I know what you're going through! I don't drink coffee or tea (except herbal). Chocolate is also a trigger but surprisingly, I seem to handle chocolate flavored soy pudding pretty well. Since my body is no longer used to caffeine, it usually gives me some energy. Chocolate Soy milk could also help when you crave for coffee. You can heat it in the microwave and put it in a cup so you feel like you're having coffee.
If you lack energy at the end of the afternoon, maybe it's because you need to eat something. You can try toasted bread with nut butter and jam (pear jam, for example). Fruits can also give you energy (I eat lots of baby jars: strawberry, bananas, etc.). Kree's ginger muffins could also help you since they have molasses in them.
