It still has caffine, but less than coffee. I wondered if you had tried this. It is different, though, and I love coffee in the morning. I only have 1 or 2 cups in the morning, brewed pretty weak so as to save since it's so expensive. I have to admit we will still splurge on soda from time to time. But only single serving drinks, which cost more than buying a 2-liter, but then we drink less too. It's kind of our last "vice" after we quit so many other unhealthy addictions. Other than that it is water and milk the majority of the time. When I cook fruit, I save the water and drippings from it and mix with water sometimes for a different taste. My son loves it!Jen Henhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14540008662688827553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-720122887391988458.post-4400230294857873772012-07-15T19:46:28.511-05:002012-07-15T19:46:28.511-05:00Water and iced tea!

It was 90º F or more in the street and they served us up this wonderful hot, sweet, mint tea. Phew! Surprisingly, we felt very refreshed after having it. They just take a bunch of fresh mint and throw boiling water on top,add a spoonful or two of sugar and there you have it. In the summer here there is also another very refreshing drink called "horchata de chufa". The "chufa" is a little nut, you squash it and make a kind of milk, add sugar and drink it very cold.Lady Violetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-720122887391988458.post-86002956328356980812012-07-13T11:17:33.118-05:002012-07-13T11:17:33.118-05:00Water and the occasional juice are our go-tos arou...Water and the occasional juice are our go-tos around here! (But only if the juice doesn't have high fructose corn syrup in it.) When I stopped drinking soda, I immediately dropped 10 pounds. It was amazing.ffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908249955558788075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-720122887391988458.post-76624077178119312922012-07-13T10:39:21.434-05:002012-07-13T10:39:21.434-05:00We drink water.

Ocassionally we add lemon or other fruit to our water.<br /><br />I also make green smoothies, but I consider those more of a snack / meal.<br /><br />My kids eat cereal with almond milk, but they don't like to drink it so it is mostly just used in cereal and baking.<br /><br />In NJ raw milk is illegal, so until it isn't then we don't drink or use milk. <br /><br />We don't buy or drink soda, or juice, or anything else really.<br /><br />On a rare occasion I may buy Snapple as it is free of the stuff my kids can not have (dye, corn syrup, soy, and gluten.) But that is maybe 3-4 times a year.Becky Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02099347717228504160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-720122887391988458.post-91299635069458039862012-07-13T07:39:23.338-05:002012-07-13T07:39:23.338-05:00I am new to your blog and am enjoying it!
