(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best energy drinks

Hey, Derpeyduck! So nice of you to solicit advice for your new Dad friend. I'd love to receive a 'Daddy Survival Kit' - something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Basket-Affair-Dads-Survival-Gourmet/dp/B00A29FLY4/ref=sr_1_5_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1481262604&sr=8-5&keywords=daddy+survival+kit

You can build one yourself!

• Earbuds - while we laugh and giggle about it, as a new Dad, the crying after about 2 months really actually does get to you, and Dad has to go to work. Those earbuds - get good ones, make sure they work. Throw them in the bottom of the bag, barely acknowledge them, but Dad will appreciate them when he learns he wants them.
  
• Chocolate, Candy, snacks, chips, etc.
  
• Scent-free hand lotion
  
• Portable wet-wipes
  
• Scent fresheners (hehe)
  
• Dad's root beer. Cute, fun, awesome, has "Dad" on it.
  
• Dad's cookies
  
• Tiny bottle of Scotch or something :D
  
  
  Other things I would have appreciated as a new Daddy:
  
• Baby wraps or slings
  Moms and babies have a natural advantage to have that precious skin-to-skin time as a newborn (Boobs - babies don't roll off). Dads don't have this natural advantage. We need a bit of help.

  A baby wrap blanket will allow Dad to stay mobile while bonding with the new bundle of love & job.

This isn't a recipe, but an alternative to all those monsters you're drinking.

Allow me to introduce you to, Neuro Sonic. These little buggers will give you tons of energy without the mass amounts of sugar and calories that are in popular energy drinks. They sell them in gas stations, CVS stores, and Targets. However, the original flavor is the best and has the most potent ingredients. So, I order them on Amazon by the case. They aren't as healthy as a homemade fruit smoothie or a big glass of water, but when you're craving carbonation, flavor, and a good energy buzz Neuro Sonic has your back!

(Their Sleep line is also amazing for catching some zzz's!)

Bacchus Energy Drink. It's a Korean energy drink that I think tastes very similar to red bull. I'm pretty sure it has less caffeine in it than red bull, but I don't know how much exactly. It's cheaper than red bull too, I think it was $6.99 for a 6pk when I got it last time.

You can usually find these at a Korean super market, if not they'll definitely have Bacchus-D (the wiki/image says Bacchus-F, but it's label is Bacchus-D now) however, this is more of an energy supplement rather than an energy drink (note it's size) and it's non carbonated. So it tastes like non carbonated red bull. Both drinks are very tasty imo. You can probably order Bacchus energy drink online, but you'll probably have to look around.

I too am hoping for a cheap soda alternative that tastes like red bull.

Hey, sure thing. For working out I go to the gym once a week and do the elliptical for about 15-20 minutes. If I'm feeling really ambitious I might add in a minute or two of doing either the leg press or seated row machines at about 30 lbs weight on both. Sometimes I'm really lazy so I'll just stay at home and do a pilates video and consider that my "workout" for the week.


For food, I do a half-assed version of OMAD (one meal a day) and also keep my carb intake under 40g/day. Breakfast is usually a small bite, and I skip having a proper lunch, opting to snack throughout the day instead. My typical food for a day looks like this:

• Breakfast: Black coffee, no sugar or milk (5 cal), 1 piece Norwegian crispbread with 2 tbsp cream cheese spread and spinach (250 cal)
  
• Snack: Sugar-free Jello Pudding Cup (70 cal)
  
• Snack: 1 piece beef jerky (~60 cal)
  
• Snack: Protein shake (100 cal)
  
• Snack: 4 tbsp chicken liver paté (160 cal)
  
• Dinner: Varies, but often consists of a protein, vegetables/spinach salad, cheese (~600 cal)
  
• Dessert: 1 piece sugar-free sesame halva (90 cal)
  
  Total: ~1335 cal
  
  
  I hope this is useful and helps you gain insight on what you're trying to accomplish. Good luck!

If you're cool with artificial sweetener, these are what do it for me:

0 calorie coffee flavors: a tiny splash of something like this makes my afternoon coffee a lot more fun. Couple it with a couple tablespoons of milk, tasty beverage for only a few calories, depending on the type of milk used. (Plain, unsweetened unflavored almond milk is 30 calories per cup)

I'll also make my own skinny lattes with a cup of almond milk, top off my travel mug with water, a small splash of vanilla, and some splenda. Stir and heat it up. Works out to 30 calories, which is a pretty good deal for what I get out of it.

Drink flavors like this are also worth keeping in my desk - instead of yet another bottle of plain water, I'll do this a couple times a week for variety.

If you don't like artificial sweetener, I'd say add a bit of cinnamon/vanilla to your coffee, and also try flavored sparkling water like Perrier makes.

The chicha is not a shout is like a dessert, damn alcoholic translator, here you have an image and a recipe https://elsiglo.com.ve/2018/01/17/chicha-base-pasta-mira-prepararla/ is not too long recipe, should not be very difficult to understand.


Our mood is the best in the world, that's why those who know us outside love us so much;), or hate us, it depends on how they've taken our jokes.


I'm rereading what the translator put in before, WTF? xd Black Pulses? Sounds like a bad serial name from Netflix, and yes, the caraotras are the black beans.


Here are some Venezuelan sweets, I think they're pretty hard to get out of Venezuela, Colombia or Miami, so they could be a bestial detail if your boyfriend likes the sweet.

Cocosette


Pirulin

You can already get it on amazon for a really good price. 24 pack for $34.
Monster Energy Ultra Paradise, Sugar Free Energy Drink, 16 oz (Pack of 24) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07P9XNX4D/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_hLonDb6188CJV

I agree. Foam roller (Trigger Point is awesome), protein, and fish oil are great. I would also add that having a recovery drink that has protein
and carbs (like Mike's Mix) really helps. The carbs will help with muscle recovery so you feel back to normal strength sooner after a hard workout.

Have a great flight and trip! Drink lots of energy drinks with potassium so you don't get heat stroke, seriously! And Happy Birthday!
Edit: By energy drinks I did not mean Red Bull, I was referring to the sports beverages that have electrolytes with added vitamins and minerals, most importantly B vitamins, potassium, etc. As in Zipfizz.

It shouldn't because the electrolytes I use mostly have the potassium that you are missing. So I take a magnesium supplement as well.

Here is a link but I'm in the US so not sure if they'll have it in the UK

Sqwincher ZERO Qwik Stik - Sugar Free Electrolyte Powdered Beverage Mix, Raspberry 060105-RB,5.41 oz(Pack of 50) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000V6T4TQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_m2sxDbHFY5GJM

Also you are hardly getting any magnesium so you need quite a bit.

Note: I am not a doctor so please talk to your GP and if possible have then check your blood counts to see what you are lacking. Good luck

Rojo is fucking delicious. If I can buy Rojo exclusively by the cases, I would be a very happy man. By far the best monster flavor out of all of them (I probably have tried all of them at this point)

edit:

I think that Angostura makes some of the best modern rum (or light rum) on the market, and this is an example of one.

I've seen it in a pic once where someone shared what was available in their local liquor store so you may be able to find it in the U.S. with a little looking.

Usually when I drink this, it's in something called a "brown cow" that's available in any bar or "rum shop" in Trinidad.

The bartender pours a bottle of Guinness Foreign Extra into a bottle, then adds a 375ml pack of Vanilla Supligen, then tops it up with either Forres Park Puncheon Rum or Fernandes Black Label Rum.

The end result is a bottle of a slightly fizzy, less sweet version of an Irish Cream.

Who needs revision?!

This shouldn't keep you distracted from your revisions, but if you have to many at once with some vodka it may...

Euro Version


Right now I am at work! I get off in a hour then I'm heading home to do fun things, like skipping my afternoon classes and watching Lost on Netflix! Oh and I'm waiting for a new orchid I ordered off the internet to show up today. I'm hoping to get home before the mail-person comes, since it has to be signed for.

