7 Ways to Cut Down on Liquid Calories
Eat Your Juice
If you’re thirsty and craving something sweet and tart, there’s a better-for-you option than fruit juice. It’s fruit. Simple as that. Since it's water-based, fresh fruit not only will quench your thirst, but it also will fill you up. Although fresh fruit does contain natural sugars, it also provides vitamins, nutrients and fiber that juice does not. If you must have your juice, try lighter or low-sugar alternatives for about half the calories of regular juice, or dilute regular juice with water. Because juice can’t fill you up, think of it as just extra calories.

I actually have several beverage bottles that I fill with water each day. I also like to freeze fruit cubes and mix them in my water bottles. I also will add a little flavored "healthy" powder mixes to the water and let set in the fridge overnight. Works out great, I bring them to work and make sure I'm fueled up everyday!

Another thing that is good and quite refreshing! Make a gallon of ice tea, no sugar to it! While the tea is still warm add one slice orange. Slice the whole in and drop them in! The warmth of the tea will bring out a tad bit of the orange rind, and the orange pulp gives the tea a nice mellow sweetness. Not too sweet! I do not like sweet tea, rather have it with nothing in it at all, but this is particularly nice in the summer when its hot and you get burned out on sticky sweet tea and leamon tea!
I have also squeezes the juice into icecube trays and added a bit of the orange into the cbe as well. freeze and thenyou can add your desired amount to you own tea instead of a gallon! Keeps the tea nice and cold! I never use orange juice you buy because it does have such hugh sugar, and fresh tastes so wonderful!
