Green Tea is not only good for your health, but it is also a fantastic source of caffeine. Compared to coffee, which on average has about 150 mg of caffeine per cup, green tea has only 30-50 mg, which makes it a great caffeine fix.

Dark Chocolate

A piece of dark chocolate can give you a great boost of productivity. It is rich in flavanols which, as per research, are great for helping those with cognitive decline that comes with age, as flavanols can boost your brain power for two to three hours.

Yerba Mate

A herbal tea popular in South America, it contains antioxidant polyphenols, plus as much caffeine as coffee. As per Harvard Medical School, preliminary research suggests that it might also help promote weight loss and lower blood cholesterol.

Golden Milk

Golden Milk or Haldi Milk is a traditional Indian beverage that has amazing health benefits, like anti-inflammatory properties. It also helps you sleep better, which in turn helps you wake up energised.

Breakfast

Living a fast-paced life, many of us end up skipping breakfast. However, having your first meal of the day within an hour of waking, can actually help you stay energised the whole day.

Chewing Gum
