The first few things that we do after waking up set the tone for the day ahead and also tell a lot about our lifestyle. A person who wakes up earlier to follow an exercise regimen before going to work will be healthier & in shape than those who wake up, get ready, and straightly go to their respective workplace. Similarly, what we eat or drink on an empty stomach has a huge impact on our health. Eating a healthy breakfast helps our energy levels, digestion, and overall well-being overeating an unhealthy breakfast including processed food.

While many people reach for a cup of coffee to jumpstart their day, there are some super healthy drinks for a healthy and nourishing start of the day ahead. And, that’s exactly what going to be discussed here.

I was passionately looking for caffeine alternatives as coffee or tea makes me feel tired and it is scientifically proven as well as per an article by Sleep Foundation. So, I did a bit of research and got my hands on some nourishing drinks. Here is the list of 5 best morning drinks which are fresh, healthy, and may help you to make a positive change in the morning routine.

I’ve finally started enjoying my morning routine through these nutritious drinks and I hope you will too. Let’s get scrolling to find out!

First things first, when it comes to the best morning drinks for health, water is certainly one of the healthiest drinks to start your day with. Though it is often underrated, but the benefits water upholds will surely make you jumpstart with a glass of water when you wake up tomorrow. Water has a plethora of health benefits that you need to flush out the toxins from the body and make the immunity system stronger to effectively fight off many infections and diseases. It also rehydrates the body after hours of sleep-induced dehydration which is incredibly crucial for starting the day right.

The best thing is- water does not result in energy crash unlike caffeinated or sugary drinks thus a glass of water in the morning promotes both physical and mental well-being and provide long-term health benefits.

2. Natural Juices

Juices have a bad reputation because of the sugar and unhealthy additives they are generally equipped with. However, if you’re drinking fresh and pure juice made with natural ingredients either by juicing at home or from a reliable brand, they are one of the best morning drinks because they contain vital vitamins and minerals for an all-round healthy choice.

I drink freshly pressed juices from OMJOOS because I am not a fan of juicing at home. These pure cold-pressed juices are 100% natural and without any chemicals or additives. There are different individual and mixed flavours to choose from so that you can never get bored of the same taste.

If you’re looking for healthy & delicious morning juices, Ash Gourd Juice, Orange Juice, ABC Juice, Tomato Juice, Green Juice, and Apple Juice makes the healthiest options among the plethora of juice flavours. Drinking these juices will keep you hydrated, energised, boost immunity, and help you make the most of the day ahead.

3. Warm Lemon Water

As I am not able to keep up drinking water in the morning, I found this perfect way to make it interesting. Yet another simplest and most effective drink to begin your day is sipping a glass of warm lemon water. This refreshing drink offers abundant health benefits. First, it helps kick-start your metabolism, keeps digestive issues at bay, and aids in weight management. All thanks to the Vitamin C-enriched properties of lemon. It is a healthier alternative for your morning tea or coffee as it gives you a boost of energy rather than leaving you sluggish and tired which is mostly in the case of caffeinated and sugary drinks.

According to the Times of India, lemon also tends to reduce stress and uplift mood. Seems an affordable way to do that. Isn’t it? So, the next time you want to drink water but with some refreshing twist, you know what to drink!

4. Coconut Water

If you have not gone nuts over Coco “NUT”, you might get it now because the advantages of coconut water are endless. The sweet and nutty taste of coconut is hydrating, packed with crucial nutrients such as potassium and calcium, low in calories, and kick-start your metabolism.

It is also great for getting flawless skin and aids weight management. Just ensure drinking fresh coconut water to reap all the benefits. It’s light, refreshing, and gives you the right kick to start the day. Strictly avoid canned and sugar coconut water as they are majorly packed with harmful refined sugar and other additives.

5. Smoothies

One of my favourite morning drinks which is equally delicious and nutritious is Smoothies. The best part is- you can experiment a lot when it comes to the flavour of thick and creamy smoothies. It also delivers a dose of required energy and helps curb my sugar cravings. Besides this, it also helps to increase the consumption of fruits and veggies that we miss otherwise in our diet and gives a feeling of fuller stomach, too.

Also, smoothies are quick and convenient to make. Definitely the best option for busy mornings. I enjoy green smoothies and blueberry ones. Just keep track of using fruits with balanced sugar content if you’re trying to lose weight. Also, avoid adding sugar instead try natural sweeteners like honey.
