7 fizzy pop swaps
Beth Furness - Assistant Nutritionist | 16 Oct, 2021
Drinking fizzy drinks too often, whether sugar-free or not, can have harmful effects on our teeth. Limit how often you drink fizzy drinks and try some of our healthier and tastier options!
1 Homemade smoothies
While these can be high in sugars, they also contain important nutrients, making them a good choice.
2 Green tea
Opt for an unsweetened version and try both hot and iced to see which you like best.
3 Fresh coconut water
This can be very refreshing and is bursting with nutrients.
4 Lower-fat milks
Why not blend in a banana for a healthy milkshake full of calcium, protein and vitamins.
5 Herb and fruit infused water
Try adding mint or cucumber to your water for a tasty, nutritious kick.
6 Freshly squeezed juices
While still high in sugar, freshly squeezed juices are fine in moderation as they still contain lots of essential vitamins.
7 Kombucha drinks
Opt for unsweetened to limit added sugars. These fermented drinks can be great for our gut health.
