There are three things I drink (in large quantities) every day to stay
hydrated:
1.
Water
Yep, simple, plain, water. I have multiple
re-usable bottles filled with water in the fridge at all times (because cold
water is always the most refreshing to me). Sometimes I add lemon, which I love!
2.
Green Tea
Tea bag, water and a packet of stevia (or
without sweetener). Usually I drink it hot (even in the summer, our office can
be an icebox). If I forget it on my desk,
I come back later and drink it cold (it’s good both ways!).
3.
Chai Tea
The brewed kind (from a tea bag). You should
see the looks I get at starbucks from most barista’s when I order this. I
always say “venti BREWED chai tea”. With two splendas and some non-fat milk
(1/2 inch left at the top to be exact). When dieting I realized the chai mix
they use adds lots of calories. The brewed version, while different, is still
great. Especially with the right ratio of water, non-fat milk and sweetener.
Save all the unnecessary calories with the chai mix they use and get brewed
chai. I also make this at home with Tazo Chai tea bags, sweetener and non-fat
milk. Please don’t tell me how bad all the 0 calorie sweetener is that I
consume… it’ll make me sad.
