Are you drinking your calories??

This week I thought it would be a good idea to focus on not what we eat but what we drink.  Most people don’t realize how many calories they take in each day from drinks alone. For instance, a café mocha with all the fixings can pack in over 500 calories! Switching to healthier drinks and ditching the “junk drinks” will greatly reduce your daily caloric intake.  

Drink this…

• Decaffeinated Tea (iced/hot)
• Vegetable Juice (watch the sodium)
• GREEN MONSTERS
• 100% Fruit Juice (watch serving sizes)
• Milk
• Good, Old-Fashioned Ice Water

Not that…

• Soda
• Sports Drinks (Gatorade)
• Designer waters (vitamin water)
• Lemonade
• Sweet Tea

There are alternatives to the yummy coffee drinks that we love.  Try a skinny variety at Starbucks®, made with sugar free syrup and non fat milk.  Try unsweetened vanilla Almond Breeze® in your coffee, Yum!!!
