6 Delicious Low-Calorie Summer Drinks to Refresh You

Fruits and vegetables lay on the bag
We live in Dubai, and we are almost always feeling hot and thirsty. But don’t just grab the first cool drink you see—what quenches your thirst could also sabotage your weight loss efforts. Here are my top  recommendations for low-calorie beverages that fit perfectly into your healthy diet plan in Dubai and will help you stay refreshed:

​​​​​​​01/ Zero-Calorie Water.

 Yes, plain water. If you find yourself constantly thirsty, it could mean you're not drinking enough water. So, before reaching for a calorie-packed cocktail, grab a glass of cool water first.

02/ Healthy No-Calorie Beverages.

Avoid regular sodas and sweetened drinks, and opt for no-calorie alternatives instead. Options include flavored mineral water, carbonated water with a slice of lemon, or plain coffee and tea.

03/ Iced Tea.

 Iced tea is a great summer sipper, as long as it’s not sweetened. You can easily make iced tea from your favorite tea flavor by chilling a pitcher in the fridge for a few hours. Try to avoid adding too much sugar.

​​​​​​​04/ Fruit Juice.

Natural fruit juices are a good choice because they not only quench your thirst but also provide nutrients like vitamin C, fiber, phytochemicals, and folic acid. To cut down on calories, try mixing your fruit juice with club soda or carbonated water. Make sure to choose 100% fruit juice.

​​​​​​​05/ Caffeinated Beverages.

When visiting a coffee shop, avoid all the high-calorie toppings they may offer, like syrup, sugar, whipped cream, and more. These can turn your zero-calorie coffee into a 250-500 calorie drink loaded with 4-18 grams of fat. Ask for skimmed milk instead of full-fat milk to keep your coffee light.

All these drinks are healthy and can help you feel refreshed.. So, stay cool and enjoy the summer while keeping your health and diet in check!
