Water first off. Then coffee ASAP, with copious amounts of half & half & Splenda. Probably some orange-pineapple during the run, and when I get back of course orc blood.
I don’t do coffee or tea so usually on a work day I usually start with a glass of fizzy Vimto. I am pretty ashamed to say that this is usually followed up by my morning caffeine hit from the delights of a Coca Cola can.
I probably won’t have any teeth left by the time I’m 30, but really don’t enjoy anything else that is easily accessible at work, and I never think to drink before I leave the house in the morning.
Huge glass of ice water, first thing. I keep a water filtration pitcher in my fridge, so I have cold, good-tasting water when I want it. I still put ice in it, though. Lots of ice.
About a half-hour later, I move on to the coffee, fresh ground and brewed, with Splenda and Half and Half.
2 shots of instant espresso w/vanilla soymilk (sometimes chocolate) in a 16-oz mug. Downed with a bunch of vitamins and usually a banana or apple or orange.
On off days, a widemouth 4-cup Mason jar filled with super-strong Tetley British Blend, 1/2 n 1/2, and honey. Plus the bunch of vitamins, and a couple of eggs over hard with sauteed greens.
Water, and if I’m not working and it’s around, about 16 oz. of room temperature Franzia crisp white wine straight from the box (poured into a cup – I’m not an animal, after all).