I get this as well, when I do, I know I am low on electrolytes. Adding morton's lite salt to your diet will boost your potassium.

Also, mio electrolytes in your water bottle helps as well. Read up on keto flu for more electrolyte boosting options. Good luck.

We use these at work. I can't attest to the chemistry, but the packaging makes it appealing for a bag. I have a few in mine. They are meant to mix with a 12 Oz bottle of water I think. When I'm working hard I'll have about two waters then one of these, so even if you only had a couple packets and sprinkled in just a little here and there for a bit of flavor and some lost electrolytes it might work well.

Edit: Adding a link to what I was talking about sure would help.

Well a 24 pack is pretty cheap

If you are buying redbull from a gas station in the morning, stop. If you really need an energy fix throughout the day, buy a case of redbull and take them from home. You can buy 24 cans of redbull on amazon for $41, here that is less than $2 a can. In 24 days (if you drink one a day) that will save you over $30.

I'll take NaturesPlus supplements and do lots better than ''healthy eaters''.
I get more nutrition than healthy eaters, by far.
No other supplement company compares.
They aren't even in the same ballpark.
http://www.amazon.com/Natures-Plus-Source-Energy-Shake/dp/B00013Z0WO
The key is how they make their supplements.

Life changing.

This is kind of my specialty. I'm a tugboat captain and I don't stand a set watch because where I work, my mates are on a normal rotation and I show up whenever we have some actual ship or barge work to do. My trick is an apple and a B-Vitamin. I prefer the apple to be out of the fridge, cold, and a little on the sour side. If I'm going to be working for several hours (some jobs can take up to 13) then there's a shake I buy on Amazon called Source of Life that's almost a meal by itself and a huge dose of B-Vitamins.

I also practice mindful meditation periodically through the day. I incorporate it into mundane tasks that don't require other brain power, like brushing my teeth or making a cup of tea.

I have the following on my subscribe & save list - damn good deals.

Popchips, 24 single-serving bags for $17.34

24 pack of red-bull 8.4oz cans for $41.17

20-pack of spicy Nong Shim Shin ramen noodles for $14.96

4 pack of 12-ounce kellogs rice krispies, $10

Looks like Amazon sells it.

There's a pretty simple solution for customers while Amazon cleans up the marketplace - only buy items shipped and sold by Amazon. Item pages default to the lowest cost option - it's imperative to check the seller first before buying.

Be careful of FBA (fulfilled by Amazon) items as well - only purchase those if the manufacturer is directly offering the product (similar to Jolt Cola's offering). Jolt owns the inventory, but stores it in Amazon's warehouses to utilize their fulfillment network.

I like squinchers

IN DEDICATION TO THE RBNJ PERFORMANCE SO FAR THIS YEAR, RED BULL 24 PACK HALF OFF ON AMAZON.

How long before we get an F1 team sponsored by [Pussy Energy Drink?] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I7IZCAU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Aoi5BbMGNRZDQ)

Have you tried flavor enhancers or electrolyte mixes with your water? I have such a hard time drinking straight water! I usually split 1 1/2 tubes of zipfizz between 120 oz of water, and drink that throughout the day. It tastes good so I have no problem drinking it, and I get some added potassium, magnesium, and other vitamins.

It still exists.

You can just buy it here for $1.25 a can and not have to go into a sketchy place.

I got these recently. They're the closest I've found to the taste of lemon-lime gatorade.

I also use potassium and magnesium pills.

I make a smoothie with about a cup of spinach spring mix a banana some frozen strawberries and spoonful of hemp seeds and a serving of this in water.

How would you rate it?

Have you tried taking an over-the-counter proton pump inhibitor to control the acid? Taking one pill every morning generally works for me to the point where I can even have coffee and spicy food without my reflux going all aggro on me. Look in your pharmacy for omeprazole and take one pill every morning.
