6 Low-Calorie Drinks That Are Just as Great as Your Sugary Favorites

As people on a health journey, we underestimate how easy it is to drink your daily calories. Can you believe that one milkshake can have up to 1,000? We understand, though. It's hard to want to give up sugary drinks like frappes and soda.

However, no longer consuming those guilty pleasure treats doesn't mean you only have water available. Below, we'd like to introduce you to six lifesaving beverages that satisfy our sweet tooth.

Topo Chico Carbonated Mineral Water — 0 Calories

We don't like soda for the sugar—it's the carbonation that reels us in. These days, we opt for sparkling water, and Topo Chico is one of our favorites. The level of fizz in this drink feels like fireworks exploding in your mouth, and the taste is refreshing, too.

 

Simply Light Lemonade Juice Drink —25 Calories

When we do crave sugar, it's almost always lemonade. There's something addicting about that sour tang. You can replace your usual with Simply's Light version. It takes some time to get used to the different sugars, but you won't regret it once you do.

Humm Mango Passionfruit Probiotic Kombucha — 35 Calories

If you exhibit IBS symptoms, it could be from the amount of sugar in your diet. You can promote good gut health with a probiotic drink like Humm. Kombucha is definitely an acquired taste, but anyone we know who loves it can't put the bottle down.

 

OLIPOP Strawberry Vanila Sparkling Tonic — 35 Calories

Don't want to ditch soda? There are healthy ones available, like OLIPOP. This industry-changing soda acts as a probiotic but has the enjoyable flavor and bubbles of a Coca-Cola. They have tons of flavors beyond Strawberry Vanilla, such as Classic Root Beer and Ginger Ale, to imitate your favorite pop. Besides, you know this product is good when Camila Cabello is an ambassador.

 

Tazo Hibiscus Passion Iced Tea — 70 Calories

We've always preferred coffee over tea, so adding more of it to our diet was easy. We always go for Tazo because they have great blends, and many are caffeine-free. This Hibiscus Passion Ice Tea tastes just like our favorite drink from Starbucks.

 

Minute Maid Agua Fresca — 90 Calories

When we think of Minute Maid, we assume it would have the worst nutrition label we could imagine. Our expectations were low when they announced the Aguas Frescas line, but to our surprise, it's much healthier than their usual offerings. This can is 16 ounces of great flavor—it's hard to believe there's only 90 calories in it.
