It happens to everyone – that drowsy buzz that hits you in the mid-afternoon or even as soon as you sit at your desk in the morning. Either way, long days at work likely have you in need of a pick-me-up. But let's face it – coffee isn't for everyone. For some, drinking coffee leads to headaches and stomachaches. Specialty coffee drinks can be filled with calories and sugar. A Starbucks grande iced caramel macchiato with 2 percent milk, for example, is 250 calories and 34 grams of sugar.
Luckily, there are tons of local options to boost your energy that don't include coffee.

You won't find any coffee at Simply Fit Meals, but you will find a menu filled with revitalizing snacks and juices. The Green Limon juice is jam-packed with greens like kale, spinach and parsley. Greens are a great natural energy booster if caffeine isn't your thing.
