Every day, we receive messages, not just from our faithful viewers, but also from TODAY staffers, asking the same question: \u201cWhat is it that the anchors are drinking?\u201d<\/p>\n

Well, to be honest, it depends. Just like most people, what winds up in Savannah, Craig and company\u2019s on-air TODAY show cup depends on their mood, and sometimes comes down to production needs. For example, if there\u2019s a food segment, we often have an adult beverage on the tasting table; Savannah likes a crisp ros\u00e9 (or a Savanita<\/a>), Craig a smooth bourbon and Carson will never say no to a beer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Most of our anchors start the day off with a cup of coffee. Al likes a NOLA-style iced coffee<\/a> (cold brew with chicory and lightly sweetened with milk), Dylan takes hers with milk and sugar, and Carson likes his with a splash of half-and-half (or even heavy cream when the mood strikes).<\/p>\n

Afterwards, it may just be some water (Dylan\u2019s go-to), and other times, it\u2019s a concoction the culinary team has developed specially for them.<\/p>\n

These are some of those beverages.<\/p>\n

While Hoda is no longer an everyday fixture on the show, we had to include this since she was the first to ask the food team to prepare a custom morning beverage. She was looking for something both healthy and refreshing, so Katie, the show\u2019s coordinating culinary producer, whipped up a green juice based on what we happened to have stocked in our fridge that day. It\u2019s evolved over the years, and both Katie and I make it slightly differently, but she loves it either way \u2014 so much so that Savannah would often join her in having a glass!<\/p>\n

If this sounds familiar, it\u2019s because it\u2019s a featured recipe in the \u201cTODAY Loves Food\u201d cookbook<\/a>. We think it\u2019s the perfect morning drink to soothe your throat and warm your vocal cords before going live. These days, Sheinelle drinks it every morning \u2014 and it\u2019s also made its way into Jenna\u2019s cup!<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll be honest, some days, it has nothing to do with my vocal health,\u201d says Sheinelle. \u201cIt\u2019s just comforting and warm, and helps me relax before the show.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is the newest addition to the lineup. Craig, who recently switched from a mushroom coffee alternative, wanted to change things up with a juice of his own. Katie opted for a beet-forward juice that\u2019s packed with nutrients and antioxidants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Every day, we receive messages, not just from our faithful viewers, but also from TODAY staffers, asking the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":535516,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[156,111,139,69,437],"class_list":["post-535515","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-entertainment","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/535515","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=535515"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/535515\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/535516"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=535515"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=535515"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=535515"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
