As summer approaches, the temptation for packed fruit juices and cola drinks increases, especially among children. However, these beverages are often loaded with additives and sugar, which can lead to various health issues such as unhealthy weight gain and type 2 diabetes. So, what is the solution to quench our thirst this summer? 

Let's explore some healthier options:

  • Infuse water with fruits such as cucumber, berries for yummy flavor.
  • Make homemade lemonade with a touch of honey.
  • Fresh fruit juice such as watermelon and grapefruit. Jaljeera can also be a good choice.
  • Enjoy refreshing smoothies such as watermelon mint, Mango and banana, Spinach-banana, Coconut blueberries or Cucumber mint and melon for a delicious way to stay hydrated.
  • Coconut water has electrolytes to keep you hydrated.
  • Enjoy unsweetened iced tea with a squeeze of lemon.
  • Try homemade kombucha or water kefir for a healthy, bubbly taste.
