Choosing Healthy Drinks

Drinks can be more calories than a meal and more sugar than a candy bar! Ouch! Try making a comparable drink of your own. I know it's not the same if you're used to drinking pop... but over time you will get used to it! 

​

Remember... think before you drink! Here are drink suggestions:

​

Coffee & Tea:

• Regular unsweetneed coffee or tea

• Flavor your latte by adding a little honey and cinnamon instead of syrup

• Chai tea latte with a chai tea bag instead of syrup

• Mocha smoothie with almond milk, frozen banana, coffee grounds, and cocoa powder

​

Flavored Water:

• Water with strawberries and and a squeeze of lemon

• Water with watermelon and mint

• Water with pineapple chunks and a splash or orange juice

• Can use soda water for carbonation to replace pop

​

Alcoholic

• Instead of vodka cranberry... choose vodka, soda water, and a splash of cranberry

• Instead of a margarita... choose tequila or flavored rum, soda water, and fresh lime juice

• Instead of wine, make a spritzer with wine, soda water, and fresh fruit

• Instead of a pina colada choose vodka, soda water, and a splash of pineapple juice

• Choose light beer over regular beer
