Sneaky energy snacks: Besides straight up caffeine (like cola sodas, mountain dew, iced tea, coffee, red bull), be on the look out for energizing snacks and drinks. Green tea extract, guarana and ginseng can be found in juices, teas, "smart" water and vitamin water. Also in candy and even chewing gum. These sneaky sources of energy can make us twitchy too.
