Any suggestions on a good tea????



Recommended Posts

Does anybody have a good tea suggestion? Lately I notice that I been drinking a lot of coffee. I started with 1 cup a day and I'm up to 4 cups a day which I know is too many! I been using fair life fat free milk instead of the Creamer but I don't like that I been using way too many Splenda packets to sweetened my coffee. I'm open to hear everyone's suggestions, I'm not a picky person.

What kind of tea depends greatly on your personal tastes. Here are some of mine:

I like hibiscus tea because I like sweet, tart things. You could also use your fairlife to cook a good chai from scratch on the stovetop, that would be amazing, see this for all the options: http://www.crunchybetty.com/the-epic-guide-to-making-your-own-chai-tea (just keep the sugar content low).

If you like a calmer, relaxing tea, there are a variety of mints. Peppermints are good for nausea.

Jasmine is one of my favorites because it is good for digestion and easy to drink.


You can always buy a variety pack and enjoy exploring all the different flavors!

2 Tablespoons peeled and grated fresh ginger

2 Tablespoons peeled and grated fresh tumeric

2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 cups Water

1 cup artificial sweetener

Bring to boil and simmer at least five minutes.

Turn off heat and add 6 green tea bags.

Let that steep about 20 minutes.

Now you have an awesome concentrate that you can use to make 4-6 servings of tea.

If you look up the benefits of the first four ingredients, you will be amazed at how healthy it is.

That's good, because it does have a lot of sweetener in it, even though you do divide it out.

I always though green tea tasted like dirty feet, but I can actually enjoy it made this way.

I have been drinking Bamboo tea recently. It supposedly is high in silica which helps skin, hair, and nails. Tastes decent and helps my Hair loss and dryness all in one!

For easy to find tea, I really like the following varieties from Twinings: Darjeeling, Earl Grey, Green, and Green with Jasmine.

I absolutely love most of the teas from Teavana (http://teavana.com/). They can be a bit pricey, but the teas are absolutely phenomenal. You can find them in quite a few malls, and if there isn't a retail store near you, then you can order online. I really recommend trying the winterberry blend!

Harney and Sons has wonderful teas!

I drink their citrus tea daily with lemon.

Their Paris tea is wonderful with a touch of Splenda.

Two of my favorites!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
