Many of us start our work with all the energy in the world that helps us wake up and pushes us through the bulk of the first part of our day. However, we can quickly lose that necessary energy around two or three o’clock. Many of us can relate to the drudgery of those final hours of work, which can feel impossible. That’s why you’re likely looking for healthy, energy-boosting drinks that can power you through that mid-afternoon slump.
Yerba Mate
You have likely heard of or seen yerba mate at your local health food store, as it has recently become quite popular in the health food sphere. Yerba mate is a plant that predominately grows in South American countries, and the beverage results from steeping the plant’s twigs and leaves. This drink contains small amounts of caffeine that relieve fatigue by providing a nice dose of energy. If you want to try something other than coffee to get through your slump, consider yerba mate.
Health Benefits
In addition to an energy boost, yerba mate has many health benefits. This drink is rich in nutrients and antioxidants. Moreover, it may help prevent certain infections from fungi, bacteria, and parasites.
Green Tea
If you don’t drink coffee in the afternoon because it keeps you up at night, then green tea might be your solution. Green tea contains only small amounts of caffeine that won’t disturb your sleep. If you think you’ll need more energy, consider adding a sweet dollop of honey.
The Secret Ingredient
Consuming more honey is a good idea if you want a comfortable dose of energy that won’t lead you to a sugar crash. Green tea with a little honey will provide you with just enough focus and motivation to push you through the rest of your shift.
Coconut Water
Did you know a common culprit of fatigue is dehydration? That’s why coconut water is one of the best energy-boosting drinks to power you through your work slump.
Natural Gatorade
Electrolytes help your body regulate fluids and rehydrate, keeping you functioning at optimal levels. Electrolytes are also crucial for muscle recovery. Coconut water is high in electrolytes, so many people dub it the natural Gatorade.
