Healthy Soft Drink?

[Chandler_90]

If you had too what would you class as a healthy soft drink?
I'm off water ATM as I'm recovering from Man Flu and water basically takes of what my mouth does ATM.. Which isn't nice!

I'm trying to stay away from caffeine and artificial sweetners..

Is Sprite a good option?

 

[Paul11]

any fizzy drink is full of sugar and not really healthy

edit:

what about something like green tea ?

 

[tom_e]

sugar free squash, if you get the double concentrate you only have to use a little so you're not going to get a massive dose of sweeteners.

I thought tea contained caffeine?

Perhaps I should have asked what is the best of the bad bunch lol

 

[Chandler_90]

Squash is a good idea.. Technically just flavoured water with less sweetners!

 

[Paul11]

sorry, yes it does ... didnt read the op about not wanting caffeine, my bad

I'd go for this also.

Green Tea does indeed contain caffeine.

Honey + lemon

Squeeze a lemon into a glass, top up with hot (recently boiled) water and stir in some honey to taste. Bang a bit of whisky in there too if you feel so inclined.

EPIC manflu drink. The honey helps your throat and gives you energy while the lemon makes your mouth taste nice again and is full of vitamin C.

Water with a slice of lemon or lime in it (make it yourself, don't get the flavoured waters, that's just lazy!)

I love squash. I ship it out here as I can't get it and it's the thing I miss the most!

Soda water with sugar free/no added sugar cordial. Best thing you're gonna get without the sugar.

Just what I was going to suggest, dilute a fair whack so it's not too acidic.

Also good with gin

drink some fresh orange juice instead. Get some vit C in you!

 

[DanTheMan]

My go-to fizzy drink is soda water + lime cordial. It is the only drink that really refreshes me and is nowhere near as unhealthy as most fizzy drinks.

It has to be Rose's cordial though.

Buy a soda stream and fizz up some squash concentrate orange juice through some water ? or black current.
I used to do that in my early teens.

+1, lots of honey and a little lemon and it's nice especially on a cold day.

Er...

I'm not sure you understand what double concentrated means.

 

[Randomface74]

I like 7-up free in this kind of situation. But I'm a full-fat coke guy most of the time.

Peppermint tea, lemon and ginger tea, orange juice (although Otis loaded with sugar), fruit smoothe
