For most people, a pot of morning coffee is a mandatory step of their AM routine that gives them a jolt of energy that gets them through the day ahead. This is not the case for everyone. For others, a mug of java can trigger their nerve systems leaving them with physical jitters, lingering anxiety, insomnia, and even panic attacks.   

Thankfully, there are a growing number of emerging brands of coffee alternatives that provide sustained energy with less potent side effects. Although most people assume that non-coffee drinks are too weak to give you a long-lasting alterness or are chalky in taste, these alternatives are proving them wrong. Not only are they flavor-packed, they are filled with brain-boosting adaptogens, and provide sustained energy with decreased effects on the nervous system, less anxiety and even better sleep.
