Low calorie drinks ideas

honkytonks85

Hi all,

I love to drink things (I drink tons of water but also coffee, smoothie, juices) but most drinks come with too many empty calories. I would love to hear ideas for low calorie/healthy drinks that I can sip on throughout the day.

My usual go-to is soda water with ice and freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice.

What about you?

Herbal tea.

Walmart has these wonderful water drinks that are fizzy and delicious. Pina Colada and Golden Peach are my two favorite and they're 0 calories! Yum!!

I take a bottle of water and put in tea bags that are flavored; you can put 2 or 3 that are different and that's fun. You can do one green tea and one flavored, too.

Are you talking about cold brew teas?

There is a ricemilk, a nondairy milk and as long as you watch your sugar and sodium, you'll have a nice drink that is low calorie and actually mixes well with cereals.

Have you tried fruit infused water?
You get a lot of flavor of the fruit without actually needing to eat anything.
I've tried individual and mixed versions of the following:

Strawberry (probably the "sweetest")
Apple
Blackberry
Blueberry
Cucumber (subtle but amazingly refreshing)
Raspberry
Oranges (second sweetest)
Lemon (detoxes)
Lime

Usually I try to drink about a gallon of water a day, so when I full my gallon up the night before I cut up some fruit on hand and toss it in. By the morning the water is ready to go. The flavor gets a little stronger throughout the day, which is good because I tend to want more flavor later in the day anyway.

I was told green tea has a lot of caffeine which I'm not meant to have much. I didn't realise this but one night I had several pots of green tea and couldn't sleep.

I like non caffeinated herbal teas such as peppermint. There are other flavours like lemon and ginger that are good too.

Tequila, club soda, and a splash of cranberry juice with a lime wedge.

I drink a lot of tea, my favorites are lemon ginger (good for digestion) and peppermint (also good for digestion).

Put a lemon wedge in whatever you drink, it's really good for you.

Pour hot water over a chunk of ginger and add a little honey to sweeten it.
