In August of 2013 I wrote a blog post about how and why I cut back on soda. You can find that here. I did have a few sodas after that, but it's now been almost one year since I've had any. The strategies I used then are still relevant today. Here my five favorite alternatives to soda in no specific order:
1. Homemade Smoothies - While certainly not calorie-free, homemade smoothies are healthy and filling. They also satisfy my sweet tooth. Click here for one recipe.
2. Homemade Lemonade - Add two teaspoons of sugar and fresh lemon juice to ice cold water and you have lemonade.
3. Homemade Unsweetened Iced Tea - Brew your own pitcher of tea. I used to love sweet tea almost as much as soda. I can no longer stand the taste of sweet tea!
4. Filtered and Flavored Tap Water - Lemon and limes are my favorite! For a refreshing taste I also enjoy cucumber slices in my water.
5. Ice Cold Plain Filtered Tap Water - This is actually my favorite substitute for soda.
What are your strategies for cutting back on soda? Do you have a favorite substitute?
