subject pretty much says it all. black coffee is the obvious choice, but i can't stand any kind of hot coffee. i've tried to get into it many times and i just can't.

i have to wake up much earlier than i used to. most days im fine and i don't need a boost, but once or twice a week i need some help. is coke zero a terrible idea?

Black tea.

ETA: Mix it with a little bit of honey and some lemon juice.

Yes. Don't drink anything carbonated.

BCAA's with caffeine

Works great for intermittent fasting or whenever a boost is needed

If OP can't take coffee then probably can't drink black tea because of the strength.

OP: avoid the coke zero if you can. Get some unsweet tea or something that has caffeine, but try to avoid the sugar. I don't really know anything about spark or any similar products, but someone with more knowledge may be able to tell you if they are ok or not.

Quit having a vagina and drink coffee. Listen I was like you and for the longest time thought coffee was icky, then I manned up and did it. Started out with some creamer and whipped cream and now can take it straight if needed.

My pre-workout is coffee, just man up and learn to love it.

I hate hot drinks also, I make coffee and then pour it over ice and drink it fast.

Cold brew also is an option if the hot part is your main problem.

Dang complete opposite when it comes to coffee. I never used to drink it until we got a Kurig as a gift. Now we just brew our own. Nothing like a hot cup of coffee in the morning now, gets me going thru half the day with no food.

Get you some Strike Force Energy in the 750ml bottle for $50.

Mix one pump with 12 ozs water. It's like red bull concentrate: Caffeine, Taurine, B12.
