So I would like to cut soda/energy drinks out of my diet. Major issue there being that I need some caffiene to get going in the mornings and I hate the taste of coffee! Any suggestions???

    Green tea has caffeine in it and it is very good for you.

    I used to think I needed caffiene... BUT reality is, after 3 days of not drinking caffiene, it gets MUCH easier... I used to drink pepsi for every meal, but now I drink water!!!!! The only time I slip up and drink pepsi or any other drink is when I am out with friends... Not good but I always work it off afterwards. So I don't always feel guilty abt it.

    I do like tea but when I've tried that before I would still get headaches from there not being as much caffiene.... any recommendations on cold teas? it's getting kind of warm for hot tea!

    There is just as much caffeine in tea as coffee. You just have to make it right - tea bag in mug, BOILING water poured on, leave for five minutes, remove tea bag, add milk.

    Caffeine may not be essential to some people, but it is to me. I am evil if I don't have tea in the morning. I didn't get any until 11am this morning as I had a manic morning, and I thought my head was going to explode with the pain. I NEED tea in the morning.

    I don't drink coffee as it gives me blackouts, and coke is beyond vile.

    Personally, I love me some Chai Tea in the morning. I can drink it warm or over ice :)

    Just straight English breakfast or Ceylon black tea with milk.

    Brand-wise - Whittard or Twinings, but I prefer Whittard.
