Finals week is coming up, and the Lantern is buzzing with more and more people buying coffee. I myself will be drinking more caffeine than usual (which is pretty intense, considering I already drink more than I should be drinking each day). But come on, it's finals season after all. So an extra shot of espresso is well deserved.
Want to get the most out of your daily "grind"? Here are five drinks that are sure to boost your energy level.
Stumptown Cold Brew + Chocolate Milk
Find Stumptown brand drinks at Target, they're highly caffeinated and delicious. Stumptown Chocolate is rich, sweet, and the most highly caffeinated of the brand's drinks. 340 mg of caffeine for the win!
Chameleon Cold Brew
12 ounces, 270 mg of caffeine. Make sure to find the ready to drink version, otherwise you will have to dilute it.
Starbucks Iced Coffee
Grande size, lightly sweetened (or unsweetened, if you have no soul like me). 165 mg of caffeine. Straight and to the point!
Starbucks Iced Latte
Despite the hype over espresso drinks being highly caffeinated, shots tend to have less caffeine than just plain coffee. However, iced lattes are still a good way to get your daily dose of energy (150 mg of caffeine for a grande size). Add caramel or vanilla flavor for something sweet!
Any Smoothie at Jamba Juice + Green Energy Boost
For those that don't love coffee, but need the extra energy. The energy boost adds 120 mg of caffeine to any smoothie.
Happy finals season!
