I just woke up and am having my "morning shake" - I imagine most of you are having dinner Anything good tonight?

Good morning! Just waking up, enjoying my EAS chocolate protein shake with various chewy orange vitamins / fiber / calcium. How about you?

I've been struggling with allergies lately so for breakfast I've been drinking a 20 oz glass of water with 2 supplements mixed in:
1. super orange emergen-C (has electrolytes and 1000 mg vitamin C)
2. Goji/Acai Berry SuperFood Greens (has alkalizing green superfoods, antioxidant rich fruit, probiotics, and digestive enzymes).

It's an ugly green color but tastes pretty good. That and 3 immune system supplements plus 2 cups coffee has been my breakfast pretty much all week. It's very filling so I don't eat lunch until 1 or 2 p.m. and it's helping my immune system cope with nasty allergens.

Dear Monica -

Vitamin C is so important for us! I take 500mg of C each morning as an orange chewy. I forget to note that sometimes in my notes! Thank you for reminding me

I have been using the designer whey protein chocolate shake in the mornings lately. It is fast and gets me going. I am going to look into some of these supplements to go into it, be nice to get an extra quick boost.

AKLisa - is that a brand name? Bob drinks a different brand than I do, his comes powdered in a bag but it's also from EAS. He also has a powdered mix from Vitamin World he's trying.

Hey Monica-

Good combo. The Vitamin C helps you absorb many of the other nutrients.

Unfortunately for me, coffee inhibits my absorption of many nutrients.

I've gotta get on that Emergence-C kick!

Yvonnie -

Coffee sends me into a caffeine burst and then trough - including shaky hands - so I had to wean myself off of it years ago.

Hence the herbal teas I'm lucky that I didn't get 'into' coffee when I was younger. Perhaps it's a cultural thing? I even dislike ordinary tea and usually go with herbal myself.

Ian - I absolutely am a fan of herbal teas. I like that there are so many flavors out there to experiment with!
