigelow is another one of my faves. It's a black tea with notes of orange and cinnamon. Chai is another great option that would pair well with the creamer

Answer

It sounds like coffee isn’t issue- it’s the quality. Try a low acid organic coffee and  a simple (preferable organic) half and half or creamer.

Answer

I drink caffeine free herbal tea. My favorite is Traditional Medicinal’s echinacea plus elderberry. Echinacea also helps with the common cold, which I am around constantly as a teacher. I also enjoy mint tea on occasion.
