Summertime Liquid Calories Help Me Stay Cool And Refreshed !!

[bigenuff 302]

Its starting to warm up and I'm starting to freak out about the summer and all the cool sugary calorie filled drinks !! I've never been a person to drink my calories but I was an avid diet coke drinker. Now that I can't have carbonated drinks and dont care for iced tea I'm a little stuck !! I know if I plan ahead I can make my own smoothies but what else can u do in the fast paced summertime??

I used to drink diet coke -- 12 a day -- and have been drinking diet drinks for over 40 years. I am SO grateful that is no longer an option & I am free of that addiction. I think I lost 10 lbs just from stopping that.

I have started drinking crystal light. It's too sweet to me so I add more Water. I also drink Protein shakes. And make cool meals. I don't cook & live in TX & we had 3 months of 100 degree weather last year. So, I would also love some cool ideas.

Also, Water with cucumber slices is good.

Experiment with fruit tisanes and herbal teas. There are some really good ones out there. I tend to like ones described as "tropical".

Cucumber Water as mentioned above is also fantastic.

Have you heard of Mio...they are zero sugar, cals, & carbs...There are a ton of flavors...you squirt them into your Water. I also drink Powerade Zero and Wylers sugar free koolaid stuff...make a big pitcher of it.

Cucumber Water is good and refreshing. Try it.

Try the Mio squeeze bottles too. They come in various flavors: sweet tea, peach, fruit punch, berry pomegranate, lemonade, blueberry lemonade, etc. You just squeeze however much "flavor" you want into Water.< /p>

Cucumber Water is awesome! Also adding oranges' date=' lemons, grapefruit, stawberries, raspberries, etc. it's very refreshing. The cucumber which tends to be naturally salty also makes me commune more!!!! :-)

I have a sweet tooth and hawaiian punch makes a no calorie flavor packet just like Crystal Light....but much sweeter. Love it...
