Energy Drink alternatives?

I come home from working on my feet early mornings and am often very tired. I was never a big fan of energy drinks, and I really don't want any of the calories or huge sugar spike. Is there anything else I can try? I'm not looking for a huge rush of energy, just enough to get me off my feet (and away from my computer/snack mode).

Or should I just drag myself to the treadmill and exercise after work?

    I've heard good things about ginseng as a focus and energy booster, but that's just word of mouth :)

    Wow Shakeology spokes people simmer down. Who can afford $120 a month for a supplement? Seriously?...

    Um back to the topic... Coffee, tea occasional EmergenC or vitamin water works for me!

    Does coke zero count as an 'energy drink'?

    It's my low-calorie pick-me-up of choice.

    I've tried various other stuff, but reality is it's the drug (caffeine) that is effective for me.

    I liked the tea and lift off drinks from herbalife. However I much prefer my coffee and Rockstar energy drinks anyday.

    Coconut Water is natures energy drink! Better than a banana. But not that crap in the can I mean the ones that come in a tetra pak. These brands are pretty good:
