I just mean a good drink to help go low(er) sugar?
kombucha (low sugar)
coconut milk (no added sugar/low sugar)
A few drops of Lemon or lime juice in Carbonated water.
That’s the good shit. Not just a few drops, get the whole lemon in there.
People may really give me shit for this but I switched to artificial sweeteners for my drinks. When I really feel like something with flavor I drink diet soda or crystal light. Back when I made the switch I lost 13 pounds immediately.
Let the down votes and hate take me.
Can you edit this to give the actual sweetener > bolded at top? Like you talking aspartame, stevia etc?
Well, it depends on the drink really.
I personally prefer aspartame, I just like the taste more and even liked it when I still drank sugared drinks. Sucralose is also perfectly fine but I hated it back when I drank sugared drinks. It took my tastebuds changing to adapt to it. Stevia is okay, not my favorite, but I won’t shy away from it.
It’s just personal preference. I’m sure people here will rant and rave about how this is all poison, I’m killing myself, and that everyone should only ever drink water.
I missed the boat on forming a water habit. I grew up on really bad well water that wasn’t potable sometimes and even when it was safe (maybe?) it smelled strongly of sulfur. So my mom just made Koolaid with it to hide the smell and taste and that’s what we drank. It’s hard to imagine sitting down for a meal and not having a drink with flavor, you know?
Should I have formed better habits as an adult? Yes. Am I killing myself by drinking diet drinks? Possibly.
But I’m not too bothered by it. It’s not like I don’t drink water now.
When you go to a restaurant, do you not enjoy the nice water they usually serve with immersed lemons?
Stevia, either as an ingredient (stevia-sweetened drinks) or a mix-in (dried powder or tincture dropper, eg to add to tea or coffee)
I’m a big fan of unsweetened soda water. Ila Croix, klarbrunn, bubly.
I make my own though with a soda stream. I have a shit ton of hops as a home brewer so I make flavoring that’s steeped hops (filtered out after steeping), combined 50/50 with juice blend I make 50/50 from lemon and lime. Not the fake from concentrate shit, but I don’t fresh squeeze it either. You can get the real stuff in most grocery stores these days.
So 1/2 hops tea, 1/4 unsweetened lemon juice and 1/4 unsweetened lime juice.
Then I put about an inch of that in a pint glass and fill it the rest of the way with soda water.
Very low calorie and hits the spot. It has helped me entirely stop drinking beer at home.
I go through a lot of no sugar propel. Probably more than I should? But it’s good.
