4 Drinks to Drink Instead of Coffee - And They’re Not Water, We Promise!
Who doesn’t love a cup of coffee in the morning? We look forward to it each and every day, but too much caffeine can really drive up our cortisol and adrenaline levels, increasing stress in the body… So, reaching for that second cup in the afternoon might not be the best idea.
But not to worry, since we recommend sticking to one coffee a day, preferably before midday, we understand those withdrawals are real. So we’ve got you covered with four caffeine-free alternatives, which will still hit the spot when you’re craving your coffee hit!
Thank us later xo
