after reading an article in women's health exposing the amount of calories in fruit juices coming from sugar, it really turned me off sweet fruit juices. my replacement, that i now love even more than juice, is san pellegrino with lime! tonight there were fresh berries in the fridge so i decided to add one in and it was a lovely addition. we bought a case of the bubbly water from costco (the most affordable way of buying it), and d and i usually finish off a bottle per night and have found it so refreshing and a delicious alternative.
if you're feeling for something a bit more sweet you can try adding a bit of lemonade, or a flavored lemonade or orange juice (personally i like a 5:1 ratio of s.pellegrino to juice). but fruit provides so much natural sweetness so why not enjoy it!
incase your curious, these were the five facts that turned me off the fruit juice...
106 calories from sugar in 8oz of pink lemonade
112 calories from sugar in 8oz of orange juice
127 calories in 8oz of orange soda
137 calories from sugar in 8oz of cranberry juice
152 calories from sugar in 8oz of grape juice
ps. this is my first post with pictures from my new camera! yay! aren't they pretty?
