Five Tips to Enjoying Frozen Drinks and Avoiding Calorie Land Mines
On the warmest days, nothing beats the heat like an icy beverage. It’s OK to indulge in the occasional frozen treat, and it’s possible to revel in them on a more regular basis, especially if you don’t mind a little sugar. For those looking for sugar free drinks try Caffe D’Vita’s sugar free mixes. Using Splenda®, our products are made without sugar, and are low in calories and have the same great taste without compromising flavor.
SMOOTHIES
Made with real fruit, smoothies can have some redeeming value, but serving size is important. The bigger you make your smoothie, the more calories. On the warmest days, nothing beats the heat like an icy beverage, but moderation is the key. It’s OK to indulge in the occasional frozen treat, and it’s possible to revel in them on a more regular basis. But, watch your portion size.
Tips to keeping it healthy
1• Pay attention to serving size.
2• Read the ingredients. Code words to avoid: whipped cream, creamy and drizzled.
3• Don’t make it a daily habit. If you are going for a full-calorie splurge, make it an occasional indulgence of no more than once a week.
4• Make it yourself to better control what you are consuming. Turn your smoothie craving into a healthy way to eat by making smoothies at home with seasonal fruit and ice. Consider adding nonfat yogurt, and if you are feeling adventurous, add spinach or kale to the blender to pump up the nutrients.
5• Beware of mixed adult beverages. An average margarita has just under 400 calories, pina coladas even more. Try a lower-calorie beverage by combining equal parts wine and club soda for just 80 calories and half the alcohol of a glass of wine.
