If you’re tired at work, pulling an all nighter, running a marathon or you’re a cyclist, this list is what you need to see!

We made a list of the 7 Best Caffeine Snacks for Coffee Addicts 2018: it ranges from coffee-flavored snacks, to caffeine jam packed gum you can get right now.

Is it even possible to live WITHOUT coffee?

We’ve all had that painful moment when we miss our morning coffee because we’re running late for work or we’re forced to take those dreadful early classes (9am classes should be outlawed).

Agree with us when we say: that coffee is the 9th wonder of the world, and to make it better, in moderate amounts, caffeine actually has healthy benefits. Caffeine can boost our memory, improve our mental functions and decrease fatigue (see this study). But in some cases, caffeine can boost blood pressure, so if you’re unsure how much caffeine you can handle, check with a professional.

Every once in a while you wanna skip having coffee breath, or you just don’t have time to get that much needed caffeine injection cause you’re stuck in the office and painfully trying to make it past noon.

Low energy begone! Here we go:
