Cut Back On Sugar With These Healthy Drink Options
It is no secret that sugar has a negative impact on health and should be consumed in limited amounts. Drinking plain water can get boring though, and traditional soda not only contains excessive amounts of sugar, but also artificial ingredients.
Thankfully, there are healthy alternatives that do exist! Below you’ll find a short list of some low-sugar drink options available at Mother’s that offer more flavor than water but aren’t loaded with sugar or calories.
Wave Soda
This soda alternative is a unique combination of sparkling water and fruit juice that offers consumers an all-natural drink option. With zero artificial ingredients, you can feel good about what you are drinking. The natural caffeine and carbonation provides a delightful pick-me-up that can be consumed any time of the day!
Wave Soda offers seven different fruit flavors and has recently introduced a classic flavor line that includes Cola, Dr. Diego, Ginger Ale, and Root Beer.
Coconut Water
Hydration in the house! Coconut water contains electrolytes, Vitamin C and carbs that work together to aid in hydration and recovery after exercise. Like Wave Soda, coconut water is a refreshing, all-natural drink option. With around 10g of sugar in one cup it offers another low-sugar substitute.
Hot or Iced Tea
Tea is another great option as it is natural and sugar-free. Tea comes in countless different flavors which is great if you are having a hard time finding healthy alternatives. If you feel that tea is a bit too bitter for your taste, consider adding a little milk or organic honey to sweeten it.
When looking for healthy drink options make sure to check the labels and read the ingredients first. This will help you to make the best choices for your health.
