For the hot summer days....

Refreshing Summer Drinks

Long, hot summer days can make you especially thirsty so be sure to stay hydrated with healthy beverage choices. What you drink can have a big impact on your weight loss progress and health. Alcoholic and high sugar beverages like soda (or even juice) can contain a lot of calories that can add up. Limit drinks that contain caffeine, which is a diuretic, and is not the best option to help you rehydrate. For a healthier "sipping solution," choose calorie-free beverage options such as ice water, sugar-free iced tea, flavored sparkling waters or diet soda. For a refreshingly cool treat, make a juice spritzer and eliminate half of the calories in fruit juice: combine four ounces of soda water and four ounces of your favorite 100% fruit juice and add ice.
