Electrolyte mixes maybe? Caffeine free ones might still have other stimulants.

That’s what I was thinking of. I forget the brand, but there’s one that’s pretty high in niacin and the ingredients read like a Red Bull without the caffeine.

I like powerbar electrolyte Tablets. They’ve got sucralose in them which many know as Splenda. They are cheap though and sugar free. I find the blackcurrant ones to taste the best. Raspberry -pomegranate is also good.

Try some ginseng based beverages would be my guess

Ginseng can be pretty energetic by itself, depending on the person.

I don’t know and I’ve asked myself the same question, but I think you should try kombucha if you haven’t. It doesn’t taste the exact same but it’s the closest thing I know of to what you’re looking for

Doesn’t kombucha usually have some caffeine?

I’ve always seen it made from black tea, which has some caffeine. Less than an energy drink, but some. Unless the fermentation gets rid of the caffeine somehow.

Have you tried strong red tea/other herbal teas? They have lots of weird tastes

Also drinking hot water helps a bit more (it feels more filling). Congrats on the gains

There’s an anti-energy drink with melatonin to put you to sleep:

The product was first made the year after “Buy U A Drank” hit the airwaves.

This shit rules. I get this everytime I see it. I crave soda or bubbly drinks at night when I need to go to bed.

And if you put a jolly rancher in the bottle, you totally get sloshed dude.
