What do you drink with breakfast?

Ok, so I'll admit it. I'm not a big breakfast person. I'll avoid eating in the morning if I can, unless I'm really hungry and will be having a long day and won't be able to get another meal for awhile. So, when I finally do get to eat breakfast, I'll drink whatever I feel like during the meal. Sometimes, I'll drink a soda, depending on how much caffeine I feel I need (I can't stand the taste of regular coffee, so that's a no go). Sometimes I'll drink water, other times I'll have some gatoraide. If I have other juice on hand, I may drink that as well. But usually, I never drink much of anything that people consider "breakfast drinks". What do you drink with breakfast? Do you get strange looks for drinking that during that time of day? Or do you think people are strange for drinking things you wouldn't drink with breakfast?

Coffee,i can't start my day without it! Don't really like to eat after i just woke up,either. Good thing i get free breakfast at work. You get there,work a little bit,your appetite wakes up and you're ready to eat! lol I know I should cut down on caffeine,since drink coffee with pretty much every meal and in-between.

Yeah, I know coffee is the best choice to start off in the morning. Sometimes I have coffee and cream mixed in with hot chocolate.

I usually try to drink some juice or water with breakfast. That is if it's something that I don't crave milk. I usually have to have milk with waffles and poptarts. lol.

Hi! We have the same temperament about the eating breakfast thing. In my case though, I dont really eat breakfast because I sleep throguh it!. I usually wake up about 12.30-1PM, especially now that its our summer break. Well, whena nd if I really have to get up in the morning and eat something,..I still dont. I relly dont eat breakfst but I do drink something! Whatever is available in our pantry thats what my Mom will make for me because otherwise I wont eat/drink at all. My number one drink in the mornign is chocolate flavored coffee. Second, is chocolate drink. And last but not the lest is milk. Someitmes though, I drink soda if I see it in the fridge. If there's none then I stick to the others. hehe As to your other questions,..well, what did you mean about the 'breakfast drinks'?I know its usually water, but I could be wrong. Did you mean those home-made drinks with ingredients like veggies and other fruits, or a glass full of eggs?

Coffee. It's always been coffee my dear. It's part of my morning life or actually I don't have a morning life so whenever after I wake up, the first thing I do is boil some water for my coffee. I love that drink over anything else. I hate cold in the morning. It would surely torment my stomach the minute I drink cold drinks such as juice, ice cold water and etc.

When i will take my breakfast which is very rare since I really don't have appetite in the morning, i prefer cold water, like 2 big glasses! but, most of the time, i am just having tea! my drink and my breakfast! My husband influenced me to start it since, when I first smell it, I told myself, this is something I will never drink again! LOL, but after a while, i started to like it and love it!

I always drink just tea with breakfast unless I'm away from home and staying in a place where they serve orange juice then I might have a glass of that. I don't know why I don't do it more often at home as I usually have it in the fridge and it is good for you. I'm not fond of coffee and I don't have a very sweet tooth when it comes to drinks except hot chocolate, which I did drink for breakfast when I was in France as they do that over there and they put a jug of it out every morning.

I just drink water with my breakfast. It makes everything digest easier and I don't feel sick afterwards.

I always drink hot water in the mornings, I like to kid myself than it detoxes my system! I drinlk one cup while catching up on the pc and then another cup of hot water while I am eating my bran flakes. This is during the week. Saturdays and Sundays we always have a lay in and hubby always brings me a lovely cup of tea, just the shade of brown

When I get up in the morning I like to have a nice strong cup of coffee, As the day goes on I will go to The Second cup for more coffee, but a little different this time. Mocha lattes are wonderful, from The Second cup.

I have to have a drink or two of Diet cola every morning when I wake up. I don't know if it is a habit or an addiction. After that, I drink coffee. I proably go through a pot in the morning. I don't eat breakfast most of the days.

At home, I would have some type of juice... orange juice, grape juice, grapefruit juice or whatever else I had on hand. Sometimes I also drink water. If I were at a restaurant for breakfast, I would order ice tea and/or ice tea with orange juice. Sometimes I also will drink iced water.
