🍉🍋🍓 Looking for an easy way to cut back on added sugar this summer and stay hydrated?

Nicole Clark, MS, RD, CNSC, LDN, nutrition support coordinator at Cape Cod Healthcare, suggests making simple beverage swaps. Replace traditional lemonade or sweetened iced tea with no-sugar-added versions or dilute your favorite sugary drink with flavored seltzer.

For an extra-refreshing twist, add seasonal fruits and vegetables such as watermelon, strawberries or cucumber, along with fresh herbs like basil or mint.

“It can help take plain seltzers up a notch for something different,” says Clark. “These small changes can help reduce added sugar while keeping drinks flavorful and enjoyable.”
