I'm always looking for new things to drink. Unfortunately I don't mean a strawberry margarita vs a regular one but that would be yummy too! What I'm referring to is different, low cal, drinks instead of just water. Don't get me wrong, I do drink water, a lot of water and when I'm really thirsty there is nothing like cool water, without ice, to really quench your thirst but while I'm trying to reduce daily calories, I try to always have a beverage in arms reach.
I don't have a hard time with caffeine so I keep un-sweet tea in the fridge (Lipton regular and the flavored teas box are good) and I get a box of the little drink packets for water bottles every time I'm at the grocery. Not that I go through a box every week but I dump the box into a Ziploc and always have a variety of options such as sugar free lemonade, Crystal Lights, store brands, Lipton green and white teas, I get a different one each time to always have a variety. I also keep V8 on hand and I give my daughter V8 Fusion light, mixed with water as an juice option.
I've also stumbled upon the sparkling water at both Target and Wal-mart. The one I'm drinking at the moment is from Target and it's a Raspberry Blackberry sparkling water beverage. It's calorie, caffeine and sodium free! Wal-mart has a line of them too and I've enjoyed the lemon, tropical and several other flavors, also without calories, caffeine or sodium. They are carbonated but I'd rather have one of these than a soft drink even though I LOVE Diet Sunkist.
What beverages do you enjoy that are low in calories?
Shannon,
ReplyDeleteI love lemon water but got tired of cleaning and cutting up the lemons. They can also be pricey, depending on the season. Lately, I have been adding a dash of lemon juice to my glass of water and I'm liking it even better. Costco has a "finer" lemon juice. :) I've been adding that to my water and it's good too. Best wishes on your 30 days of blogging!
