I start my day with six cups brewing, pack four into my new SB thermos mom bought me, and the other two sqeeze into my SB cup. I drink 20-oz of water before I leave the house, and take a protein shake with 8 -10 oz milk in the car with me. I am a beverage hog. If you put it in front of me, I will drink it. That is my daily morning beverage.

Coffee? Hot, with fat free half and half, 1/2 packet of sweetner per cup, fully caffinated, and preferably starbucks dark roast (whatever kind strikes my fancy when I am buying it).


Nope, it doesn't make me jittery, keep me awake at night, raise my blood pressure, de-hydrate me (your body acclimates to it), and my growth hasn't been stunted by it.

Tea? Well, in a pinch, Starbucks puts out a passion tea that is yummy.
