Favorite non-alcoholic low calorie beverages?

I’ve been drinking cucumber lime ginless fizz on repeat for the past several weeks.

I muddle some cucumber slices with a hefty shot of rose’s sweetened lime juice (I estimate it is about 2 tbsp, so 30 calories total). pour it over ice, top it with lime-flavored seltzer and garnish with a cucumber slice. So good!

I like to take a cup of watermelon, honeydew or cantaloupe, about half a cup of water/ice, a thick slice of cucumber and a thin slice of lime (skin and all), blend in my personal sized blender and top with a bit of fizz.

I know this is the non-alcoholic beverages thread, but adding a little Deep Eddy’s grapefruit vodka is pretty tasty too.

My husband raved about elderberry pomegranate applie cider drink from TJ diluted with S Pellegrino 1:1. Says it tasted like his favorite NA cocktail called Shrub at our favorite brunch place. For 1/4 of the price!

What is “diet” about this drink? Around here…they aren’t diet at all.

There are a few low calorie Arnold Palmer’s.

Chick fil a makes one with unsweetened ice tea and diet lemonade. It’s my drink of choice. They call it something else.

I think Snapple and Arizona tea have low calorie options.

Our Arnold’s are just ice tea and lemonade mixes…not diet of either.

There’s even a Zero.

I honestly have no idea what I was saying here :rofl:

Water.

Just kidding. I am partial to Sparkling Ice.

I think I was saying, because I don’t like the diet version (of anything), I generally avoid them and stick with water.

Ditto. :slight_smile: I can’t stand any sugar substitutes so water all the way for me in restaurants.

Not sure if this has already been mentioned but I tried the Topo Chico Blueberry/Hibicus sparkling water and really liked it! I’m picky about the flavorings in sparkling waters and seltzers and thought the blueberry was just right. It does have 10 cals a can and 1g of carbs. It may run a bit heavy on the bubbles for me, but I do like the flavor!
