Refreshing Low Calorie & Nutritious Summer Drinks

Summer drinks recipe

There is nothing in the world that spells summer better than an afternoon spent lounging by the pool with an icy cold beverage in hand! Like me, how many of you have been craving something chilled throughout the day? While the idea of consuming a refreshing summer drink is plagued with thoughts of weight gain and the fact that most of these drinks are loaded with sugar, we thought of a few drinks that are low on calories and high on health. Try these refreshing summer drinks to beat the heat!

1. Coconut Water

Coconut Water is a beautifying beverage worth sipping all year long! It’s slightly sweet taste is particularly refreshing during summer. In addition to guzzling coconut water post-hot yoga flow or mixing it in to your A.M. smoothies, there are many other ways to enjoy it. Think on a popsicle stick, in a pudding and what not. Try adding some crushed mint leaves and lime juice to usual coconut water to make it more interesting.

2. Peppermint Tea

Whether you are preparing it from a tea bag or using fresh leaves, peppermint tea can be made in a matter of minutes. Introducing a batch of iced peppermint tea to a summer party is an invigorating experience! All you’ll need is:

  • 3-5 mint tea bags (or 30 fresh peppermint leaves)
  • 4 cups (32 ounces) water

There’s nothing that beats homemade lemonade, except adding strawberries to the mix!

What you need is:

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries
  • 3/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, about 5 lemons
