In our house, it’s the battle of celsius vs coffee. My husband is the celsius lover and I am the coffee drinker. I don’t know about you, but coffee is a must have in my morning routine. Whether you live an active lifestyle and you want to choose a healthier option for your caffeine, or you are just curious what the difference is between the two, I have the answers for you!
Celsius vs Coffee: What’s the difference?
Celsius Drinks are Higher in Caffeine
Celsius drinks have a way higher amount of caffeine than coffee. In fact, it takes about two cups of coffee to give you the caffeine intake that a celsius drink will give you. The average cup of coffee will give you around 75 mg of caffeine, and a Celsius drink is packed full with 200 mg. So, if you are looking for a drink with a high caffeine content that will give you the energy boost needed to get you through that work day, Celsius is a better option.
Stinky Breath
Celcius wins in the stinky breath department. Since Celsius energy drinks don’t make your breath stink like coffee does, they get a clear point for that one.
My Favorite Coffee

Celsius Comes in Different Flavors

If you are going to be consuming coffee or large amounts of caffeine in general, make sure that you stay hydrated with water as well to try to avoid any adverse effects from happening. It is also best for your overall health to try to consume a minimal amount of calories, and loading your coffee up with cream and added sugar can cause other health issues like weight gain. Although there are good alternatives to energy drinks, like Celsius, it is still not recommended to drink a ton of caffeine every day.

Sticking to two cups of black coffee is a good choice for pregnant women to avoid negative effects from occurring. Of course, consult your doctor, I am not one to give medical advice!
Other Caffeinated Beverage Options
