With summer on our doorsteps, we’re already imagining spending all our free time on the beach with a cold refreshing beverage in our hand. However, if you’re on a diet, you know that you just can’t drink everything you want. In fact, beer and sodas are forbidden during a diet, but there are still many other drinks which are just as refreshing and pretty much healthier than a can of Cola.
Here are 7 refreshing summer drinks that will keep you in shape:
Stevia
- No matter if you need to sweeten your lemonade, coffee or ice tea, stevia is a far better choice than sugar.
- The natural sweetener can boost the fat burning process in your body and comes from the Stevia Rebaudiana plant that is 200-300 times sweeter than refined sugar.
- Buy a small bottle of liquid stevia and use it in your drinks in order to reduce your weight without side-effects.
Lemonade
- A lemon has less than a gram of sugar, making it an ideal solution against weight gain.
- Add a lemon slice in your tea or cocktail in order to boost the burning of fat in your body.
Kefir
- Kefir is a fat-free drink and a great substitute for milk and yogurt.
- It contains a lot of protein, but is also rich in calories, so don’t consume too much of it.
- Fat-free versions of kefir are even richer in probiotics than regular yogurt, which makes it great for your digestion.
Watermelon juice
- The watermelon juice is a great low-calorie juice with a refreshing taste that is perfect for the summer.
- Besides helping you lose weight, the juice will also prevent stroke, diabetes, heart attack and may also assist in the prevention of various types of cancer.
Kiwi
- The citrus fruit won’t affect your weight loss process directly, but the antioxidants and vitamin C in it will stimulate your digestion and metabolism and help your body burn fat more efficiently.
- Add a few slices of kiwi in your shakes and smoothies in order to boost the fat-burning process.
