Now this is something I really can't relate to. In fact, I don't even know if I believe this: Minnesotans rely on coffee the least.

I know that I definitely rely on coffee a lot! According to the National Coffee Association, about two-thirds of adults drink coffee every single day. It is always my favorite part of the day.

I love my coffee with a little bit of cream and maybe part of a protein shake. I am very particular about my coffee and I have it before I even say any words in the morning. Ha!

I know I am not alone in this but a surprising new study says I may be an outsider here in Minnesota because of my love for coffee - we rely on it the least, out of all the states in the country.

What?!! Taking all four factors into account, Minnesota is the state that relies on coffee the least. That is so surprising! SupremeWhip says that a good portion of the workforce here works remotely, so it's not as much of a need.

They also make another good point: Minnesota is one of the most active states with lots of outdoor recreation. This likely means we focus more on water and that post-workout high to give us a boost we need.
