Caffeine-Free Products (671)

Trying to limit your caffeine intake? You’re in the right place! Typically found in coffee and tea, caffeine is a natural stimulant that works by blocking the action of chemicals in the brain that cause drowsiness—specifically, adenosine. Caffeine also helps stimulate different parts of the nervous system, leading to an “awake” feeling most people crave when they reach for a cup in the morning. No matter what your reasons are for steering clear (like wanting to avoid jitters or heartburn) we’ve got plenty of options to inspire your next drink, sans caffeine.

Decaf vs. Caffeine Free

When trying to curb your caffeine intake, switching to decaf might not be enough, and here’s why: Coffee and tea are naturally caffeinated, and even decaf options have trace amounts of caffeine in them. For instance, here’s how much caffeine you’ll get in the following 8-ounce decaf beverages:

• Coffee: 95 to 165 milligrams caffeine
• Black tea: 25 to 48 milligrams of caffeine
• Green tea: 25 to 29 milligrams of caffeine

Decaf is short for “decaffeinated,” which means while the natural caffeine has been removed during production of the coffee or tea, small traces of caffeine remain. Caffeine-free coffees and teas, on the other hand, are—you guessed it—entirely free of caffeine.

Tips for Swapping Out Caffeine In Your Diet

Nixing your caffeine habit takes time, but here are three tips to help you make the transition as easily as possible!

Reduce caffeine slowly

If you rely on a cup of Joe to start your morning, don’t stop drinking it cold turkey or you might experience unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Instead, ease up slowly. For example, if you usually have two cups after waking up, reduce it to one for a week. Or, if you drink caffeine in the afternoon, switch to a low-caffeine tea like black or green tea, or decaf tea or coffee.

Remember how much money you’re saving

Hitting the local coffee shop can add up fast! Take a few minutes to calculate how much you’re spending on coffee every month, and you might find the savings is motivation enough to cut back!

Energize in other ways

Instead of relying on coffee to perk you up in the morning, try switching your workout routine to the a.m., listening to upbeat music, or work in some naps or meditation during the day.
